1992 Porsche 928 GTS

 

Stunning original first production year Porsche 928 GTS in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. The car retains its original 5.4-liter V8 engine making 350 brake horsepower from the factory and an automatic transmission. The GTS model has different bodywork, larger front brakes, unique wheels, a new and more powerful 5.4-liter engine, and some other upgrades compared to the regular 928. The car was among the most expensive cars on the road at the time, and sales were modest, and only 955 were sold in Europe, making the GTS one of the rarest 928 ever produced. The car has a full leather interior and a newer, updated air conditioner in working order. 

 

The car has been fully inspected and serviced and can be enjoyed as-is for many years. The vehicle is out of Danish Porsche 928 collector and enthusiast ownership and has a Dutch title. An independent Dutch pre-purchase inspection report from 2021 is included in the sale.

 

The Porsche 928 was originally intended to replace the company's iconic 911. The 928 combined the power, poise, and handling of a sports car with a luxury sedan's refinement, comfort, and equipment. A significant car in Porsche history, the 928 has the distinction of being the company's first production V8-powered model and its only coupé powered by a front-mounted V8 engine.

History of the 1978-1995 Porsche 928:

The 928 debuted in March 1977 at the Geneva Auto Show. The 928 borrowed no parts from other Porsches, and its shape was like nothing else - a futuristic design with a low, wide stance, a long, sloping hood, a sharp nose, and an evenly rounded rump. "Telephone dial" wheels completed the package. At the time, design head Tony Lapine stated that "a car which is liked immediately will not hold up over time." Porsche had designed a long shelf life for its latest creation.

 

The body used collapsible polyurethane pieces over the front and rear hidden bumpers, with aluminum doors, hood, front fenders, and steel for the remaining panels. Though now commonplace, at the time, trying to coat such differing materials with a uniform paint job was a feat of ingenuity.

 

Beneath the beautiful and complicated skin lay an advanced and well-balanced powertrain. A 90-degree, all-aluminum, 16-valve, 4.5-liter V8 with Bosch Continuous Injection System (CIS). It was mated to a fully synchronized rear transaxle with either a 5-speed manual or optional 3-speed automatic, and weight distribution was nearly perfect at 51%/49%, front to rear.

 

The suspension was fully independent all around, and Porsche worked hard to perfect the 928 rear suspensions, allowing it to accommodate over-aggressive drivers without the erratic tendencies of snap oversteering. The resulting "Weissach Axle" was an engineering breakthrough, a multi-link setup that made the 928 one of the best handlers in the world.
