Our Take:
- The Porsche 928S was an ambitious departure for Porsche in the '80s. Moving away from their traditional rear-engine design, the 928 featured a front-engine placement, a bit of a shocker for Porsche purists at the time. It was crafted to be a grand tourer, intended to combine the power of a sports car with the comfort of a luxury vehicle—which it did quite successfully.
- The 1985 model is distinguished by its potent 5.0-liter DOHC V8 engine. Capable of producing 288 horsepower, it was quite the powerhouse back in its heyday. The sophisticated LH-Jetronic fuel injection system was cutting-edge technology, aiding in both performance and emissions, and remains a talking point among enthusiasts of classic tech.
- Famed for its pop-up headlights and aerodynamic design, the 928 series was a looker. Those pop-up headlights might remind you of a certain cinematic car—it’s a feature that adds serious charm and nostalgia. And let's not forget the sleek silhouette that made it appear ahead of its time, even to modern eyes.
- Despite high mileage, recent maintenance adds appeal to this particular vehicle. The new timing belt and water pump are crucial for the longevity of this beast, ensuring the V8 runs as smoothly as a well-oiled machine should. Such recent service is a big plus for potential buyers who’re wary of older sports cars needing imminent major work.
