Porsche 928 4.5 Liter V8 1982
General description :
Description
This 1982 Porsche 928 is an affordable European driving machine that's built for grand touring comfort. With V8 power, a five-speed, and an ideal weight distribution, this the affordable head-turner that's also a blast to drive.
The 928 has aged gracefully as it has become a classic in its own right. The smooth and purposeful lines still generate a ton of attention out on the road. They have a commanding presence that's both sleek and wide, which was earned as being the most expensive Porsche in their thoroughbred stable by a wide margin. While this 40-year-old isn't perfect, it still crisply carries all the distinctive elements that was on so many bedroom walls growing up. After all, every time you raise the flush-mounted headlights, people instantly take notice.
The grand touring nature of the 928 means this was the Porsche with the most room for everyone. In fact, all four seats are leather-wrapped buckets to provide the best individual comfort. There are nice features like power windows, power locks, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo. There are also provisions for air conditioning and a power sunroof that will just need servicing to fully function again. Even with a long list of features, this coupe never loses sight of making the driver a priority. You feel it with the high-back bucket seat, long center console, and sports steering wheel on a tilt column to give you a clear view to the large speedo and tach. And that stick shift really lets you dig into the deep tones of the engine.
Under the hood is the proper 4.5-liter motor. The overhead cam V8 provides the best of both worlds as it has a great low-end power for at the stoplights, and yet it sings a high-octane tune to redline like an exotic when you enjoy the car to the fullest. The exhaust note is truly a symphony for the ears that you control all with the proper five-speed manual transmission. The transaxle setup makes for a wonderfully balanced feeling on the road, and that's exactly where this car belongs. It has so many great driving features, including a fully independent sports suspension, power steering, cruise control, and four-wheel disc brakes.
This is the true classic Porsche presented in the all-brown look that just feels perfect for its era. You've dreamed about the 928 for a long time, and right now the Porsche mystique and performance is briefly within reach. Call now!

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.
