One of my staff has one (928) and it is a nice car and will hang with a stock R33 GTSt.

There is also something like a 964 that I was blasting by at the last track day...all race prepped for targa/tarmac rally but i was a second a lap quicker on street rubber and 195kmh speed limited. Be nice with turbos though.

Yep, a beautiful sounding V8 it is too, as StraightSix has said...

The 928 was actually originally created to replace the 911 back in the late 70's or early 80's, but of course the Porsche purists wouldn't have that, because:

a) it was front-engined,

B) it was a V8, and

c) it was water-cooled.

These three factors were pretty much totally against what Porsche had stood for over most of its history until then. And as good as the 928 was (there was even talk for a while of making a four-door version of the 928), people just kept demanding (and buying) the 911's, and the rest is history.

Porsche still do make a V8 (as used in the Cayenne 4WD) , but I doubt it's related to the old V8 as used way back in the 928.

My first car was going to be a 928 when I got my license "~oooh I feel old now" 12years ago. Decided against it a bought a property instead. But I remembered something about the manuals being cops, and stick with the auto's??... Anyhow I think there a nice car, but the 928S4 GTS is heaven with a porsche badge.

    • 😍 Yes! (but no! 😢 )
    • Yeah but they dont look like this, which is GOOD.
    • What magic did you work to end up under half the amount you were quoted?
    • I only just let our 2007 (post face lift) GTB Wagon go. With 2.5 turbo, and 6 speed in it too. The Subarus, especially in GT guise are super nice cars. Great on the highway, and no matter what tyres, or what surface you're on, just throw them at a corner, and they go.   Unfortunately ours had a minor accident, I started repairing it, but priorities changed due to an opportunity that came up. Sadly, sold it to someone who just wants it for the drive line to swap into their WRX to replace the 5 speed in it with a 6 speed.   Definitely share more of the B4!
    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.
