History

At the presentation of the 928, the design polarized opinion: some observers praised the clarity of the lines, others found them “atypically German”. A special feature was the retracted C-pillar at the rear and the curved rear side windows. The Porsche designers took up an idea that Richard Teague had first realized in 1975 with the AMC Pacer. The design of the 928 was influential. In the following years, it served as inspiration for various manufacturers for their own models.

The 928S4 presented here is available with all its documents, was first delivered by AMAG Switzerland in 1989, was regularly driven until 2014 and was fully serviced. This 928 was then kept in a collection for 8 years before it was added to the Goodtimer collection. This S4 drives like a new car with all its modern functions such as ABS, automatic air conditioning, electric seat adjustment with memory and heating, sound system, electric tailgate with fold-down function and much more.

The Porsche 928 is on its way to establishing itself as the classic car of the future. Over the past 35 years, this luxurious and powerful sports car has covered an average of just over 3,000 kilometers per year and passed the veteran's test for the first time in January 2022 without any faults.

Bodywork and paintwork 

The bodywork is absolutely undamaged and the gaps and add-on parts are in excellent condition. The paintwork was professionally refurbished and wax-sealed in summer 2024.

Interior    

The interior of this example is in a rarely seen fabric and leather combination and in immaculate condition. The dashboard trim has been repaired with genuine leather in areas exposed to the heat. All instruments are intact and function perfectly.

Engine and mechanics 

The original inspection booklet is available and documents the service care of this 928 S4. The engine and emission values of the Gran Tourismo equipped with a catalytic converter correspond to the factory specifications and are MFK-compliant. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and the brakes were overhauled in 2024.

Chassis   

Chassis and brakes show perfect values on the test bench. The underbody is undamaged, unwelded and in its factory-preserved condition.

Driving experience 

The Porsche 928 is a real Grand Tourismo, this S4 drives like a new car with all its modern functions such as ABS, automatic air conditioning, electric seat adjustment with memory and heating, sound system, electric tailgate with fold-down function and much more.

The car is extremely directionally stable and is easy and relaxed to drive. The V8 propels the 1600 kg family coupé light-footedly up to over 250 km/h.

Recommendation 

The Porsche 928 is a solid value in the classic car sector. Its special body and powerful engine had little to do with Porsche's 911 culture, which also caused resistance at the time. Comfort, long-distance capability, spaciousness and reliability won out in the end, making the 928 a collector's car of the future.

This extremely well-maintained example still exudes the scent and ambience of the late 1980s.
