The Porsche 928, a radical departure from the company's rear-engined dogma, was conceived in the early 1970s as a potential successor to the 911. Its front-engine, rear-transaxle layout created a near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, delivering a grand touring experience unlike any Porsche before it. The S model, introduced in 1980, significantly upped the performance ante, culminating in the late-production 1986 "S3" for the North American market, which featured a potent 4.8-liter V8 engine. This generation, with its distinctive pop-up headlights and expansive glass hatch, blended high-speed autobahn cruising with surprising agility, earning it the European Car of the Year award in 1978 — a testament to its groundbreaking design and engineering. This particular 1986 Porsche 928 S, a testament to Stuttgart's vision, presents in a striking black finish over a matching black interior, having covered 91,199 miles. Power comes from its original 4.8-liter V8 engine, paired with a smooth automatic transmission, making it an ideal candidate for comfortable long-distance travel or spirited weekend drives. The cabin benefits from new front and rear Porsche floor mats and a refreshed rear deck carpet, enhancing its premium feel. This late-production 928 S represents a compelling opportunity to own a piece of Porsche's innovative grand touring heritage.
