1978: The 928 becomes the first and so far only sports car in the world to be voted Car of the year
1979: Output of the911 increases slightly to 188 bhp/138 kW. The 924
Turbo also comes close to this figure, at 170 bhp/125 kW. With its
technical features remaining unchanged, the 928 sees an increase in
production and sales, the 924remaining Porsche's best seller.
1980: The Porsche 924Carrera GT (210 bhp/154 kW) offers even more power than the 911, the 911 SC now
featuring a 204 bhp/150 kW engine. The 928 remains unchanged, but is joined by the 928 S developing
maximum output of 300 bhp/221 kW from 4664cc.
1982: Porsche extends the range by introducing the 944 based on the
924 but featuring even wider wheel arches and a four-cylinder Porsche
engine (2479 cc, 163 bhp/120 kW)- basically speaking half the
8-cylinder in the 928. The new model has a clear effect on sales of the
924, which start to go down for the first time.
1984: The 1984 model year launched in September 1983 once again introduces the 911 Carrera with an even
larger engine (3164 cc, 231 bhp/170 kW). The Company's success curve points upwards, the 924 and 944
remaining the best-selling models. The 928 S becomes even more powerful, all 911 Carrera models are now
also available in Turbo look.
1985: The 1984 model year launched in September 1983 once again
introduces the 911 Carrera with an even larger engine (3164 cc, 231
bhp/170 kW). The Company's success curve points upwards, the 924
and 944 remaining the best-selling models. The 928 S becomes even
more powerful, all 911 Carrera models are now also available in Turbo
look.
1986: The four-valve Porsche 928 S4 goes into production with
an increase in engine size and power (4957 cc, 320 bhp/ 235
kW). The new range consists of the 924 S/944(2457 cc, 150
bhp/110 kW), the 944 S (2457 cc, 190 bhp/140 kW) and the
944Turbo (2457 cc, 220 bhp/162 kW). The 911 Turbo is also
available in both Targa and Cabriolet guise.
1987: Output of the924 S/944 models increases to 160 bhp/118 kW. The 944 Turbo S (2479 cc, 250bhp/184
kW) rounds off the small model series, the Porsche 928 S4 remains in production without any significant
changes.
1988: The new generation of the 911 comes with the in-house code designation 964.Introduction of the new
model starts with the 911 Carrera 4 featuring four-wheel drive. The 964 series is available first as a coupé, ist
six-cylinder boxer engine featuring double ignition, plus extra size and power (3600 cc, 250 bhp/ 184 kW). The
old series remains in production with the 911 Speedster, strictly a two-seater with an extra-small windscreen.
The Porsche 944 comes with a larger engine (2681 cc) and more power (165bhp/121 kW) and is joined by the
944 Turbo (250 bhp/184 kW). The four-valve power unit of the 944 is increased in size and output to 2990 cc,
211bhp/155 kW. The 944 S2 is available as both a coupé and cabriolet, the 944Turbo receives an all-new
five-speed gearbox.
1989: The 911 is now available with rear-wheel drive as the Carrera 2
coming both as a Targa and Cabriolet. Tiptronic is introduced at the
same time, automatic transmission with a torque converter and four
gears also allowing a sequential gearshift by means of the selector
lever. The large model series is rounded off as of spring 1989 by the
928 GT with even more power (330 bhp/243 kW). The 911Turbo is
dropped from the range, production ceasing in autumn 1989.
1990: The new 911Turbo enters the market in September with a
3299 cc power unit and a slight increase in power (320 bhp/235
kW).
1991: The Porsche 968based in its design on the 928 replaces the
944. Output of the three-liter power unit is boosted to 240 bhp/176 kW.
The 8-cylinder power unit of the Porsche 928 now featured in the GTS
increases in both size and output (5397cc, 350 bhp/257 kW), just as
the 911 Carrera RS competition model also offers a slight boost in
power (260 bhp/191 kW).

