Not just one of the best Porsches ever built, but one of the best automobiles ever

The 928 has to be one of the greatest automobiles ever made. It never fit the Porsche mold so it never really got the respect it truly deserves on the world stage. I believe if an unknown German company built the exact car, it would have more respect. When it came out it just was not what a Porsche was supposed to be so lots of people discounted it. That is sad but good at the same time because enthusasts can get a world class car for average car prices.

4m48s? anti corrosion warranty? I have owned a 1989 928GT, it has covered 280,000 KM & has never needed welding,nor does it need any now. Bought in Bristol 2004 & I have just driven around the far north of Scotland averaging 27MPG, (10.4L @100KM). Nothing about these cars is hugely expensive unless you get the franchised dealer to do the clutch. This one was a bit awkward on the single track roads though, & the only "disaster" I have suffered has been a front wheel bearing. Not bad at all!

Ever since I saw the 928 in Weird Science as a kid, I became almost obsessed with it. I used to ogle my neighbor's 928 almost all day, and when I wasn't doing that, I would study the Chilton 924/928 manual cover to cover. I used to read Excellence magazine all day at school. And I still want nothing more than a 928 S4.

That soft side trim strip always looks out of place. But I suppose that it is either that thing - or door dings. Seems a shame that the rotor-dial wheels seemed to have been dropped from the option list after the car's premier. Along with the 928, BMW's E31 is also on my bucket list. Beautiful and "tuff" looking at the same time. Not unlike the Messerschmidt 262.

I delivered newspapers as a kid and was nearly run over by a beautiful teal coloured 928 on a sunny Sunday morning in 1979! It was common for kids to ogle any supercar that passed through our poor neighbourhood only huge engraved ‘PORSCHE’ name on the rear bumper gave it away. I was already a fan of the 911 because of its stunning Le Mans 24H performances. so I knew 4this was a car like no other. This was how my love affair with the 928 began. I the car of my dreams 23 years later, a gorgeous jet black 928 S4. Some years she could be a high maintenance mistress, but for many years a faultless long distance gentleman’s carriage and companion. A 928 really is more than a car as they say in this excellent promotional video. I still check the National car registry to see if she’s still on the road and I’m pleased that in 2022 she still gives its new owners pleasure’s over 30 years since she was born, a testament to Porsches formidable engineering quality ❤️🙏🏽

My 78 and 88 are two entirely different yet remarkably similar vehicles. You know your in a 928, that is unmistakable, but the two are also very different. The early model is a stick and very sparse on luxury type items, but it is a MONSTER. The 88 is like driving a Mercedes that canabalises other Mercedes.

I have taken my children, my wife and myself with BASIC overnight bags all to the bay area from salem Oregon and everyone arrives ready to do something instead of grumpy and tired like they are when we take our Ford Excursion. The trick is, your kids have to be like 12 years old and you have to follow the seat adjustment procedure in the manual to adjust your seat properly. (germans...)

Interestingly the S2 auto starts in 1st, but in the S4 it starts in second, supposedly to control the additional power to the wheels when taking off. Fits the GT genre rather than the go cart feeling of the 911. Although the auto sucks some of the power I always found it such a pleasure to drive and the transmission was rock solid. On both my 928s have never touched the transmission even after 170Ks on the clock

I have done a lot of work on it while working on my 6 other cars. Of which 4 are driven on a regular basis. The 78 is drivable now. So how did I scam you exactly?
