The Model: With the birth of the 928 Porsche, this rags-to-riches
sports car maker entered the world of V8 engine production. While
some critics of the day expressed displeasure over the size and
bulk of this new Porsche, plenty of dedicated customers lined up to
purchase and experience this totally new machine. What they found
was a peppy touring coupe, more at home on the wide-open autobahn
or a straight shot through the desert than on a twisty-turny road
course. When the car was first introduced it had plenty of room for
improvement, and when the 928S was introduced in 1983, it brought
the car to a whole new level of appreciation. Higher horsepower,
retuned suspension, better handling and more creature comforts made
the "S" superb. The 928 family of fine Porsches saw 18 years of
production, not a bad lifespan for any model. Described at the
perfect Grand Tourer, especially in parts of Europe where 120 MPH
can be driven at all day long and legally, it will car two adults
and a week's worth of luggage with ease.
The Car: If this is the first 928S you will ever climb into the
driver's seat of, you are sure to be taken by the large controls
that are at your finger-tips. Lights, air-conditioning, power
windows, all at your beck and call. There is even a button for the
luggage compartment, and this is available to both the driver and
passengers. This example has been enjoyed and used quite a bit, but
appears not to have been abused. According to the consignor, the
mileage is from new and this is an untouched original example. The
factory black paint and black leathers seats are the same as when
assembled at Zuffenhausen. This was a factory USA spec car where it
was sold new, but has lived a major part of its life in the car of
a Porsche aficionado in Mexico, where it was rarely used. One of
the few upgrades to this car is the addition of an Alpine sound
system with AM-FM radio and a CD player. Fitted with its original
slotted alloy wheels, there is probably no way finer to explore the
United States than in this double-black beauty.
