The Porsche 928, a grand tourer produced by Porsche from 1978 to 1995, was a radical departure from the traditional air-cooled, rear-engined Porsche sports cars of the time. Designed as a successor to the 911, the 928 featured a water-cooled, front-mounted V8 engine, a transaxle gearbox, and a luxurious, spacious interior, aiming for a more comfortable and practical driving experience. The 928's distinctive, wedge-shaped design, with its low hood and sloping rear deck, was penned by Wolfgang Möbius and was considered a masterpiece of automotive design. This bold styling, coupled with its powerful engine and luxurious interior, set it apart from the competition and quickly established it as a luxury sports car for those who sought sophistication alongside performance. The 1978-1982 Porsche 928 went through several iterations, and the first generation cars were equipped with a 4.5-liter V8 engine producing 240 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. Subsequent model years saw slight improvements in power and drivetrain, but the overall design remained largely unchanged. The 928's unique front-engine layout provided better weight distribution and handling characteristics compared to the 911, making it a more stable and comfortable car to drive, especially at higher speeds. The luxurious interior featured leather upholstery, air conditioning, and a comprehensive instrument panel, catering to discerning drivers who valued both performance and comfort. Although the 928 faced some initial criticism for not being a true "911," it eventually gained a loyal following for its innovative design, powerful engine, and luxurious features, establishing itself as a classic and highly sought-after model in the Porsche lineup.
