Shmidt.Art - Porsche - Porsche 928 Grand Tourer 1978 - 2020s

A premium technical automotive poster dedicated to the Porsche 928 — the bold 1978 grand tourer that moved Porsche beyond tradition with a front-engine V8, transaxle architecture, and unmistakable 1970s futuristic design.

This portrait A1 artwork presents the Porsche 928 in a refined blue finish with warm tan interior accents. The composition combines a large three-quarter illustration with front suspension drawings, front and rear axle studies, multiple vehicle views, a detailed V8 engine illustration, wheel specifications, and complete dimensional references.

Engineered Beyond Tradition

The Porsche 928 was created as a new interpretation of the Porsche grand tourer. Its long, low nose, smooth aerodynamic bodywork, pop-up headlights, wide glasshouse, integrated bumpers, and rounded rear profile gave it a character completely distinct from the traditional 911.

Water-Cooled V8 Performance

At the centre of the poster is the 4.5-litre water-cooled V8. The detailed engine illustration highlights the broad V8 architecture, intake system, exhaust manifolds, accessory drive, and mechanical layout that defined Porsche’s approach to high-speed grand touring.

Advanced Chassis Architecture

The poster places strong emphasis on the Porsche 928’s suspension and rear axle. The front suspension drawing and rear-mounted rear axle study reveal the car’s carefully engineered chassis, designed to provide stability, balance, and confident high-speed handling.

A Grand Tourer with Sports-Car Proportions

Although designed for long-distance performance, the Porsche 928 retains a distinctly athletic stance. Its low roofline, long bonnet, short overhangs, frameless-style glass surfaces, and integrated rear spoiler create a streamlined silhouette with a strong technical presence.

Precision in Every Detail

The technical drawings show how the 928 combines comfort-oriented grand touring design with serious mechanical engineering. The 5-speed manual gearbox, rear-wheel drive, independent suspension components, and wide alloy wheels reinforce its position as a driver-focused high-speed GT.
