Highlights
A Revolutionary Porsche

Introduced for the 1978 model year, the Porsche 928 represented a radical departure from the company's traditional rear-engined sports cars. Developed as a sophisticated high-performance grand tourer, it combined long-distance comfort with the speed and handling expected from a Porsche.

Front-Mounted V8

At the heart of the original 928 lies a naturally aspirated 4.5-liter V8 engine. Its smooth power delivery, strong torque, and refined character made the 928 ideally suited to effortless high-speed touring.

Transaxle Engineering

Porsche positioned the engine at the front and the transmission at the rear, creating a transaxle layout that provided excellent weight distribution and contributed to the car's remarkably balanced handling characteristics.

Groundbreaking Design

With its low nose, integrated bumpers, distinctive pop-up headlights, large glass rear hatch, and muscular rear haunches, the 928 looked unlike almost anything else on the road. Its futuristic shape became one of the most recognizable Porsche designs of its era.

European Car of the Year

The 928 received the prestigious European Car of the Year award in 1978, becoming the first Porsche—and the first sports car—to achieve the honor, highlighting the significance of its engineering and design.

Grand Touring Performance

Rather than creating a stripped-down sports car, Porsche engineered the 928 to combine performance with refinement. Its spacious cabin, sophisticated suspension, powerful V8, and high-speed stability made it an exceptional long-distance GT.

Ahead of Its Time

The 928 incorporated numerous advanced engineering solutions, including extensive use of aluminum components and the innovative Weissach rear axle, designed to improve stability and handling during demanding driving.

A Porsche Icon

Although fundamentally different from the 911, the 928 developed its own identity and remained in production for nearly two decades. Today, early examples are increasingly appreciated for their distinctive styling, innovative engineering, and unmistakable 1970s character.

Technical Precision

Accurate dimensional layouts inspired by classic engineering schematics highlight the vehicle's distinctive proportions, innovative engineering, and unmistakable grand touring presence.
