Yep, all 928s are V8. One of the few V8s I like the sound of

Porsche's S4 GTS 928 has one of the best V8s around. Origninally it was going to be a flat-8 (Boxer) that would replace the 911, with a 928 Cup Car to have a twin-turbo version

Yes all 928's are V8 as has been said, but they are very sluggish anywhere under about 80! Good for top end though. . .

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.

928 (older shape) defintely aren't as quick as a 33GTS-T..

No quicker then a commodore from the lights then opens up at the end of first and into second gear..

However they handle like they're on rails. . .

My parents own a 928 S4 competition model with a modded computer and head work done to it, thing flys!! i believe Porsche dont actually make the V8 though....i think its an Audi all alloy quad over head cam motor with Porsche heads an inlet etc.. on it. an the gearboxes are Mercedes...bit of a bitsa. Should see under the bonnet.....id sure hate to have to chane the plugs....

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.

saw a 928 blow up at wakefield at the recent Porsche Club track day there. the thing blew - big flame inside the cabin. smoke everywhere. nice cars anyway

Yeah my father has a 928S aswell. Pretty nice car, with a quad cam V8 which was pretty high tech back in the mid 80s. Goes not bad, the long gearing holds it back!

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.
