Lot details Registration No: KNN928V Chassis No: 92A0810806 Mot Expiry: None
Introduced at the 1977 Geneva Motor Show, the 928 was conceived (and priced) as the flagship of the Porsche range. A luxurious GT, it was styled in-house by American Tony Lapine as a replacement for the ageing, compromised 911. Ultimately, it failed to usurp its tail-heavy sibling despite becoming the only sports car ever to win the European Car of the Year title in 1978. Built around a galvanised steel monocoque, it made extensive use of aluminium for its wheels, doors, bonnet, transaxle housing, front suspension wishbones, rear suspension uprights, upper links and main cross member. This practice not only saved weight but also contributed to the car's near perfect 49:51 weight distribution. Blessed with excellent handling and strong roadholding, the 928 was able to make the most of the 240bhp and 257lbft of torque provided by its all alloy 4.5 litre SOHC V8 engine. Available with either manual or automatic transmission in its award winning passive rear steer Weissach transaxle, the 928 was subject to a programme of continual upgrades.
Finished in black with beige leather upholstery, this left-hand drive 928 was imported from California three years ago. Subsequently UK registered, it has not been used on the road since its last MOT certificate expired in January 2004. Described by the vendor as having fair paintwork with good engine, automatic gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, bodywork, chassis and wheels / tyres, it is offered for sale with V5 registration document.
