The Porsche 928 was a grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Porsche from 1977 to 1995. Initially intended to replace the iconic 911, the 928 was a radical departure from its predecessor, featuring a front-mounted, longitudinally-positioned V8 engine and a transaxle layout. This innovative configuration offered exceptional handling and a smooth, powerful ride, creating a distinct driving experience. The 928 was initially offered in a single variant, the "S," equipped with a 4.5-liter V8 engine generating 240 horsepower. Subsequent model years saw the introduction of numerous variants, including the "GTS" with a 5.0-liter engine producing up to 345 horsepower, and the "S4" with a 5.4-liter engine reaching 326 horsepower. The 928's sleek and aerodynamic design, combined with its luxurious interior and advanced technology, positioned it as a high-performance touring car, capable of both comfortable cruising and thrilling performance.
The Porsche 928's impact extended beyond the realm of automotive design and performance. It garnered critical acclaim for its technical innovation and sophisticated engineering. Notably, the 928 was the first car to receive the "Car of the Year" award from "Motor Trend" magazine in the United States, a testament to its groundbreaking design and engineering achievements. Despite its initial intention to replace the 911, the 928 ultimately co-existed alongside its iconic sibling, offering an alternative for those seeking a more luxurious and refined driving experience. While production of the 928 ceased in 1995, its influence continues to be felt, inspiring subsequent Porsche models and securing its place as a significant chapter in the brand's rich history.
