Back in the early 1970s, the Porsche management team decided it was time to build an ?berPorsche, one that would allow long distance traveling at speeds beyond 150mph, safely, without inducing driver fatigue. The car would have to be able to meet any and all government regulations that might be conceived in the foreseeable future. Its code name: 928. Its MSRP when introduced in Geneva back in 1977: $26,500 in base trim, roughly the same price as several contemporary Kia’s.
Always evolving throughout its 17-year production, the 928 began with a 4.5-liter V8 engine delivering 230hp. By 1991, the "S4" reached the pinnacle of the series with a 5.0-liter engine that produces an astounding 316 hp. Along with countless performance, suspension, safety and styling updates, the S4 has a cleaner, sleeker look that is much closer to being a 21st century car than the previous models. The factory proudly called the S4 "the fastest street legal production car sold in the US," a comfortable road rocket, capable of seating 4 while giving contemporary Ferraris, Maseratis, and Lamborghinis a run for their money.
More refined, comfortable, and luxurious than any prior Porsche, the 928 shares one very important trait with the legendary 911: timeless looks. Even 37 years after its introduction, the Tony Lapine-penned 928 design has lost nothing of its breathtaking appeal; like a spaceship from another planet, it is a superb example of the prevailing design virtues of the Seventies.
Viewed from the rear, the 928 still looks futuristic, almost 38 years after its debut. If you're in lust with its shape and desire to drive the Teutonic supercar today, be forewarned though: the 928 is a very complex automobile, and only the best-maintained low-mileage example should be pursued, or the dream of 928 ownership could easily turn into a nightmare.
On May 2, 1991, VIN *WP0AA2923MS810394*, left the factory gates in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, West Germany.
The original window sticker (price $80,634) and stamped Warrantee Voucher confirm the car sold new on March 19, 1992 at Dave Strong’s Porsche in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Making its journey west, the car was loved and cherished by a premium wine maker in Napa.
The current owner is a mature, prominent businessman who keeps the car covered and sheltered in his “man cave” among his private collection of museum quality Porsches in Monterey, CA.
The Porsche comes with all its original books and manuals, as well as all keys, including the valet keys. Ideally, a keeper 928's Owner’s Books has to look like this!
Needless to say, the car's maintenance and mileage history is fully documented. Lots of dealer service stamps entered in the maintenance book and a stack of service records vouch for an immaculate past. Studying the records confirms that the car was pampered bordering on obsession, with absolutely no regard to cost.
There are absolutely no "deferred maintenance" worries. Hence, a unique opportunity arises to obtain a coveted 928 S4, one that has always enjoyed a most beneficial climate and is pampered beyond belief by a mature owner with big pockets and the willingness to pay up for the best service and upgrades money can buy.
Let's check out this dream find now, inside and out!
The exterior, sporting its original black finish looks simply stunning.
All trim and glass remains in near-perfect condition as well.
This S4 has never suffered any damage. There are no door dings, only a few minor blems and rock chips to report.
Hood, hatch and door gaps are in perfect alignment; confirming the 928’s pampered existence for the past 23 years.
Equipped with lightweight aluminum doors and hoods, this Porsche's body is perfectly rust and accident free.
Note the factory-installed electric sunroof; code 650, one of the most desirable amenities available.
Equipped with a wind deflector, it works flawlessly.
Retractable headlights flip-up and down in perfect unison.
The front bumper and spoiler have a few scratches and rock chips
This 928 S4 still wears its original factory-installed chromed alloy wheels (some very minor pitting, see detailed photos).
There is a set of near-new YOKOHAMA ES100 ultra- high-performance radials of the size 225/50ZR16.
While we’re down on one knee, let’s have a look underneath.
More important than shiny paint is a healthy undercarriage.
This original chassis presents itself free of any kind of damage or corrosion.
No flaking, no undercoating, just the all-original finishes.
Details, details. Notice that the Porsche 928 features a transaxle design to achieve perfect weight balance, the engine being up front and the transmission mounted to the rear axle housing.
Most importantly, with the exception of a few scrapes and scratches below, there is absolutely NO evidence of corrosion, collision damage or any other mishap that would cause the enthusiast sleepless nights.
Let's look inside now!
Leather, leather everywhere.
Even dash surface and headliner are crafted from the finest aromatic hides. Highly unusual, the dash top is perfectly free of the usual leather shrinkage or warping.
This 928 S4 comes equipped with all the features you would expect of a true luxury automobile.
Among them, a height-adjustable instrument pod and steering wheel, ensuring good visibility for drivers of all sizes, and an automatic climate control system that also cools the glove compartment.
All digital and analog gauges and switches work perfectly and the 37,161 miles shown on the digital odometer are original!
Combining Porsche performance with Mercedes comfort, the seats are extremely comfortable and feature about every power adjustment a pilot could dream of.
Properly nourished, the seats' light gray hides are still soft and supple; there are no rips or tears, no wear marks of any kind.
The 928 S4 being a true GT car, the rear compartment is actually spacious enough for adult use. Interestingly, rear passengers even have their own sun visors!
Ever tried to stow all your vacation luggage, perhaps including a couple of golf bags, inside a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or even Porsche 911?
The 928's luggage compartment is cavernous, and its capacity can be increased even more by folding the rear seatbacks forward.
From the soft cotton car cover and cargo net to the unused spare tire and jack below: almost every factory goodie is still present, large or small. It's the proverbial fussy collector's dream!
How about a quick peek under the hood?
Residing in a toothbrush-clean engine bay is this amazing engineering masterpiece, entirely hewn from Reynolds 390 silicon-and-aluminum alloy.
