Styled by American Tony Lapine, Porsche's front-engined, water-cooled, V8-powered 2+2 928 was launched at the 1977 Geneva Salon. Not only was it about as mechanically different from the ubiquitous 911 as it could possibly be, but represented the company's first foray into ‘grand touring’ territory. Nevertheless, it received a rapturous reception from the press and was duly awarded the 1978 Car of The Year Award. Produced between 1992 and 1995, the 928 GTS was the last evolutionary stage of the 928 model, it featured flared rear wings, a red-light panel at the rear, a rear wing painted in exterior colour, exterior mirrors in the Cup design plus 17" Cup rims as standard.
One of only 2,904 GTS examples manufactured, this 928 GTS is offered with just 2 former keepers recorded, the first being Porsche until April 1998. Entered from long-term ownership in the UK and a credible c.103,000km (c.64,000 miles) recorded, there’s a copy of a letter on file from Porsche stating the GTS was sold by them on 30th April 1998 after its use as part of the Porsche factory fleet. Ordered in Polar Silver Metallic, when researched, the car’s codes show this to be a German market left-hand drive GTS ordered with a Light Rootwood steering wheel, side protection mouldings, tinted windscreen, draped leather front and rear and ordered from the ‘Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’-programme. This makes sense, being a car from the factory fleet. On file is a one-year Porsche guarantee card from their 1998 sale of the ‘used’ car.
The GTS is accompanied by a history file that includes the book pack with the stamped service book with 11 stamped entries, including Porsche factory stamps. The timing belt and water pump was carried out at 102,649km (63,783 miles) in April 2012 (invoice on file). It is offered with a book pack with the service book and its 11 stamped entries up to 102,616 (63,762 miles), the driving manual and copies of the German Porsche paperwork and the current V5C.
