In this category, you will find a specialized selection of Genuine and Aftermarket parts for Porsche Transaxle models, suitable for both regular maintenance and restoration projects faithful to the vehicle’s original specifications.
Porsche models with a TRANSAXLE architecture are distinguished by a front-mounted engine and rear-mounted transmission, a technical solution developed by Porsche to achieve balanced weight distribution and exceptional driving dynamics. This architecture was used in a specific range of models produced between 1976 and 1995.
In the early 1970s, Porsche began developing a new model intended to replace the Porsche 914. The project, initially conceived for Volkswagen, was canceled due to the oil crisis, which led Porsche to acquire the rights and continue development independently.
The main technical innovation was the adoption of the TRANSAXLE system, combining a front-mounted water-cooled engine with a rear-mounted transmission connected via a rigid tube (torque tube). This solution allowed nearly perfect weight distribution, improving stability, traction, and dynamic balance.
The first model to feature this architecture was the Porsche 924, launched in 1976. Despite initial criticism for using an Audi/VW engine, its reliability, dynamic balance, and cost-effectiveness made it a key model for Porsche’s financial stability.
Within the TRANSAXLE lineup, the Porsche 928 represented the technological pinnacle, incorporating advanced solutions like the Weissach rear axle to enhance high-speed stability and safety. It is also the only sports car to receive the European Car of the Year award (1978).
The constant technical and mechanical evolution of these models makes it essential to use specific parts according to version, engine, and production year, ensuring proper restoration, optimal performance, and preservation of the vehicle’s original value.
The Porsche TRANSAXLE range consists of different models and variants, each with technical particularities that directly affect parts compatibility.
In this category, you will find a specialized selection of compatible parts for Porsche TRANSAXLE models, organized by vehicle systems:
All available parts have been selected according to Porsche’s technical standards, prioritizing precise fit, reliability, and respect for the original vehicle configuration.
Since not all parts are interchangeable between versions and variations may exist depending on year or market, each product sheet specifies the exact compatibility using the official Porsche PET reference, ensuring the correct part selection.