Similar to the 911 engine, a BOSCH Jetronic injection takes care of fuel distribution.
The bullet-proof power plant is mated to Borg Warner’s finest 4-speed automatic transmission, nestled inside a lightweight Porsche case, which itself is mated to the famous Weissach rear transaxle for a near-perfect 51/49% weight distribution.
With an extensive, documented service history and a major service/system check recently completed, you can safely surmise that this particular engine is healthy as an ox in its prime. Clean as a whistle, there are no leaks, no untoward noises, no bad behaviors. It's a fitting description to call it like new.
Drivability:
From the addictive, burbling sound of the V8 to the feeling of full control at any time, driving the 928 S4 is a visceral pleasure. The car virtually clings to the road during fast cornering; the big, servo-assisted disc brakes can deliver almost 1g of deceleration force.
It's so much fun to drive a sports car equipped with a big V8 engine and automatic transmission. There are no rattles or shimmies, acceleration is impressive, and everywhere you arrive, interested passersby stop to admire this rare Porsche, marveling at the fact that a 23 year-old car can be this pristine in every way.
A true supercar, it could run with the best of Ferrari and Lamborghini in its day, entirely unfussy and without the anxiety its Italian counterparts instill in most pilots. This immaculately cared-for, low mileage, rust free, fully documented example is in museum condition and would be impossible to duplicate.
Manufactured for almost seventeen years, Porsche's superb 928 long ago was elevated to the status of a truly iconic milestone car. Here's a unique opportunity to obtain one of the very best-preserved examples you'll ever encounter.

Porsche Cayenne GTS, base models revealed ahead of LA
Wed, 05 Nov 2014Porsche unveiled a slew of refreshed Cayennes just a few months ago, but the base model (right) and high-performance GTS trim (above) were conspicuously absent from that list. There's no more reason to wonder about them, though, because the German brand plans to unveil both at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show on November 19.
Sitting below the Turbo in the lineup, the latest GTS still offers plenty of performance. It drops the previous version's naturally aspirated V8 in favor of a tuned version of the twin-turbo 3.6-liter V6 from the Cayenne S for some added oomph. The tweaks bring power up to 440 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque, which is enough to rocket the model to 62 miles per hour in an estimated 5.2 seconds. The bump also equates to 20 hp and 39 lb-ft more than the current S and more importantly 20 hp and 62 lb-ft more than the previous GTS, according to Porsche.
In addition to the extra muscle, Porsche also decks the GTS out with some added features. It comes with a standard sport exhaust and Porsche Active Suspension Management system with an air suspension lets the chassis sit about three-quarters of an inch lower (20 millimeters). To bring things to a halt, the high-performance models also takes its brakes from the Turbo model.
Porsche 911 and Citro"en DS lovechild would look like this
Wed, 06 Nov 2013The early Porsche 911 and the Citroën DS were two cars produced in the same era (though the DS launched in 1955, nearly 10 years before the 911), but they were vastly different from each other. The 911 was a uniquely German, pure-bred sports car, while the French-built DS had four doors and focused more on ride quality than sporting intentions. That made it all the more surprising when we came across the 911DS, a creation that binds the rear half of the Citroën to the front of an early, longhood 911.
The folks at Brandpowder are behind the creation, which we surmise was an exercise in design rather than an actual, completed project (some of the images look Photoshopped), but it's compelling nonetheless, with a turbocharged flat-six providing 260 horsepower. We hope someone builds it - though we're sure if that happened the early 911 crowd would cry afoul at one of its increasingly rare and valuable Porsches being grafted onto an old French car.
But as Brandpowder points out lightheartedly, perhaps the creation could transcend popular car culture: "The 911DS represents the effort of two countries, a genuine attempt to join their energy and talent into one thing. We hope Germany and France will be inspired by Brandpowder's story, as a metaphor for a better and greater Europe."
Porsche reveals new Panamera Turbo S ahead of Tokyo debut
Thu, 31 Oct 2013For many buyers in the market for a luxury sports sedan, style is as important as performance. But while the Porsche Panamera undoubtedly delivers in the latter category, it falls somewhat short in the former. Porsche went to some lengths (if not quite far enough for some tastes) to improve its four-door model's visual appeal with the facelift revealed earlier this year, but now it's time to up the performance game with the new Panamera Turbo S.
Set to be revealed at the Tokyo Motor Show in just a few weeks from now, the new top-tier Panamera benefits from several key upgrades over the existing Turbo and the pre-facelift Turbo S. For one, its 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8 now produces 570 horsepower (up from 520 in the new Turbo and 550 in the old Turbo S and the latest Cayenne Turbo S) and 553 pound-feet of torque (up from the current Turbo's 516 but the same as the previous model). Despite the power boost, however, Porsche is quoting the same 3.6-second 0-60 time for the new Panamera Turbo S as it did for the previous one - but then that hardly required improvement in the first place. Top speed, however, is up to 192 miles per Autobahn-blurring hour, two mph faster than the previous model.
Other features include carbon-ceramic brakes (hopefully with more durable bolts than sister companies Lamborghini and Bentley have been using) packed inside the wheels from the 911 Turbo and an exclusive shade of greige called Palladium. And for the first time, customers will be able to order this top-spec model in long-wheelbase Executive trim. But don't expect it to come cheap: MSRP (before delivery and options) is quoted at $180,300 for the standard wheelbase and $200,500 for the stretched model. That's two and a half times the price of a base Panamera, and makes the new Panamera Turbo S Executive both the most expensive and most powerful Porsche your can buy this side of a 918 Spyder. Haven't passed out yet? There's more to digest in the press release, so head on down below to take it all in.
