When Porsche first unveiled the 928 in 1977, it represented a radical departure from the rear-engined, air-cooled orthodoxy that defined the brand. Conceived as a potential successor to the 911, the 928 was a sophisticated grand tourer, blending luxurious comfort with genuine sports car performance. Its transaxle layout, with the engine up front and the transmission at the rear, achieved near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, delivering a driving experience unlike any other Porsche. The 928 S4, introduced in 1987, was a significant evolution, refining the original concept with updated styling, improved aerodynamics, and a substantially more powerful engine, solidifying its reputation as a high-speed continent-crusher. This 1987 Porsche 928 S4, showing 67,872 miles, stands as a prime example of this model's refined capabilities. Under the hood lies the potent 5.0-liter 32-valve V8 engine, producing a robust 316 horsepower, a substantial increase over earlier 928 iterations. Crucially for enthusiasts, this power is channeled through the highly sought-after 5-speed manual transmission. While automatic transmissions became increasingly common in later 928s, the manual gearbox offers a more engaging and connected driving experience, making this particular S4 a rare find. This car represents an opportunity to acquire a true grand touring icon, combining Porsche engineering with an exhilarating manual driving experience.