Porsche 928
Model History
Designed in 1971 as the eventual replacement for the 911, production of the 928 was delayed until late
1977 as a 1978 model largely due to the coming fuel crisis. As such, it lays claim to the title of first
front-engine, water-cooled Porsche despite the 924's introduction two years before that of the 928. As
prices inflated in the late '80s and into the '90s, sales of the big Porsche fell off leading to its eventual
cancellation in 1995. Only a few hundred GTSs were ever sold in North America.

12.68" rotors with still larger 4-piston calipers.
Over its entire production span, the 928 went through one significant body change. In 1987, the fourth
generation S4 shape was smoothed out for better aerodynamics, given flush tail lights, and a new wing.
Only the nose and tailcap changed. The mechanicals were periodically upgraded, but the layout and all
features remained basically the same. The 5.4 liter GTS even shares the same block with the first 4.5 liter
928 and still had another 0.6 liters of stroke to go in its design. A GTS owner would feel very at home in
the first '78 to roll out of the factory. That says a lot for a design now almost 30 years old.
Strictly speaking, the 928 is more grand touring than sports car. It is fully laden with all the best luxury
features and a big, powerful motor. The S4 is equipped with Porsche's 5.0 liter (303 cid) DOHC,
32-valve all-aluminum V-8 motor. It was built to fly down the autobahn in excess of 140 mph for hours
on end without tiring the driver, but is equally at home on twisty back roads.
Development of the 928 began in late 1971, pre-dating the 924 which was marketed before the 928.
Porsche believed the venerable air-cooled 911 series could not possibly continue indefinately given ever
restricting regulations on noise, emissions and the crashworthiness of rear-engined cars. Also, Porsche
saw a need to fill in the horsepower-driven and lucrative American market, which is where half of all
new car sales were being made (note 1). Powerplants considered for the 928 included a V6 but luckily for
928 enthusiasts an all-aluminum 4.5 liter 16-valve SOHC V8 designed by Porsche became the chosen
powerplant. This engine also featured the world's longest (Gilmer-type and toothed) timing belt in a
production vehicle - it measures nearly 7 feet if laid out.
Testing of the various drivetrain and suspension components were carried out in 911, Mercedes, Opel and
Audi bodies. Porsche engineers went to great lengths during this process, as the donor cars sometimes
had to be chopped, lenghtened or widened to accomodate the 928 drivetrain & suspension. Later
full-scale models and prototypes were given extreme testing in desert tests in Africa, and ice tests
Finland. Crash tests were dutifully recorded with the 928 fairing exceedingly well over and above the
5mph specs of the time (note 3).
The engineers were justifiably proud of their achievements, however, mid-way through the 928
development the first global gas crisis hit. In light of this, the Board of Directors now had to decide
whether or not to continue on 'Projekt 928'. As we now know, development would forge ahead - Porsche
was willing to bet on the V8 platform to carry the marque into the future.
Design of the coachwork took place secretly behind curtains alonside 911 production. Numerous full
scale mockups of that glorius body and cockpit were created and tested for airflow. Nearing completion,
a rolling example was presented to the Board of Directors, who would ultimately make the final design
approval. The selected body style is the original 928 introduced to the world at the Geneva car show of
March 1977 (note 1) and Projekt 928 had finally become the Porsche 928. At it's unveiling the car
stunned the world and was received to critical acclaim and controversy - the 928 was promptly awarded
Car of the Year for it's many innovations such as the aluminum engine block and heads; and the
'Weissach axle" (named in honor of the Porsche R&D center where it was created). The goal of the
Weissach axle was to eliminate lift-throttle oversteer by allowing the rear suspension to actually adjust
itself during cornering manuevers. The Weissach axle is one of the most noted features of the marque and
has been adapted across the model line-up.
Double disc clutch info and torque tube. The 928 battery is attached to the rear transaxle to help dampen
vibration. Thus equipped with a front-engine, rear transaxle layout the 928 has near perfect weight
balance distribution of 50/50 front to rear.
Notable options: 1981 Competition package includes S type front and rear spoilers, sport seats (see next
web section on the 928 S).The main feature of the Euro S model, namely the 4.7 liter V8, would not
make it's U.S. appearance until 1983. A special 928 Weissach edition was available and, similiar to the
911 Weissach edition, featured champagne gold metallic paint, matching brushed gold alloy wheels,
two-tone interior and the extremely collectible three-piece Porsche luggage set. Only 205 such cars were
produced (note 3).
Production was carried out at the factory in Stuttgart - Zuffenhausen, side by side with the 911 cars thus
eliminating any doubt as to the build quality of customer cars. It is interesting to note that even given the
928's pedigree, it has never attained the same reverence as the air-cooled Porsches. Though thoroughly
acknowledged by the press as the best GT car Porsche ever produced, it remains largely unappreciated
except for those in the know, and those who have succumbed to it's unrelenting push toward top
acceleration.

