Porsche 928 S 4.7 Liter V8 1983

General description : Description
With fuel-injected V8 power, a well-balanced suspension, and grand touring comfort, this 1983 Porsche 928 S was built from day one with driving in mind. So to find an example that has had the right investments to keep it a sharp driver means you have found a well-priced classic that lives up to your Porsche-level expectations.
The 928's slippery shape gets more daring every year. After all, in a time when we can accuse many modern cars of looking the same, this true classic still has a futuristic vibe. The fold-flat headlights, lightweight aluminum doors, and rounded sheetmetal are a more impressive engineering task than you'll find on many of today's sports cars (and this one only costs a fraction of those!) And with a nice luster on the correct white paint, this Porsche still knows how to show off its unique curves. Plus, the way the upgraded modern 18-inch 20-spoke wheels look so good on this classic is another reminder of its timeless style.
The maroon interior looks quite stylish against the white exterior. The odometer is believed to reflect car's full mileage (averaging under 1,800 miles annually,) and so the less use is reflected in the overall condition. Plush capering, a smooth dash, and clean/complete door panels give this a well-respected look. These 928s gave everyone individual bucket seats, and the maroon leather remains supple, including for the driver. This is loaded with the best features, like power front seats, power windows, power locks, cruise control, a tilt steering column, a Blaupunkt AM/FM/cassette stereo, and a sunroof. Plus, the air conditioning has been recently upgraded to R134a to keep it blowing cold. You'll love slipping behind Porsche's classic flat-top four-spoke steering wheel that gives you a clear view to the full gauge package.
Fans of the 928 know this is a special model. 1983 was the debut of the "S" designation on our shores. This meant a larger and more powerful 4.7-liter V8 under the hood. With an overhead cam design and fuel-injection, these were terrific for everything from getting up quick at the stoplights to having plenty of highway passing power. That's why these were the true grand touring Porsches. And when you want to go near or far, you'll also appreciate that the 1983 model debuted the four-speed automatic transmission. The transaxle setup makes for a wonderfully balanced feeling on the road, and that's exactly where this car belongs. There have been the right investments to really keep this one driving smooth. It includes new motor mounts, the differential re-sealed, and a new alternator. It has also many great driving features, including a fully independent sports suspension, power steering, grippy ZR-rated tires, four-wheel power disc brakes.
Stylish, smooth, and beautifully engineered, this 928 is the kind of car you dreamed of owning, and for a brief time the price puts it within reach. Call today!!!

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.
