The GTP was powered by a 16-Valve variation of the 944 Engine which was then turbocharged, and the end result was an astounding 420RWHP ++ ( I`ve read somwhere 600hp )
. In addition to 7th place, the GTP spent just 56 minutes in the pits the whole race, the least time of any entrant. "

Interesting, I've always seen that car called a 924 GTP.
