Description: The Porsche 928 was the answer to question which nobody had asked. Not actually a bad car, but an example of how little Porsche knew about their market at the time. The company's first V8 product...Add Comments0
Erich EngelNov 09, 2012 Good car but very complicated and complex and you better have an unlimited bank account for when something goes wrong especially the clutch but yes a great gt from the 80s & 90s when great cars where hard to come across
Guo-Sheng HuangNov 09, 2012 Always loved this car since I was little. The look is just like BMW Z3 M coupe, which is also my dream car, that not everyone can appreciate.
António Villas-BoasNov 09, 2012 This was a great car that was clearly underestimated.
Stephen Tyler LearnNov 09, 2012 Uhh I'm poor so what's wrong with a poor mans Porsche. Not everyone can afford a pagani or whatever is in your picture
Erich EngelNov 09, 2012 i hope you realized you have said 928 turbo
Titus BrutusNov 08, 2012 the 944 is a poor man's porsche, it has tacky design has has no power. even the944 turbo which i owned was significantly weaker that a standard 928 s.
Titus BrutusNov 08, 2012 Obviously none of you have drivena 928 much less a 928 turbo. This car would put any american made v8 in the 80'sto shame. its ride was incredible, and had such goof balance ratio and handling, i owned four for the fact. the exhaust note was stellar
JB KolodNov 08, 2012 The pop up headlights on this car are awesome
Stephen IshardNov 08, 2012 A Porsche that looks different than every other Porsche it's a miracle
Stephen Tyler LearnNov 08, 2012 I love small block Chevy v8s but they definitely don't belong in a Porsche
Stephen Tyler LearnNov 08, 2012 @tyler because I love naturally aspirated v8s. @eric I understand keeping a Porsche engine in a porsche so that why I was curious about this engine
Erich EngelNov 08, 2012 Actually what's cheapest is to throw a crate Chevy small block into the 944 an you'd have mad power to weight but personally I like to have a Porsche heart in my 944
Tyler TarboxNov 08, 2012 @stephan. Why not just modify the engine already in the 944? Probably a lot cheaper
Stephen Tyler LearnNov 08, 2012 I don't know a whole lot about Porsches so is it possible to swap the v8 out of this car into the better looking 944 or is it just a waste of time and money?
Erich EngelNov 08, 2012 Yes i like the smaller, lighter, 4 banger 944 better
Description: Toward the end of the Sixties, 911 sales began slowing down at bit, and some at Porsche believed that there would soon be no way of improving the design in order to boost sales. So in 1971, an effort ...Add Comments0

Description: This isn't a huge number, but at the time it was actually pretty decent volumetric efficiency. The 928 was very technologically advanced for the time, and was the first car ever to have four-whee...Add Comments0
Description: So although it was heavier than a 911, it was much easier to drive at the limit. Europe got an S version in 1979, which would make its way to North America in 1982 for the 1983 model year. This had a ...Add Comments0
Description: From the introduction of the 928 and through much of the Eighties, it looked as though the 928 could conceivably replace the 911. It was faster than most 911 variants produced during its lifetime, and...Add Comments1

Description: In 1987, Porsche built a one-off design study of a four-door 928, known as the H50. Nobody paid much attention to it at the time, but when the Panamera was unveiled in 2009, a definite similarity was ...Add Comments1
Larry AtwoodNov 09, 2012 I'm one of the weirdos that has grown to like how the panamera looks, but the new panamera wagon looks like the panamera should have from the beginning
Jae EkmanNov 09, 2012 you have to remember the cars that were available in North America and Europe while it was being developed during the 70's. It was positively a sleek rocketship when it came out compared to everything else in 1978. It was the first production car to have bumpers concealed into the bodywork and set a land speed record in 1986 with a stock S4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsxQZ_H96aY
Description: Porsche would sell about 61,000 units of the 928 over its lifetime, which isn't bad considering it was more expensive than a 911. But the legislative and development problems which Porsche had an...Add Comments0
