Porsche 928 32 valve V8 supercharged 1987
General description :
For sale in our St. Louis showroom is a beautiful 1987 Porsche 928 S4. The odometer reads 98,761, which represents the actual mileage on the car. However, the top end of the engine has covered roughly 5,000 miles. The top end rebuild included a new timing belt, timing belt tensioner, valve job and powder coating of the intake and cam covers. Options for this 1987 Porsche 928 S4 include: Air Conditioning (converted to R134A), AM/FM Radio with Cassette Player and Satellite radio, Lumbar Support, Power Brakes, Power Steering, Power Windows, Power Seats, Power Sunroof, Anti-Lock Brakes, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Leather Interior, HID fog lights, Radial Tires, and Aluminum/Alloy Wheels. The 5.0L V8 engine now features a Raptor Stage 1 Supercharger by 928 Motorsports. This aluminum V8 now produces 456 rear wheel horsepower with its new configuration. A 4-Speed automatic transmission and rear transaxle transfers those horses to the pavement. The original black exterior paint does show some age, but is in good condition, and shines up very well. The original black leather interior shows little signs of wear, which considering its age, is pretty remarkable. The gunmetal gray Kenesis wheels provide a menacing look and a great stance to this 87' 928 S4. Drilled rotors have been employed to keep this supercharged, V8 mammoth in check and on the road. Porsche rolled out the 928 in the late 1970s as their first front engine, V8 grand touring car. Initially the 928 was intended to replace the 911 as the flagship model, but ultimately the two models sold side by side until the mid 1990s when the 928 was discontinued.

About Porsche 928
he Porsche 928 was a grand tourer sports car introduced by Porsche in 1977. While the car was highly regarded for its performance and handling, it's fair to say that it was not the right car for the time of its launch, at least in terms of market demand.At the time of the 928's launch, there was a growing demand for smaller, more fuel-efficient cars due to the oil crisis of the 1970s. The 928 was a large, V8-powered sports car that was not particularly fuel-efficient, and its high price tag made it less accessible to many buyers.
Furthermore, the 928 was also a departure from Porsche's traditional sports car design, featuring a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout instead of the classic rear-engine layout of the iconic 911. While the 928 was highly regarded for its performance and handling, some enthusiasts felt that it didn't quite capture the essence of a true Porsche sports car.
Despite these challenges, the Porsche 928 managed to gain a loyal following over the years, thanks to its combination of performance, handling, and luxury features. The car underwent a number of updates and revisions over its production run, and it remained in production until 1995.
Overall, while the Porsche 928 may have been the wrong car for the time of its launch in terms of market demand, it remains an important part of Porsche's history and a classic example of the brand's commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive design and engineering.
