The ultimate development of the 924 in its race trim was the 924 Carrera GTR race car, which produced 375 hp from a highly modified version of the 2.0 L I4 used in all 924s, and weighed in at 930 kg. This allowed for a 0–60 mph (97 km/h) time of 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 290 km/h In 1980, Porsche entered three 924 GTRs at the 24 hours of Le Mans, which went on to finish 6th, 12th and 13th overall. Also building a 924GTR rally race car, and two other GTRs (Miller and BF Goodrich). 17 fully assembled 924 GTRs were built, with chassis numbers 18 and 19 as spares for the private racing teams. A limited number of special series parts were produced to support the teams.
