1992 Porsche 928 GTS – RM Sotheby’s
Road & Track magazine called Porsche’s sophisticated 928 GTS ‘a glorious final act’, the last evolution of the front-engined 928 and its wonderfully balanced transaxle chassis layout. Produced from 1992 to 1995, this iteration of Porsche’s grand tourer featured a 5.4-litre, 350 bhp, 32-valve four-cam engine, most of them mated to a Mercedes-sourced automatic transmission. Only 400 or so of the 1,389 units produced for the 1992 model year were fitted with a five-speed gearbox, and these are much sought after by enthusiasts. It could sprint to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and reach an effortless 275 km/h. High-speed stability was enhanced thanks to the 928’s unique ‘Weissach’ rear axle, which helped eliminate lift-throttle oversteer by allowing the rear suspension to adjust itself during cornering.
