The Porsche 928, introduced in 1977, was a groundbreaking luxury grand tourer that challenged the traditional Porsche formula. While the 911 remained the company’s flagship sports car, the 928 was intended to be a more comfortable and practical alternative, offering a unique blend of performance and everyday usability. Its sleek, wedge-shaped design, penned by Wolfgang Möbius, was a radical departure from the familiar 911 silhouette. Under the hood, the 928 boasted an innovative front-mounted, water-cooled V8 engine that delivered impressive power and torque while offering a smoother and more refined driving experience than its air-cooled counterpart. This engineering marvel, coupled with its advanced suspension, powerful brakes, and luxurious interior, established the 928 as a formidable contender amongst the world's most prestigious automobiles.

Despite its innovative design and exceptional performance, the 928 faced an uphill battle in the market. Its relatively high price tag and the enduring popularity of the 911 hindered its commercial success. However, the 928 continued to evolve throughout its production run, with subsequent model years incorporating refinements and performance upgrades. It became a respected collector's item and a testament to Porsche's commitment to engineering excellence. The 1979 model year saw the introduction of several key improvements, including a revised fuel injection system for enhanced performance, a larger fuel tank for extended range, and a new steering wheel with improved ergonomics. These updates helped to solidify the 928's reputation as a luxurious and capable grand tourer, capable of handling both everyday commutes and long-distance journeys with equal aplomb. The 1979 Porsche 928 represented a significant chapter in Porsche's history, a testament to the company's relentless pursuit of innovation and performance.