Although no 928 convertibles were available as stock, this car appears to be based off the original 928
series. Note the chrome headlight retaining rings, original style bumper fascia, "phone dial" wheels,
large-Marge side mirrors and non-hidden wiper arms...
There are numerous U.S. 928 S versions:
1981 - 1982 928 - with "Competition" package option. Appears as the Euro 928 S model. Body and interior upgrades . ie.
front and rear spoilers, Recaro sport seats, padded steering wheel, no body rub strips. U.S. cars still have the 4.5 liter
219HP engine to the dismay of enthusiasts lusting after the 300HP Euro S engine. The Competition Group accessory list
did include one very important component for the autocrosser or racer - a limited slip differential. Though not officially
monikered a 928 S by the factory, enough of the goodies were present for it's inclusion here. 1982 base price $38, 850.00
before options. (note 1).
1983 - 1984 928 S 4.7 liter 16-valve engine. Finally a true S model hits our shores, albeit detuned from Euro specs. Slight
increase in displacement brings similiar performance boost to 234HP, although the press and consumers go wild venting
years of pent-up frustration. The new four-speed automatic becomes standard equipment and the five-speed manual
optional. Other standard equipment includes leather seats, power windows, automatic climate control, heated electric
mirrors and a handling package. At 146mph top speed, Porsche boldly claims the 928 S to be "the fastest street legal
prouction car sold in the US". 1984 base price $44,000.00 before options. (note 1).

1985 928 S (Series 3) with 5.0 liter 32-valve 288HP engine. Monikered the 'US smog-special' by the Euro press and
enthusiasts, this car was actually the first to usher in the new 32-valve engines, with Porsche maintaining the more
powerful 16-valve engine for all other markets. This was a giant leap forward for US enthusiasts however and these cars
are very desireable from a powerplant standpoint! The 5-speed transaxle received improved synchromesh design
improving driveabitlity. Top speed is in excess of 155mph! Base price $44,600.00 (note 1), production: 5,356 (note 2).

1986 928 S with 5.0 liter 32-valve 288HP engine. Another special variation, this time with the new big S4 brakes and ABS
standard (check for VIN 1000 or higher). Base price $51,900.00 before optioning (note 1), production 4,617 (note 2). For
afficianados of the original bodystyle, this would be the final year to purchase one new from Porsche!

note: The 928 Club Sport was a non-US version of the 1988 928 S4. The Club Sport featured a lightened
interior and accessory deletions to pare approx. 220 lbs. off the car. Though the engine was reworked, the
factory claims identical power and top speed as the S4. However, the rpm limit was raised from 6000 to
6775 revs and independent testing confirmed the CS outperformed the S4. The 'CS' did receive
suspension upgrades and came with a manual transaxle only. Therefore the Club Sport was almost a
test-market car in preparation for the 1989 928 GT. It also appears there are two distinct CS versions -
Euro vs. UK model. The UK model was a CS but with all luxury items intact ie. radio, AC, etc. and
renamed the 928 SE (note 3). This was done as market data indicated buyer preference for fully equipped
cars for UK sales. A dedicated Club Sport page will be included here in the future. If you find one in the
US and can verify it's authencity with Porsche (don't be fooled by just the Club Sport stickers on the front
fenders) - buy it! It will undoubtedly be the only one in this country...
In 1989, Porsche ups the ante again, this time delivering a 'serious sporting machine for the solvent'. The GT is a special version featuring a
revised 5.0 liter 330HP V8, sport suspension and all new seven-spoke Club Sport rims (note 1), the rears the widest yet from Porsche
measuring 16 x 9" wide. As such, the GT comes only with a manual trans. Visually imperceptible but an improvement functionally, the
shiftrod is shortened 1" from the manual S4. Driver and passenger-side airbags introduced and Porsche becomes the first to make them
standard across the model line. New low-pressure tire warning system is standard.
From 959 technology, the 928 GT is fitted with an electronically controlled liminted slip differential. The LSD has a progressively lockable
multiplate clutch installed with the rear differential (note 2). A computer monitors wheelspin and clutches the affected wheel. Also new is a
tire pressure warning system utilizing a pair of sensors integrated into each wheel. The wheels themselves made a change from the original
Club Sport wheel in model year 1989 to the forged Design 90 style beginning in 1990.

