When Porsche debuted the 928 in 1978, it marked a radical departure from the company's established rear-engined dogma. Conceived as a potential successor to the iconic 911, the 928 was a grand tourer designed for comfort, high-speed cruising, and a sophisticated driving experience. Its front-mounted, water-cooled V8 engine, transaxle layout, and sleek, aerodynamic bodywork were revolutionary for the marque, earning it the coveted European Car of the Year award – the only sports car ever to receive such an honor. The first-generation 928, produced until 1982, is particularly significant for its pure design and the bold statement it made about Porsche's vision for the future, a vision that ultimately ran in parallel with the enduring 911. This particular 1978 Porsche 928 represents a coveted first-year example of this groundbreaking model. With just 58,900 miles on the odometer, this automatic coupe presents as a well-preserved driver, ideal for enthusiasts looking to experience the unique blend of luxury and performance that defined the original 928. The seller reports recent comprehensive fluid changes, including oil, transmission, brake, and power steering, ensuring it's ready for the road or local Porsche Club of America events, where it has been a regular participant. This is a chance to acquire an early example of Porsche's audacious grand tourer, a car that masterfully blended Stuttgart engineering with transatlantic style.
