The Porsche 928, introduced in 1978, represented a radical departure for a company synonymous with rear-engined sports cars. Envisioned as a potential successor to the 911, the 928 was a grand tourer with a front-mounted, water-cooled V8 engine and a transaxle layout, creating near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. Its sleek, aerodynamic design, penned by Wolfgang Möbius under the direction of Anatole Lapine, was groundbreaking, earning it the European Car of the Year award in its debut year – a first for a sports car. The 928 was a technological showcase, blending luxury, comfort, and performance in a package designed for high-speed, long-distance cruising. This 1980 Porsche 928 emerges from extended ownership, presented in a sophisticated dark grey finish over a tan interior. As a testament to its Californian roots, it still wears its original black and yellow license plate. Power is delivered by a robust V8 engine paired with a smooth automatic transmission, making it an ideal cruiser. The car features desirable period equipment, including a sunroof, Sylvania Halogen headlights, Bosch fog lights, and VDO instrumentation, all contributing to its authentic 1980s Porsche character. This 928 offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a significant piece of Porsche's innovative grand touring heritage.
