The link you provided was an article dated Oct 2019, approx 3-1/2 yrs ago. No idea what happened there but pretty sure that's the same car that sold this past May at Sotheby's Amelia Island for $406k. Still a hefty amount.

The 924 had a great history in racing, in race trim the maximum power they got from the 2.0 litre Audi block engine (it originally was a Mercedes engine), was 550 hp,

later on using the new 2.5 turbo 944 engine in the 924 GTR...there was no 944 GTR.... it was a 924 GTR with the new 2.5 litre turbo Porsche engine used later in the 944 Turbo.... they got 750 hp from that engine.

At Le Mans the Porsche 924 GTR Carrera 2.0 litre Turbo was quicker then the 944 turbo engined race car when restricted to Le Mans engine power restrictions.....the 2.0 litre engine was lighter and had a stronger bottom end....it evolved from the Mercedes M118 engine that was designed for military use but never used by the military...it was designed to run on multiple fuels...including diesel...so it was built strong like a diesel engine...later variants were diesel...like the ALH....
