The Stuttgart museum just opened “The Transaxle Era: From the 924 to the 928,” a special exhibition that pays tribute to the 924, 928, 944, and 968 models made between 1976 and 1995.

This is the 1980 924 GTP 002 Prototype racer that finished the 1980 24 Hours of Le Mans. Alas, she’s seen better days. But that’s fixing to change.

In celebrating the new four-cyl turbos in the 718 Boxster and Boxster S, it’s good to remember that Porsche has a long and storied history with four-cylinder engines.
