Porsche 928 S4

The vehicle in detail

The Porsche 928 was a hit wrote the automotive press! The public and experts alike were enthusiastic when it made its debut in 1977, and quite incidentally the 928 picked up the title “Car of the Year 1978”. But he had a problem: he wasn't a 911.

But others are to blame for this, for example those who seriously thought at Porsche that the front-engined eight-cylinder could replace the air-cooled 911 in the medium term, primarily the then CEO Ernst Fuhrmann.

By today's standards, the eight-cylinder Porsche is almost a delicate lightweight. It doesn't matter to the aluminum eight-cylinder, thanks to the 320 hp of the S4 evolution stage, it has no trouble with the 1.6-ton 2+2-seater. Acceleration and top speed are still impressive, as is the ease with which this flat, wide car blasts along.
