Encyclopedic overview
The Porsche 928 is a grand touring car which was manufactured and marketed by Porsche AG of Germany from 1977 to 1995 across a single generation with an intermediate facelift. It is a 2+2 coupé with a rear hatchback. The 928 has a water-cooled engine which is mounted in the front and drives the rear wheels. It was Porsche's first production car with a V8 engine.
Initially conceived to address changes in the automotive market, it represented Porsche's first fully in-house design for a production vehicle and was intended to potentially replace the Porsche 911 as the company's flagship model. The 928 aimed to blend the performance and handling characteristics of a sports car with the comfort, spaciousness, and ride quality of a luxury car. Porsche executives believed that the 928 would have broader appeal compared to the compact, somewhat outdated, and slow-selling air-cooled 911.
