The 1980 Porsche 928, a striking coupe with a distinctive front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, marked a significant departure for the German automaker. Replacing the iconic 911 as Porsche's flagship model, the 928 aimed to deliver a more comfortable and refined driving experience while retaining the brand's renowned performance credentials. Underneath its sleek, flowing lines, the 928 housed a powerful 4.5-liter V8 engine, boasting a smooth and responsive power delivery. The 928's innovative transaxle design, positioning the gearbox and differential at the rear, helped achieve a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, contributing to its balanced handling and exceptional grip.
