of Porsche's grand tourer, the 928, has landed at MotoeXotica
Classic Cars that we are selling for a local client. We're pleased
to offer this 1984 Porsche 928S. Manufactured in July 1983 at
Porsche's Stuttgart, West Germany factory, this car left the line
with the following options - wider (21mm) rear axle track, rear
package box, electrically adjustable front passenger seat,
graduated tinted windshield and green side glass, high-fidelity
sound system, alarm and without compressor, tire gauge, rear fog
lamps and ID plate. Finished in an exotic dark purple, the car's
paint and trim are in satisfactory shape, with minor imperfections.
The car's back window also features a rear defroster and
wiper/washer. The 928's lights, including its pop-up headlights,
are clear and intact. The car's bodywork is in overall great
condition, the engine bay is in satisfactory condition, the cargo
area is in fair shape while the integrated bumpers are in decent
order. Under the hood is Porsche's 4.7L 16-valve SOHC V-8 with
Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection and Bosch EZF ignition with dual
distributors and the motor is backed by a four-speed automatic
transmission and a 2.20:1 rear end. Driver convenience features
include automatic climate control, power steering, power four-wheel
disc brakes and cruise control. The A/C blows, but not cold, most
likely in need of a charge. This 928 rolls on Dunlop radials, size
225/45R17 in front and 255/40R17, and each tire is wrapped around a
factory, five-spoke chrome wheel. The tires and wheels are in
satisfactory order. Inside, the car's black leather interior is in
overall satisfactory shape, from the front buckets and the rear
foldable demi-buckets to the carpet and headliner and driver seat
shows wear. The factory four-spoke steering wheel faces the driver.
The inner door panels and instrument panel echo the rest of the
interior's theme. The center console and shift lever are also in
decent order. The dash has some cracks under the cover. Rounding
out the interior is a JVC AM/FM stereo with CD player. From 1980
(1983 in North America) through 1986, front and rear spoilers were
present on "S" models, rear spoilers being integrated into the
hatch. The right rear tail light is currently inoperable. The 928
featured a large, front-mounted and water-cooledV-8 enginedriving
therear wheels Originallydisplacing4.5 L and featuring asingle
overhead camshaft design, Porsche upgraded the engine from
mechanical to electronicfuel injectionin 1980 for US models,
although power remained the same. This design marked a major change
in direction for Porsche (started with the introduction of
thePorsche 924in 1976), whose cars had until then used only rear-
or mid-mountedair-cooledflatengines with four or six cylinders.
Porsche utilized atransaxlein the 928 to help achieve 50/50
front/rear weight distribution, aiding the car's balance. Although
it weighed more than the difficult-to-handle 911, its more neutral
weight balance and higher power output gave it similar performance
on the track. The 928 was regarded as the more relaxing car to
drive at the time. It came with either a five-speeddog leg manual
transmission, or aMercedes-Benz-derived automatic transmission,
originally with three speeds, then with four-speed from 1983 in
North America and 1984 in other markets. More than 80 percent had
the automatic transmission. Exact percentage of manual gearbox cars
for entire production run is believed to be between 15 and 20
percent. The body, styled by Wolfgang M�bius under guidance of
Anatole Lapine, was mainly galvanizedsteel, but the doors, front
fenders, and hood werealuminumin order to make the car more
lightweight. It had a substantialluggagearea accessed via a
largehatchback. The newpolyurethaneelasticbumperswere integrated
into the nose and tail and covered in body-coloredplastic; an
unusual feature for the time that aided the car visually and
reduced itsdrag. Porsche opted not to offer aconvertible variant
but several aftermarket modifiers offered convertible conversions,
most notably Carelli, based in Orange County, CA. The Carelli
conversions were sold as complete cars, with the conversion
doubling the price of the car. A reported 12 units were made. The
928 qualified as a2+2, having two small seats in the rear. Both
rear seats could be folded down to enlarge the luggage area, and
both the front and rear seats had sun visors for occupants. The
rear seats are small (due to the prominent transmission hump) and
have very little leg room; they are only suitable for adults on
very short trips or children. The 928 was also the first vehicle in
which the instrument cluster moved along with the
adjustablesteering wheelin order to maintain maximum instrument
visibility. The 928 included several other features such as the
"Weissach Axle," a simple rear-wheel steering system that provides
passive rear-wheel steering to increase stability while braking
during a turn, and an unsleeved, silicon alloy engine block made of
aluminum, which reduced weight and provided a highly durable
cylinder bore. Bosch ABS brakes were also optional in 1984, another
first. Porsche's design and development efforts paid off during the
1978European Car of the Year,where the 928 won ahead of theBMW 7
Series, and theFord Granada. The 928 is the onlycarso far to have
won this competition, where the usual winners are
mainstreamhatchbacksandsedans/saloonsfrom
majorEuropeanmanufacturers. This is regarded as proof of how
advanced the 928 was, compared to its contemporaries. Competition
to this Porsche in 1984 included Audi's Quattro, BMW's 633CSi,
Chevrolet's Corvette, Jaguar's XJ-S, Lotus' Esprit S3,
Mercedes-Benz's 380SEC, Nissan's 300ZX and Toyota's Supra. VIN:
