Porsche’s design and development efforts paid off in the late 70s when their vehicle won European Car of the Year, beating out mainstream hatchbacks and sedans from major European manufacturers. Porsche was also notable in winning this accolade that is usually reserved for luxury vehicles.
In 1985, Porsche upgraded the North American 928 S with a new 5.0 L SOHC engine boasting four valves per cylinder and producing 215kW (292 PS or 288hp). A number of interior changes were also implemented into this update.
For the 1989 model year, a digital trip computer was introduced as part of its dashboard features. Furthermore, a GT version of the car made its debut, replacing both CS and SE models; equipped with more equipment than either but less than S4, to keep weight down as much as possible; featuring a ZF 40% limited-slip differential and available only with manual transmissions.
In 1984, Porsche provided an all-aluminum prototype 928S to the Brumos racing team in England for use during the 24 hours of Daytona. Drivers Richard Attwood (GB), Vic Elford (GB) and Howard Meister (USA) were instructed not to make modifications of any kind as Porsche wanted to showcase its performance capabilities; nonetheless, Brumos modified suspension components as needed in order to improve handling performance.

Rear Spoiler
From its introduction in 1978 through production’s end in 1995, Porsche’s 928 was one of the most technologically advanced cars ever created. Its aluminum body was specifically engineered to be as light and strong enough to withstand impacts at up to 8 km/h (5 mph). Even more impressively, special plastic bumpers integrated into its wings could withstand impacts without incurring damage if one was collided into by another vehicle.
Porsche further reduced the weight of the 928 by including a rear spoiler designed to generate downforce and provide aerodynamic benefits at high speeds. Furthermore, this was one of the first cars with a computerized air conditioning system which automatically adjusted fan speed depending on temperature changes.
The Porsche 928 was an uncommon model, as it did not follow in the same hardline sports car tradition of its predecessors (such as the 911). Instead, its focus was more on comfort and gadgets than outright performance; a significant departure for an automaker that had only produced pure sports cars previously. As such, this led to great success on grand touring markets but failed to become an effective contender on racing tracks.
Over its 18-year production run, the Porsche 928 underwent numerous changes that rendered it more luxurious and refined. For instance, its battery box was now integrated within its body for increased space under the front bonnet; and Bosch EZF ignition system with dual distributors enabled engine compression ratio to rise up to 10.4:1.
Porsche 928s offered various packages and options, as well as special edition models made to commemorate special moments in company history. 141 “50th Jubilee” cars were produced to mark 50 years since Porsche company founding, featuring meteor metallic paint with wine red leather seats adorned with meteor metallic stripes; additionally these cars featured wider front fenders than regular 928 models. Porsche Exclusive even tried out an idea for hidden pop-up headlights in one clay model model before abandoning it without going into production stage.
Side Skirts
Side skirts are designed to accentuate the curve of the body while also making your car appear more aggressive. There is a range of styles and options to select from; ultimately the choice depends on you and your personal taste. But the key factor should always be quality over quantity as an inferior kit may cause issues in the future.
Porsche made a bold move when they released their 928 grand tourer; not only was it their first rear-engined car ever made but passenger comfort and gadgets were top priorities as well. Recessed pop-up headlights and large expanses of glass designed to give an appearance of futuristic sleekness were added features to further distinguish it.
Initial sales were disappointing as it was so dissimilar from what Porsche fans were used to seeing from them, however Porsche eventually made changes that appealed to more buyers and sold the 928 with an automatic transmission as one of its more mainstream offerings. Thanks to its powerful V8 and long list of standard equipment features, this car became one of the most reliable and luxurious in its class.
Porsche introduced their S4 variant in 1986, featuring a larger 5.0-litre 32-valve engine as an optional upgrade on European markets and commonly referred to in North America as S3. These vehicles proved more reliable than their European 4.7-litre counterparts and bore the badge “V8 4C 32V”.
Later, Porsche released an even lighter 928 model known as the Club Sport which was more cost-effective than the S4. It featured wider 8-front and 9-rear forged wheels, upgraded tyres, reduced suspension and an aggressive weight reduction program.
In 1992, Porsche released their final 928 model: the GTS. Equipped with a powerful 5.4-litre V8, its front and rear bumper were different as were its headlights; loaded examples could exceed $100K. Buyers found the car popular as approximately 80 per cent were sold with automatic transmissions due to its powerful engine.
