The Porsche 928 is a sporty coupe that was manufactured from 1978 to 1995. Over its seventeen-year career, it delighted many not only with its nearly aesthetically perfect design but also with the impressive features it comes with. Additionally, it boasted unprecedented technology that left everyone baffled when it was released in 1977, earning it the prestigious title of ‘Car of the Year’, the only Porsche ever to have ever achieved this distinction.
Beyond being Porsche's first car with a V8 engine, it was also front-mounted and water-cooled, both of which were relatively unusual for a Porsche. To achieve balanced weight distribution, they opted for a transaxle setup with the gearbox located right above the rear axle. This is why the presence of the central console extends all the way to the rear seats. Porsche's main goal was to build the 928 as light as possible. For this reason, the doors and hood were entirely constructed of aluminium, which contributed to its reduced weight. All these factors made the car not just lighter, also it got considerably faster, as Porsche advertised the 928 with the tagline: ‘from zero to a hundred kilometres per hour and back to zero in only ten seconds’.
Over the years, the Porsche underwent several facelifts, which typifies Porsche's models. In 1980, the 928 S was introduced, featuring rear and front spoilers for an even better aerodynamics. Seven years later, in 1987, a sportier 928 S4 was released, offering more power, additional options, and overall modernization. The series climaxed with the 928 GTS, which had a larger engine capacity and became the most powerful 928 variant.
Reportedly, 70% of all Porsches ever built are still on the roads, and the 928 makes no exception, given its reliability and avant-garde modernity.
Porsche 928 GTS
The Porsche 928 GTS was built from 1992 to 1995, marking the end of the impressive 928 series. Porsche decided to conclude the series with a bang, introducing the 928 GTS. It shattered the 24-hour speed record of all time, covering a distance of 6,377 kilometres - 3,962 miles - on public roads within 24 hours, averaging over 260 kilometres per hour, or 162 miles per hour.
Compared to its predecessor in series, the 928 S4, the GTS boasts a substantial increase of 30 horsepower, with the displacement being upgraded from 5 litres to 5.4 litres in size.
The 928 GTS can be seen as a precursor to the Panamera. Prior to the Panamera, the 928 GTS was the last so-called Gran Turismo - or GT - that Porsche built, which is one of the reasons why it has become a coveted classic
