porsche 928

The Porsche 928 is a two door 2+2, high performance, grand touring super car produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1978 until 1995. Originally conceptualised to cater for an evolving automotive market, it was Porsche’s first entirely in-house design for a production car and was ultimately intended to replace the Porsche 911 as Porsche’s flagship model. The 928 combined the handling and performance aspects of a sports car with the ride, load space and comfort of a luxury car. Porsche executives believed the package would have wider appeal than the compact, somewhat antiquated and slow-selling air-cooled 911. The 928 was the company's first production V8-powered model and its only coupé powered by a front-mounted V8 engine. It was particularly notable for its record-setting high top speed. On release in 1978, the 928's advanced design & construction won it the European Car of the Year.
