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.

Hyundai, Porsche top J.D. Power APEAL study
Thu, Jul 24 2014Just as they did in the Initial Quality Study, Porsche and Hyundai have taken the premium and non-premium crown, respectively, for the 2014 J.D. Power APEAL study. This is the tenth consecutive year for that Porsche has been rated the best premium make in the APEAL study, which attempts to figure out how pleased owners are with their purchases. For 2014, it asked 86,000 owners of MY2014 cars to rate their vehicles in 77 different categories 90 days after their initial purchase. The resulting figures were plugged in deliver the APEAL score, which is rated on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average sits at 794 points for 2014, although that's a one-percent decline over last year's rating. In this year's study, premium brands averaged 840 out of 1,000, while non-premium makes average 785. For their part, Porsche netted an impressive 882 points, while Hyundai earned an 804. Interestingly, only four non-premium brands (Hyundai, Ram, Volkswagen and Mini) finished above the industry average for 2014. It's also interesting to see the clear delineation between premium and non-premium brands, with an eight-point gap between the non-premium champ, Hyundai, and the lowest-rated premium brand, Volvo. Porsche and Hyundai weren't the only automakers to take home recognition. Dodge managed to tie Porsche for the most segment awards, with three. The Challenger, Charger and Dart all topped their market. There were a number of two-segment winners, as well, with Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan capturing a pair of segments each. Scroll down for the full press release from JD Power on this year's winners. Automakers Struggle to Impress Owners with Increased Usefulness of In-Vehicle Technologies And Features on All-New and Redesigned Models Dodge and Porsche Each Receive Three Segment-Level Awards; Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Nissan Each Receive Two WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.: 23 July 2014 - Although manufacturers are putting more and more technologies and functionality in their new and redesigned models, satisfaction with these features is not significantly higher among owners of those models than among owners of carryover models, according to the J.D. Power 2014 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) StudySM released today. The APEAL Study, now in its 19th year, serves as the industry benchmark for new-vehicle appeal. Owners evaluate their vehicle across 77 attributes, which combine into an overall APEAL score that is measured on a 1,000-point scale.
Porsche board members facing another ˆ1.8B lawsuit over VW takeover bid
Mon, 03 Feb 2014Back in 2008, Porsche got the bright idea that it could take over Volkswagen in the midst of the worst economic slump since the Great Depression. Ignoring that this was a catastrophic move for the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer that that eventually resulted in it nearly going bankrupt and eventually being taken over by the same company it sought to control, the aftermath has left Porsche Chairman Wolfgang Porsche and board member Ferdinand Piëch in the crosshairs of seven hedge funds that lost out during the takeover and are now seeking €1.8 billion - $2.43 billion US - in damages from the two execs, according to the BBC.
See, investors bet on Volkswagen's share price going down, partially because Porsche said it wasn't going to attempt a takeover. But Porsche was attempting to take over VW, having bought up nearly 75-percent of VW's publicly traded shares. When word broke that Porsche owned nearly three-quarters of VW (which indicated an imminent takeover attempt), rather than go down like the hedge funds bet it would, VW's share price skyrocketed to over 1,000 euros per share, according to Reuters.
Naturally, when you bet that a company's share price is going to drop and it in turn (temporarily) becomes the world's most valuable company, you lose a lot of money, unless you're able to buy up shares before prices jump too much. This led to a squeeze on the stock, which the hedge funds accuse Porsche and Piëch (who are both members of the Porsche family and supervisory board) of organizing.
Porsche opens new HQ, experience center in Atlanta
Thu, May 7 2015Next time you're flying into the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, keep an eye out for some great architecture with sports car racing around it. Porsche just spent $100 million, its largest investment ever outside of Germany, to open a new Experience Center and headquarters on the Northeast corner of the airport. The 27-acre site is designed for both work and play, and it's a Porsche fan's dream. The high point for drivers is the 1.6-mile Driver Development Track. The course includes six distinct sections, like an off-road course to get muddy and the only Kick Plate in North America to practice hanging the car's tail out. When not speeding around, visitors can check out the brand's classic cars on display and some art inspired by those machines. There's also a conference center and a place for fine dining called Restaurant 356. Porsche expects 30,000 people a year to check out the new site. Porsche Cars North America has been headquartered in Atlanta since 1998. However, the new construction puts many of its divisions under one roof, including the people working in financial services and consulting. Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin is visiting One Porsche Drive right now, and reports that the company is also building an experience center in Los Angeles and a flagship dealer in New York. Porsche is also working on experience centers in Le Mans and Shanghai, with plans to expand into Moscow and Istanbul, as well. Get a good look at the whole site in the gallery above.