* the engine s/n from the PCA tables have been omitted so that we may verify them with Porsche. If your need is immediate please
purchase the tech spec booklet. other note: peak hp has been recorded at slightly higher rpm value of 6200 rpm. This page will be
corrected...
note: 928 GTs were available beginning with model year 1989.
Barring any original car documentation which denotes serial numbers, the
only way to authenticate a GT will have to come from the Certificate of
Authencity ie. the cardex info. (This will rule out any creative engine/trans/dash swaps).
Code 639 or 637, denoting GT, may not always appear on the build sticker in the trunk for
some reason (it doesn't on my GT and a few others have responded same
here on porschefans). The presence or lack of code 474, sport
suspension, is no indicator as well (my black Boge equipped car lacks
this also !?!).
So, what the cardex will tell you (from my experience with the 1990
model) is:
VIN
Engine serial number (ex. 85L00855 - all GT engines begin with 85)
Trans serial number (ex. 3L00788)
Paint code (ex. Baltic blue metallic C7C7)
Interior code (ex. Silk Grey Leather, Blue Leather, Leatherette QQ)
Optional equipment
and curiously enough... the 928 GT is identified by Porsche only as "928 S4"
This same anomaly may apply to Club Sport / SE editions as well.
For those in the field shopping right now, verifying engine code M28.47
and trans code G28/55 (note these are 'type' not serial numbers) is a fairly
safe bet that you are indeed looking at a real GT, but again, only the factory
cardex will provide the serial numbers.
"... the 928 is an impressive luxury automobile... the 928 is not only
the fastest Porsche, but also one of the fastest production-built GTs
in the world..." Road and Track, 1992
"...in the GTS Porsche still has the best driver's car in the Grand
Tourer market..." Performance Car, 1992
Introduced mid-year in 1992 as a 1993 model. Displacement was increased again to 5.4 liters yielding the
most powerful 928 engine from Porsche - 345HP. Recall that the original 928 engine was designed back
in 1971 to accomodate 5.5 liters from the factory - so at model year 1993 there still remained one more
displacement increase. If only production had not stopped in 1995!
The 928 GTS is essentially a further hotted-up version of the '91 - '92 928 GT (note 1). However the
shock valving was softened up to provide a more compliant ride. Both the manual and automatic
transaxles were refined to handle the GTS' increased power outputs. Rear fenders had integrated flares for
a 2.7" wider track (note 1) as the wheel size was now 17 x 9 inches running 255/40 ZR 17's (fronts
225/45 ZR 17's). Three point safety belts were standard for not only the front passengers but the
occasional rear passengers as well and are sure to be put to good use each time this icon is driven! A
reflective strip was mounted between the tailights which visually reduced the size of the rear fascia as
well as provided for an extra safety margain in visibilty for following drivers.
The Porsche electronically controlled limited-slip continues, as well as ABS option. Brakes were
upgraded to a massive 12.68 inches vs. 11.97 previously. Brembo 4-piston calipers squeeze those rotors
with authority and the entire setup is coined 'GTS brakes' by enthusiasts - many of whom are busy
upgrading their earlier cars to this latest 928 standard.
The 928 GTS represents the pinnacle of the 928 series and garners respect in automotive circles
worldwide.
