1977 Porsche 924 Targa Prototype

The Porsche 924 Targa Prototype, built in 1977, was an experimental design exploring a targa-roof variant of the U.S.-spec Porsche 924. Retaining the sleek lines and front-engine layout of the standard 924, this prototype introduced a removable roof section, offering open-air driving while maintaining structural rigidity.

Although the Targa version never reached production, the concept hinted at Porsche’s interest in expanding the 924 lineup. The idea of a removable roof would later be realized in other Porsche models, but this particular prototype remains a rare glimpse into an alternative evolution of the 924.
