Porsche 928 S 5.0 MANUAL gearbox! paint to sample, Sonderwunsc 1986
General description :
Supplied from new by Berkey Cars of Pleasanton, California on the 22nd February 1986. An original ‘blue plate’ car. This is the 2nd generation 928 S with the manual driven, 292 PS (288 bhp), 5.0 V8 engine. Not many manuals went into production. This model is the only sports car that received the ‘Car of the year’ award; its design was well ahead of the times. The front placed aluminium V8 block and with the gearbox situated over the rear or transaxle, it allowed for a better weight distribution. The special rear wheel configuration allowed for the wheels to gently join in the steering in fast cornering. The bonnet, front mudguards and door are all made from aluminium, the bodywork has been fully galvanised. The bumpers are synthetic. Finished in a client specified colour blue, L999, in a wonderful combination with a full blue leather trim. This rather tasty manual Porsche has a sunroof and only done 142,273 miles. The straight bodywork has perfectly fitting body panels. The finish exudes a beautiful lustre. Thanks to the dry Californian atmosphere the original underbody is totally uncorroded. This car comes with the original car wallet containing the original service book and owners manual. In short, this is one fantastic manual 928 S!

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.
