Not just one of the best Porsches ever built, but one of the best automobiles ever

To this day no other car sounds like a 928 starting up.

funny ,this car still feels exotic today ,this video is like watching someone from a different future using a time machine .

I have always liked the early models than the later ones because I just love the rear lights

you see how great the car has aged when you see it on the road today, but you see here in the video, it made everything around it look dated. great car.

One of the best Porsche ever built. Its exterior design is always and actually not old-fashioned.

I miss the early 80s, had the time of my life. Today sucks absolute ass in comparison.

The 928 has to be one of the greatest automobiles ever made. It never fit the Porsche mold so it never really got the respect it truly deserves on the world stage. I believe if an unknown German company built the exact car, it would have more respect. When it came out it just was not what a Porsche was supposed to be so lots of people discounted it. That is sad but good at the same time because enthusasts can get a world class car for average car prices.

The best Porsche ever made....

Ever since I saw the 928 in Weird Science as a kid, I became almost obsessed with it. I used to ogle my neighbor's 928 almost all day, and when I wasn't doing that, I would study the Chilton 924/928 manual cover to cover. I used to read Excellence magazine all day at school. And I still want nothing more than a 928 S4.

Most amazing thing is it's from the 70's. Imagine seeing one of these then!

best looking porsche

all sport cars should have commercials like these.

that design was ahead of its time

Who wouldn't want to live like this

Even in 2023 she's still so beautiful and futuristic first saw and fell in love with the 928 in Scarface not a huge fan of 911s but 928 omg class beauty power and refinement all in one ☺️😍

Brilliant! The most beautiful car ever.

my dream car

Always loved this car!!! My uncle had one when I was a kid, and loved it when it was in the movie Scarface.

i could watch this all day

Very underrated car-------but I like it that way.

man. just slap on a set of nice wheels and tires. and that thing will turn heads even more than it already does. i'd love one of those.

My dad has 928 GTS. It's awsome!!!

My favorite car

Frog eyes, yep. You learn to love them. And take comfort in the fact that you only have to see them from the back...... and you still get the fun of hitting the button and watching them pop up.

wow, this is fascinating. The car is so old, yet very modern as well. Even in the design, you just dont see many cars from the early eighties that still look like they could be sold today. Much better looking than the Cayenne, Cayman, or Panamera, hell, even better looking than a modern 911 with all the go fast bits porsche now sticks on them. This video is so weird. I am guessing Porsche delivered this piece to country clubs on Beta Max. Thanks for posting!

96k (3k I put on over this almost 2 years) and recently did nearly did everything the dealership would have done for the 100k miles maintenance job. Put a bit of money into her in that way but shes never broken down and worst thing to happen was a leak from the gas tank which has been properly sealed. More than happy with her.

I delivered newspapers as a kid and was nearly run over by a beautiful teal coloured 928 on a sunny Sunday morning in 1979! It was common for kids to ogle any supercar that passed through our poor neighbourhood only huge engraved ‘PORSCHE’ name on the rear bumper gave it away. I was already a fan of the 911 because of its stunning Le Mans 24H performances. so I knew 4this was a car like no other. This was how my love affair with the 928 began. I the car of my dreams 23 years later, a gorgeous jet black 928 S4. Some years she could be a high maintenance mistress, but for many years a faultless long distance gentleman’s carriage and companion. A 928 really is more than a car as they say in this excellent promotional video. I still check the National car registry to see if she’s still on the road and I’m pleased that in 2022 she still gives its new owners pleasure’s over 30 years since she was born, a testament to Porsches formidable engineering quality ❤️🙏🏽

Oh Christ, Porsche is a two syllable word.

I got one, an 1986.5 928 red one, awesome exotic sports car!

nice car still is in 2015 Porsche forever!

Oh my god i have to have one

4m48s? anti corrosion warranty? I have owned a 1989 928GT, it has covered 280,000 KM & has never needed welding,nor does it need any now. Bought in Bristol 2004 & I have just driven around the far north of Scotland averaging 27MPG, (10.4L @100KM). Nothing about these cars is hugely expensive unless you get the franchised dealer to do the clutch. This one was a bit awkward on the single track roads though, & the only "disaster" I have suffered has been a front wheel bearing. Not bad at all!

