hey i have a 924 Sebring and i have been told that it was the test platform for the 944 before they released it and that a lomited number were made. is this true or are people making things up? i have no idea so any help on what the Sebring part means would be nice.

Sorry for the limited help. I don't know much about the Sebring model.

I own the Sebring in 924 Models and History, They made 1292 all for the US. Did'nt have anymore to do with the944 then any other 924. Very few left with orig stripes, know of Four. Transmission of very poor design,made for racing, be careful with it, COSTS PLENTY to Rebuild.
Do you have the plaid interior yet?

thanx for the info. yeah i still got the plaid interior though its a little faded. my transmission does grind a little in first gear and when shifting into second a little but thats it. im hopeing to get it all fixed up soon. then it'll be more fun.

Rebuild it before you trash it!!!

I kinda wonder if the Sebring model was a bit of a homologation special for Porsche's efforts racing the 924 in the D Production class; the big brakes and the tranny, for one.
