Porsche 928 GTS '92 1992
General description :
Recently entirely overhauled and timing belt replaced by a Porsche expert Comes with maintenance bills and maintenance booklet Most powerful version of the 928; 5,4 litres V8 power Has set a tone, even for modern Porsches The Porsche 928 is a sporty coupe that was manufactured from 1978 to 1995. Over its seventeen-year career, it delighted many not only with its nearly aesthetically perfect design but also with the impressive features it comes with. Additionally, it boasted unprecedented technology that left everyone baffled when it was released in 1977, earning it the prestigious title of ‘Car of the Year’, the only Porsche ever to have ever achieved this distinction. Beyond being Porsche's first car with a V8 engine, it was also front-mounted and water-cooled, both of which were relatively unusual for a Porsche. To achieve balanced weight distribution, they opted for a transaxle setup with the gearbox located right above the rear axle. This is why the presence of the central console extends all the way to the rear seats. Porsche's main goal was to build the 928 as light as possible. For this reason, the doors and hood were entirely constructed of aluminium, which contributed to its reduced weight. All these factors made the car not just lighter, also it got considerably faster, as Porsche advertised the 928 with the tagline: ‘from zero to a hundred kilometres per hour and back to zero in only ten seconds’. Over the years, the Porsche underwent several facelifts, which typifies Porsche's models. In 1980, the 928 S was introduced, featuring rear and front spoilers for an even better aerodynamics. Seven years later, in 1987, a sportier 928 S4 was released, offering more power, additional options, and overall modernization. The series climaxed with the 928 GTS, which had a larger engine capacity and became the most powerful 928 variant. Reportedly, 70% of all Porsches ever built are still on the roads, and the 928 makes no exception, given its reliability and avant-garde modernity. Porsche 928 GTS The Porsche 928 GTS was built from 1992 to 1995, marking the end of the impressive 928 series. Porsche decided to conclude the series with a bang, introducing the 928 GTS. It shattered the 24-hour speed record of all time, covering a distance of 6,377 kilometres - 3,962 miles - on public roads within 24 hours, averaging over 260 kilometres per hour, or 162 miles per hour. Compared to its predecessor in series, the 928 S4, the GTS boasts a substantial increase of 30 horsepower, with the displacement being upgraded from 5 litres to 5.4 litres in size. The 928 GTS can be seen as a precursor to the Panamera. Prior to the Panamera, the 928 GTS was the last so-called Gran Turismo - or GT - that Porsche built, which is one of the reasons why it has become a coveted classic Technical information: Body work Length (cm): 452 (178 inch) Width (cm): 189 (74 inch) Height (cm): 128 (50 inch) Wheelbase (cm): 250 (98 inch) Weight (kg): 1612 (3554 lbs) Mechanics Engine: 5397 cc V8 front-engine Valve gear: 32 Fuel system: MPI Gear box: 4-speed automatic Transmission: RWD Left-steered power: 350 hp (257 kW) at 5700 t/m torque: 500 Nm at 4250 t/m Top speed: 275 km/h (171 mph)

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.
