Porsche 928

The vehicle in detail

The result is remarkable stability and confidence through corners. The 928 is something of a mid-corner assassin, allowing its driver to carry considerable speed and power through a bend while maintaining impressive grip. As a small aside, the Weissach axle can be regarded as an early forerunner of the active rear-steering systems found on modern performance cars. Porsche does, after all, have a habit of being ahead of its time. And then there is the styling. With its unmistakable Porsche design and distinctive late-1970s and 1980s lines, the 928 was a striking car when new and, remarkably, still looks modern today. This particular example was originally delivered in the United States and is finished in the highly evocative combination of Indian Red over a beige leather interior. It is a wonderfully period-correct colour scheme and suits the character of the 928 beautifully. More importantly, considerable sums have been invested in this car in recent years by a number of respected specialists. The fortunate next owner will therefore have the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of that expenditure rather than undertake it themselves. For anyone looking for a particularly handsome 928 S, this example deserves closer consideration.