Hah, I forgot that I had written that. I actually owned a Porsche 944 at the time I wrote that, or I had just sold it. I had a 1984 Porsche 944, paid $1600, dumped $7000 into it, and sold it for $2000. Loved it... but there's something about the styling (interior, etc) of the older late 70s Porsche 928s.

There is No Substitute.

this film reminds me of 'trading places' w/ eddie murphy & dan aykroyd

As the top-commenter said, it still looks modern and clean. I also agree with the other user who said that the later versions didn't look as good, the GTS looks bloated. As for the video demonstration, the bumper bit make me think it looked a bit cheap, but I guess back then such bumper design was the most innovative way of complying with US crash standards without making them bumpers look ugly. I wish I could have one of these. Problem is that maintenance costs are sky high.

Mine is still is pristine shape body wise and if not for living in Wisconsin and needing a preventive sealant under the car, its still looks nigh under perfect. Bought it from the original owner and couldn't be more impressed with how well it was taken care.

wow the whole dash is adjustable with the steering wheel? that's insane

I have an '85 928S3 and love it.

Fancy leaving your golf trolley on the course ! Joking apart a beautiful car even today. I saw my first one in the south of France in 1980 and it looked as if it was from mars crowds flocked round it.

I have a black 88 s4 and a 79 aqua blue. I love them both. for different kinds of driving. The older is a beast with a 5 speed. The s4 is a different kind of beast. I can set the cruise control at 160mph and still try and calm my wife down without having to yell over the road or engine noise. Depending on how loud her screaming is. I have a bunch of 914s too. They are like go carts. If you had one 928 and a 914 youd have the best of both worlds.

Harlequin romance car. Porsche 928 was really luxury car.

It really stands out amongst all those cars ... One thing is for sure, it was no family car ...

That soft side trim strip always looks out of place. But I suppose that it is either that thing - or door dings. Seems a shame that the rotor-dial wheels seemed to have been dropped from the option list after the car's premier. Along with the 928, BMW's E31 is also on my bucket list. Beautiful and "tuff" looking at the same time. Not unlike the Messerschmidt 262.

Still one of the most beautiful cars ever!

Not just a mode of transport emblematic of a quality of life with all due regard to the seat design it was quite racy at the moment of presentation and would've had been something one would have had to experienced then and appealed to conservative buyers the 928 was a Grand Tour vehicle with high performance. Credentials I experienced the interior at that moment and to this day has a nostalgic place of admiration

the good old days!

Love those Espada like rear seats..❤

The 80s were the greatest era ever, the early 80s were the best though, most creative stylish time, I love the 928S, its the most beautiful car ever made, one day I'm going to own an automatic in grey, things may not be good for me now, but one day ill be there. :)

so great Thanks ! Love my 85'6 928

I have an 86 and wouldnt trade it for anything. Great car.

STILL THE BEST LOOKING PORSCHE....... AND OFCOURSE, ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING AUTOMOBILE EVER......

Great video thank you for sharing it.

I have one. Where's my freaking castle? They make it seem like if you buy the car they'll throw in a big castle for free...

I can fit just about anything in the "greenhouse". Its a huge trunk and the back seats go down too. I have taken my children, my wife and myself with BASIC overnight bags all to the bay area from salem Oregon and everyone arrives ready to do something instead of grumpy and tired like they are when we take our Ford Excursion. The trick is, your kids have to be like 12 years old and you have to follow the seat adjustment procedure in the manual to adjust your seat properly. (germans...)

Brilliant video

TIL I'm the only 928 owner not living in a castle.

Lovely sport car

I hear ya...'tis true. I sold my 928.... and I want another!

They would all have to LIE to have commercials like these. Nothing like a Landshark. They really have no equal. Everything about them is unique. Even between the models. My 78 and 88 are two entirely different yet remarkably similar vehicles. You know your in a 928, that is unmistakable, but the two are also very different. The early model is a stick and very sparse on luxury type items, but it is a MONSTER. The 88 is like driving a Mercedes that canabalises other Mercedes.

