A Drive Through History with the Porsche 928

This short documentary on the Porsche 928 is a compelling tribute to one of the most iconic sports cars of the 1980s. The Porsche 928 was a grand touring car produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1977 until 1995. Originally intended to replace the Porsche 911, the 928 combined the aspects of a sports car and a luxury car. The 928 became the top-of-the-line production car sold by Porsche. Porsche executives believed such a flagship would have wider appeal than the compact 911. The 928 was the company's first production V8-powered model and its only coupé powered by a front-mounted V8 engine.
The 928 was updated several times over its 18-year production run. In 1980, the S model was introduced with a more powerful engine and revised styling. In 1986, the GTS model was introduced, which was even more powerful and performance-oriented. The final version of the 928 was the 1995 GTS, which was produced in limited numbers.
The Porsche 928 was a successful car, and it helped to establish Porsche as a manufacturer of high-performance luxury cars. However, it was never as popular as the 911, and it was eventually discontinued in 1995. Today, the 928 is a sought-after classic car, and it is considered to be one of the most important cars in Porsche's history.

The Porsche 928 and the Aston Martin Lagonda are what turned me in to a petrol-head. Design and engineering at its best.

Ok, but specifically, the NA, 32 valve, 928S. I owned the 85 for about 13 years and loved it so much. Had a friend who owned the S4 and one day we were both out together with our cars. Neither of us were afraid to put our foot into it and after 3 stoplight races between our 2 cars, it was clear that my 85 was faster off the line than his 87 S4. As a very good mechanic on these cars, he speculated that the 928S might have had a more aggressive cam profile than the S4 allowing to be more "perky" from a dead stop over the S4. Never validated that but I still feel today the 1985, 928S had something that was a little different than the models before and after. Both cars were auto BTW so maybe it was even something in the gearing or final drive?

It has always had 5 speed manual. (Not 4 as mentioned)

[@diegohorton869]

[@critic3001]

Lucky you ;-)

928 s4 came out in 1987 not 86 and also 0 to 60 was not 6 sec. It is 5.6 seconds

[@gazfish]

78 was 4.5

[@xZeiZeix]

It was introduced in 1977 Geneva Motor Show, not in -71. Hp numbers are from US models, Rest Of World models has more hp.

Excellent video. Glad to see the false claim the 928 was supposed to replace the 911. The 928 was simply an addition to a manufacturer's lineup to appeal to a different marker of consumers.

[@plap.]

No, it was to replace the 911. They were going broke and needed to do something with the cars. The company and the 911 were saved by this car. With more money in hand they then decided to further develop the 911 and keep it alive and keep the root after lots of outcry from people.
