1988 Porsche 928 S4: 33,000 Original Miles From New, Original Paint, Exceptional on 2040-cars
Santa Barbara, California, United States
|
Offered for sale is our beautiful, 33,000 original mile,
mechanically strong, well maintained, two owner 1987 Porsche 928 S4, finished in its original and ceaselessly tasteful Marine Blue Metallic over Grey leather with
offsetting Blue interior panels and carpets. Ordered new by its original owner from
Brian Harris Porsche in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, he would own the car for until
1994, when he sold it to a local business acquaintance. The second owner had
known of the car from new, and the car joined his humble collection. In the
nearly twenty years he owned the car, he rarely put many miles it, and
consequently the original 33k miles showing on the odometer is correct and
documentable via Carfax and the car’s stamped service booklet. When the 928 first hit the showroom floor, it was
absolutely the car to have. As Porsche’s first seriously expensive GT car, the
928 drew the ire of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide upon its announcement. But as
soon as they realized it wasn’t built to replace the beloved 911 (just to compliment
it in an enthusiast’s garage), opinions changed. A big V8 Autobahn bomber, the
928 was far more civilized than the 911, boasting big comfortable seats, power
everything, usually an automatic transmission and all the Star Wars/Reagan era
futuristic design elements that a successful 1980’s man could ask for. From
Cannes to Beverly Hills, if you were somebody you would have walked into a
dealership and bought a 928 S4. Whether making a vacation trip from Milan to
Monaco or Los Angeles to San Francisco on business, the 928 was (and arguably
still could be), the car of choice, providing a wonderful drive quality without
frustrating your wife. It’s a true GT cruiser; extremely comfortable with a V8
that has great torque, making smooth, enjoyable driving effortless.
Furthermore, in following with Porsche’s legendary legacy, the handling is
great and the looks are timeless. The Marine Blue Metallic finish is completely original
and in excellent condition, deep, lustrous and marred only by the most
negligible of imperfections, none of which are significant enough to register
in the pictures. The car’s body is entirely straight, free of dings or evidence
of body work, and all of the panel fits and gaps are consistent and factory
correct. The glass and rubber is excellent original shape, as are the original
alloy wheels. The car’s interior is equally as clean, the navy leather seats and
carpets showing only negligible wear consistent with a well looked after, low
mileage car. The power sunroof, power seats, power windows, power rear hatch
locking device and all of the other electronics work exactly as they should,
and the car retains its original, functional Blaupunkt radio. For that matter,
everything on the car is stock – it hasn’t been modified in any way. The car is also excellent mechanically, feeling like a
tight, well maintained, 33k mile example should. Despite its low miles, the car
was always regularly driven, always garaged and serviced primarily at the
Porsche dealership. It starts effortlessly, producing a low rumble to announce
its 316hp 5.0L V8. It’s smooth through all of the gears, pulling with
incredible force when asked. With its quiet cabin and even drive quality, it’s
very easy to look down at your gauges on the freeway and realize you’re doing
95mph when you assumed you were only a hair over 70. Despite the fact it’s a
front engine V8, it’s still a Porsche and it performs with poise in the canyons
as well as on the freeway. This is an excellent opportunity at one of the finest, lowest mileage 928s on the market. With vintage Porsches appreciating faster than any other marque (save for Ferrari), the outlandish numbers that 356s and 911s have been realizing have made the 928 a legitimate and unique collector’s car. Tasteful colors, excellent condition, low miles, 5.0L engine, clean history – if you’ve been looking for one, it would be hard to find a better example. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us at 805-202-4557. We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the
years have created an eclectic personal collection. We only buy cars that we’d
personally be interested in owning and generally only sell them to make room
for other acquisitions. That time has come for this Porsche (if the price is
right, of course – this isn’t a fire sale). We try to give accurate
descriptions of the cars we’re selling, but we’re enthusiasts, not experts, and
we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our
ability to make sales to other interested parties who have done their proper
due diligence before bidding. For
U.S. buyers a 10% non-refundable deposit is required within 3 days of the
auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end.
Foreign buyers must pay in full within 7 business days of the auction’s end.
Buyer is responsible for shipping, however we’d be more that happy to help with
recommendations and arrangements. The car is listed locally and we reserve the
right to end the auction at any time should it sell prior to auction’s end.
Thanks for your interest. |

Sat, 27 Apr 2013Or at least the world revolves underneath the Porsche Cayman, in the latest video showing off Stuttgart's mid-engine coupe. Porsche put an Easter egg in the world that spins triple-time, a "famous relative" of the Cayman hidden somewhere on the marble planet, and gave a Porsche Martini bag to one of the first 50 people who could point it out.
With more than 300 views there's no chance you'll win the bag, but you can still go on the treasure hunt in the video below.

2015 Porsche Cayenne Turbo S gets faster, more powerful [w/video]
Tue, Jan 13 2015Porsche just isn't letting development of the Cayenne Turbo S cease. The 2014 edition was unveiled at last year's Detroit Auto Show boasting 550 horsepower from the brand's 4.8-liter twin-turbo V8, and it could hit 60 miles per hour in 4.3 seconds to a 175 mph top speed. Those seemed like very impressive specs for an SUV, but only a year later, the German brand has revealed an even more powerful take on its flagship trim in the model lineup. The 2015 Cayenne Turbo S now makes 562 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque from the same V8. The key to seeing such a significant boost in grunt so quickly is that the two turbos are now integral and are located directly in the exhaust manifolds. Porsche's eight-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox still routes power to all four wheels. All of the tweaks let the SUV hit 60 miles per hour in 3.8 seconds and a 176 mph to speed. Stopping should come quite rapidly too thanks to 16.5-inch diameter ceramic brake discs up front with 10-piston calipers. Of course, the Cayenne needs to be able to put that added grunt to good use. Porsche claims that the model can lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in 7:59.74. Comparatively, the 550-hp Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR previously touted its SUV 'Ring lap record with a circuit in 8:14 in 2014. The Turbo S doesn't try hard to show off its added prowess, though. Up front, the bumper and undersides of the door mirrors are done in high-gloss black paint. Meanwhile, the roof spoiler and wheel arches are body color. The 21-inch wheels with black edges provide a little flash, and LED headlights are standard. The interior should be comfy too with black and creme leather and carbon fiber accents. The whole package rings up for $157,300, plus $995 destination and delivery, and US deliveries start in late April. Check it out in Porsche's video below. This content is hosted by a third party.

The new Cayenne Turbo S The top athlete among SUVs At the 2015 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Porsche is also introducing the new Cayenne Turbo S – the top model of the sporty SUV model series. Its re-engineered 4.8-liter V8 biturbo engine now develops 570 hp (419 kW) and 800 Nm (590 ft lb) of torque. A chassis that is tuned for maximum driving dynamics and packs a wide range of control systems also makes the Cayenne Turbo S a genuine top athlete.
