early 1970s, it was clear that increasingly tough and complicated
emissions and safety regulations were going to change the American
automotive market's landscape. And since America was Porsche's
biggest market, higher-ups reasoned it was only a matter of time
before such restrictions hampered the sales appeal of their 911. By
developing an entirely new Porsche, one with all the latest federal
regulations already incorporated, Porsche hoped to meet the new
standards head on. In the meantime, if the Stuttgart company had to
kill the 911 because of such standards, it would be prepared to
transition. Engineers were given free rein to ""invent"" the newest
Porsche, and plans for the 928 began in October 1971, with a basic
design finalized in 1972. And what a design it was, especially
within the walls of a company that had in its 30-year history built
nothing but cars with a small engine placed behind the driver. But
if America was the target market, a front-engined, rear-wheel-drive
V8 Grand Touring car certainly made sense. The 928 debuted in March
1977 at the Geneva Auto Show, and while Porsche purists bristled at
the thought of such a pedestrian layout, the new car received much
acclaim. The $28,000 928 borrowed no parts from other Porsches, and
its shape was like nothing else--a futuristic design with a low,
wide stance, a long, sloping hood, a sharp nose, and an evenly
rounded rump. ""Telephone dial"" wheels completed the package. At
the time, design head Tony Lapine stated that ""a car which is
liked immediately will not hold up over time."" Porsche had
designed a long shelf life into its latest creation, and at the
same time had handsomely incorporated 5-mph safety bumpers front
and rear. The body made use of collapsible polyurethane pieces over
front and rear hidden bumpers, with aluminum doors, hood, and front
fenders, and steel for the remaining panels. Though now
commonplace, at the time, trying to coat such differing materials
with a uniform paint job was a feat of ingenuity. Beneath the
handsome and complicated skin lay an advanced and well-balanced
powertrain. A 90-degree, all-aluminum, 16-valve, 4.5-liter V8 with
Bosch Continuous Injection System (CIS) fuel delivery produced 219
hp and 254 ft-lb of torque. It was mated to a fully synchronized
rear transaxle with either a 5-speed manual or optional 3-speed
automatic, and weight distribution was nearly perfect at 51%/49%,
front to rear. Suspension was fully independent all around, and
Porsche worked hard to perfect the 928's rear suspension, which
would allow it to accommodate over-aggressive drivers without the
erratic tendencies of snap oversteer. The resulting ""Wei For
