Classic Porsche 928 Car Review

1981 PORSCHE 928 TWO-DOOR FOUR-SEAT COUPE

Launched in 1977, the Series 1, or S1, was a huge departure from anything that Porsche had hitherto produced, and only the second front-engined water-cooled Porsche after the Audi-inspired Porsche 924 of 1976. Greatly impressive, beautifully made and with a technically fascinating rear suspension, the 928 had impeccable road holding and flexibility, with 143mph perfomance from their brand new all-alloy 90 degree V8 engine with a capacity of 4,474cc and Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system. Porsche had entered the grand touring class with a very torquey and flexible 240bhp engine which raised 60mph in just 7 seconds.

Equipped with the 4-speed automatic transmission, many were fitted with the Mercedes-Benz automatic transmission, widely acknowledged to be more desirable than the manual versions, spares availability and corrosion resistance said to be good.

I've had them all, RS3100, Tickford Capri, M6, 850i, SL500, Z4M. All great cars, but none of them put a smile on your face like a 928. No car sticks to corners like a 928. Scalelectic in real life. A true drivers car, even 911 owners nod in appreciation. And probably the most beautiful rear end of ANY car ever made. You'll fall in love !

I am on my third 928, and now settled on a manual S2. Just a super car, mine is 26 years old and feels as tight as a three year old 997. Don't listen to others, try one for yourself, yes the maintainance is expensive but this is a super car!!!!
