Porsche 928
(1977 - 1982)
Car articles about Porsche 928 by year
At the beginning of the 1970s, the 911 era seemed to be coming to an end and a successor had to be developed. In 1977, Porsche presented the 928 and ventured into a new vehicle category, the Gran Turismo. This approach was not understood at the time, but today we know that the idea was right. The realization quickly grew that the concept was Porsche-like through and through and left nothing to be desired in terms of body layout, technology or design. Why the Porsche 928 was nevertheless not really successful and what its strengths and weaknesses were, but in particular how a Porsche 928 drives, is shown in this report, which has been supplemented with almost 100 photos, several sales brochures and audio examples, as well as the original owner's manual.
At the end of the 1970s, car visionary and gourmet Günter Artz had two Porsche 928s fitted with VW Golf bodies. This quite elaborate conversion combined the inconspicuous appearance of a somewhat wide Golf with the driving performance of the top sports car from Zuffenhausen. Both cars have survived and continue to inspire today. This report portrays the second Nordstadt Golf produced with 928 technology and tells the story of the project.
The Porsche 928 was launched with fanfare at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, was the first sports car to win the "Car of the Year" award in 1978 and received positive feedback from all sides. From 1979 onwards, Porsche countered the criticism of insufficient performance and excessive fuel consumption with the more powerful 928 S model. This driving report tells the story of the 928 S and portrays an early model in the snow. The sound sample is also included.
