The Porsche 928 is a grand touring car produced by Porsche from 1978 to 1995. A revolutionary departure from Porsche's traditional rear-engined layout, the 928 featured a front-mounted, water-cooled V8 engine and transaxle rear-wheel drive. Designed to be a potential successor to the iconic 911, the 928 aimed to offer a more comfortable and practical grand tourer while maintaining the performance and handling prowess expected of a Porsche. The 928's distinctive lines, featuring a long hood, sloping roofline, and integrated rear spoiler, were a testament to its aerodynamic design. Its luxurious interior, replete with plush leather seats, a comprehensive instrument cluster, and a range of creature comforts, ensured a refined driving experience.
Underneath its elegant exterior, the 928 housed a powerful and sophisticated drivetrain. The 4.5-liter V8 engine, initially producing 240 horsepower, later received numerous upgrades throughout its production run, culminating in the 5.4-liter, 345-horsepower iteration found in the final generation. The 928's transaxle layout, with the transmission mounted at the rear axle, provided exceptional weight distribution and handling. Despite its size and luxurious appointments, the 928 was a formidable performer, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in under six seconds and achieving a top speed exceeding 150 mph. The 928's combination of luxury, performance, and innovative design made it a significant milestone in Porsche's history and a highly sought-after classic car today.