We’re all hoping that Porsche will shorten the Panamera chassis, take off 2 doors and make a 928 MK2...V8 twin turbo. Incidently, the classical music so fits this car. The only flaw in this video is the narrator’s mis-pronunciation of Porsche.

Ten years after this video was posted and here I am. Additionally, I once owned a '73 911T, and two 944's. Now that I am divorced, I shall be seeking a 944 Turbo, 928, 911 Turbo, or 308. Maybe all at various times. 944s and 928s are bargains in 2019.

luv the lights!!

The pop-up mechanism is present on all 928 and 968 versions.

2:04 Wow, there's enough luggage space to fit a golf bag. Just have to ditch the golf trolley. LOL! 🤣

After watching this in 2023 again, this video reminds me why to never ever sell mine. I just recognized that I got my GTS even before this video was uploaded. I never found anything that could replace it.

Still a gorgeous, fascinating car but the teledials are much better looking and fit in with the overall design far better than the manhole covers.

It also has rear sun visors

nice upload!!!

OK, I love the car, and had an 84 S2 until 2006. Despite spending more than I expected until I found the right mechanic, I did love the experience. But I want to comment on the production values of the video! So many things to cut or re-shoot!

Oh no, if your anywhere near the pacific nw ive helped a bunch of guys get their cars back on the road. These are GREAT cars. They don't like to sit around though, of course most cars don't.... if you don't want too or just cant, I have rescued several cars from similar situations. They need to be driven. Good examples are getting harder to find. Get in touch, Ill help you. I have a 79 and spares plus my daily driver is an 88 s4.

I have a white 928 S4 with 105,000 k on the clock. Has been garaged and covered since birth. About to start driving it again. Just a wonderful shape and excitement.

Brother 26095, The only thing about you and I that isn't average is that we are both Shark owners. Anyone who owns one understands, others, well, they will never get it.

Right on, sir. Truer words were never spoken.

ok i LOVE these cars but my father and i go to numerous porsche shows cause were in the pscca and people allways trash takt the 928s but in todays market u can get one of these for a fairly low price like 10,000 dollars for a good one

Love the one your with. There hasn't been a car made that didn't have a club associated with it. Fieros have a well established place in the evolution of the sports car. Hold your head high, a move you may want to perfect for when your trying to breath through your sunroof after a fire breaks out directly behind your seat..... Sorry couldn't resist. But wasn't kidding until the fire comment....

Just bougth a 928. Cant wait for my new live stil

80s was a weird era

very nice! ))

I've always wanted one since my childhood. I've a Joustra one instead ;)

my favorit porsche but that little girl lives in a castel and her mother has a porshe

Une merveille

Beautiful promo, I want two; one early one just like what is shown in the very first shot in that mineral grey (?) color with designer cloth seats and phone dial wheels. To go alongside that one, a 1995 GTS model, dark blue over gray. =-)

Those seats tho.. I've always loved the 928, (and cringe every time I hear "Porsh", it's not hard to say "Por-sha" in English folks) especially the fact it's really hard to pin down which decade the design is from, and most people with no idea wouldn't guess the late 70's.

4:49 driving in Paris has not changed.

I half expected a Monty Python gag Ad the way the beginning sounded.

im tryin to get one of these once I get out of college and secure a job. im goin for auto technician. see my dad had a 944, I loved that car. Im still kinda confused on what one I want but I want a porsche for sure.

for a VERY brief second I thought I saw a Lexus RX in the background... then I realized... LOL. awesome car though.

i have a 928s and i'm 13 now thats nice ^^

Great car , I owned the 928s 1979 classic black if only ?

Habia uno verde estacionado a la vuelta de mi casa, siempre que lo veía la flasheaba, está en mi top 3 de autos al lado del jeep y el mustang

@ 2:00 - The only size human that can fit in those back "seats."

Sounds like a young Sir Anthony Hopkins narrating. Great car!

I suddenly feel so blue-collar with my Pontiac Fiero and my one story house.

The base 928 had better clean lines and wheels than the S version

Just bought 1980 Euro S Model, Very Happy With Car, Very Fast

Getting one soon :D 84 928S

@drouin916 Don't sell it. It is a great car. Just stay on top of the maintenance and it will last for a long, long time.

if this car was really that great it's the only car anyone in the world would drive
