When Porsche introduced the 928 in 1978, it marked a radical departure from the company's rear-engined tradition. Conceived as a potential successor to the 911, the 928 was a sophisticated grand tourer, powered by a water-cooled, front-mounted V8 engine driving the rear wheels. Its transaxle layout, with the transmission at the rear, achieved near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, contributing to its exceptional balance and handling. The "S" designation, introduced in 1980, brought increased power and performance, solidifying its status as a high-speed continent-crusher. The 928's distinctive styling, with its pop-up headlights and integrated bumpers, earned it the European Car of the Year award – a first for a sports car. This 1987 Porsche 928S exemplifies the model's enduring appeal, presenting in its iconic Guards Red over a classic black interior. Showing a remarkably low 71,534 original miles, this automatic example has received a fresh, deep Guards Red respray, restoring its exterior luster to factory-new brilliance. While carrying a Restored Salvage Title due to prior cosmetic rear bumper damage, the seller notes no structural or frame issues, ensuring it tracks straight and true. With its notorious electronic, fuel, and cooling items already addressed, this grand tourer is poised for its next chapter. For the discerning enthusiast, this 928S represents a compelling opportunity to experience Porsche's revolutionary front-engined V8 in a striking, well-maintained package.
