928S
The model
In the early 1970s, Porsche management was convinced that rear-engine cars did not have as bright a future as had been predicted. A sister car to the 911 had to be developed, a front-engined GT for 4 people : the 928.
The emblematic style of the 911 disappeared, giving way to a car with an interminable bonnet and a glass surface worthy of an architect's house. At the front, the headlights are clearly reminiscent of those on the Miura, which was still in production when the 928 was first developed.
The powertrain clearly shows Porsche's ambitions to conquer the American market, with a V8 whose capacity was limited to 4.5 litres by the 1973 oil crisis. The multi-link rear axle was a first for a production car and bore the nickname of Porsche's research centre: Weissach!
The S version of the 928 received a front blade and a rear spoiler, in addition to an increase in engine capacity to 4.7 litres and enlarged brakes.
Presented in fall 1977, the car had been elected "Car of the Year 1978", the first and only GT to receive this award! The 928 marked a new era for Porsche, which wanted to do away with the unique cult of the 911. A model that broke away from the Porsche philosophy that would prevail well into the 90s!
