928 is ridiculously underrated car. If you made some modernizations to the front, 928 GTS looks like something that could come out of factory today. The design is so timeless. Buy those S4's now when the prices are still cheap. They won't be for long.

I owned a Porsche 928 S4 for 13 years, the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Even with worst case maintenance costs it was an education and a experience like no other. The drive, the power the comfort, the looks, it had everything in my book. Hugely underrated, I was shocked how little ‘enthusiasts’ were prepared to pay for it when I sold mine a few years ago. I’ve never understood why it was looked down upon, and I’m equally a Porsche 911 air cooled fanatic. From the aesthetics perspective the 928 was the most beautiful car Porsche has ever designed IMO.

Finally after years of just looking and watching your comments, bought an 1983 928S full history, which has all the usual battle scars but interior intact. After driving it for a few days now have only one regret - not buying it sooner! It's a manual and I love it. Thanks for the videos ,very informative and honest.

What a great video thanks ! When I was 18 in London in 1987 I got told by someone who just bought a new one that I could never afford one and I would never own one. I now live in New Zealand and by sheer chance managed to get one that had been in dry storage for 16 years !!! It was the same colour inside and out as the guy’s who told me I’d never have one. It’s been a sunny day car for the last 3 years and, once the maintenance was back up to speed it’s been nothing short of epic. It’s a real head turner. The online community for this car is like nothing else and the spares are easy to get. It’s been absolute trouble free motoring for 3 years and I absolutely love it. People who say it’s ‘ not a 911’ always get the same comment back. It’s because Porsche didn’t want to build another 911.... and I didn’t want one either. I love them and I glad I got in whilst they were still at a reasonable price. They are the collectors choice now and prices are going quite quickly. You’re enthusiasm sums them up. Cheers !!

The 928 is the absolute sexiest car on four wheels. It was love at first sight. I've been completely obsessed ever since. I've never seen Risky Business. I wouldn't decide to own a car because of a TV show or movie. I perfer the looks of it to any Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, or Bugatti. I want to know as much as I can about the 928. I hope to own one some day. Thank you.

This is probably one of the best 928 videos out there for person on the prowl for one After 40 years of wanting one, I need to pull finger and do something about it Great vid I learned a lot

Hi I got a 1985 euro s mod stick shift, I used to have a 1981 mod Auto shift, I would never go back to auto, Auto was a lot of fun, still the manual shifter is way more fun🤪 I love my 928S it’s built like a tank, electric systems can be a problem .

The most comfortable car I ever sat in......bar none!!

In 1978 the porsche 928 was price tag $ 28,000 and the corvette was $ 11,000 .mi friend bought a house with $ 28,000 .but me myself, i love rhe sound of the 928 engine.spwcially from germany with bigger intake manifold.

I've had my 84 928s for 3 years now and I still love it...

I drove this car over 20 years ago. Few cars I’ve driven since were as technically advanced for their time as the 928. No Corvette, Jaguar XK8 or Trans Am came close for build quality or sheer class.

Great video. One thing though... you actually CAN compare Mercedes R129 to Porsche 928. That is pretty much similar (superb) build quality and extremely overengineered car. SL 600 was actually almost as fast as a GTS (if you removed the limiter).

(little known fact) Dr. Porsche LOVED the Lambo Mura's styling and it inspired him to design the 928 iconic pop-up headlights in a similar fashion. Truly better in EVERY way than the Mura.

Great video 👍👍 I've owned my 928 for 11 years now.

I had a 1979 Porsche 928 ! Loved it!!!! It’s amazing at top speeds!!!

Thanks for a terrific new Porsche 928 video. I just acquired my first one (a 1980) and everything in this video (and Part2) perfectly captures the essence of this terrific automobile. Over the past few years, it seems that the 928 is coming into its own as a collectible car. Prices have really moved higher. (Also, my compliments on including the pretty young lady in Part 2!)

They are well very well built cars. After fixing a wrecked 2008 GTI, which was held together by plastic bolted to plastic with partially plastic fasteners, I have a whole new appreciation for the 928.

"An Engineer's Car", I love it!. I miss my 1990 928 GT 5 speed.

I remember a movie in which a lifted pick up truck drove over a 928 intending to crush it. The 928 had to be significantly weakened to allow the truck to crush it for filming.

I can vouch for the 928 being a brilliant track car with a little weight loss... or perhaps a lot of weight loss ;) My (euro) S weighs about just under 1350kg/3000lbs. With 300 hp it's an absolute blast to drive :)

After driving, owning and restoring for 20 years, I whole-heartedly agree with everything he says. Well done. @6:45 - I have both the 84 and 85 euro. You can certainly daily drive them in my opinion even with the additional 100 hp. What I like is that if you need the extra HP its there and if not, the car extremely docile.

You nailed it! Thanks for much more information about the absolute super car of the 80‘s and 90‘s. I hope to get mine in about 3-4 weeks. 89 GT, guards red and black interior, Keskin mags! Can’t wait!

I daily drive, mountain tour, and road trip mine. It's a smooth, sure footed, bullet proof driving experience.

Yup, I drive it, and I know it. Settle in the sport seats and you never want to get out.

I was so nervous to watch this after purchasing my 83 928S earlier this year, but now I just loved it even more! Maybe I’ll get another?!

i wish there were more video’s on the 928! I have watched every single video available in the last 10 years ( must be obsessed). Just had a 928 euro 1983 completely overhauled with new exhaust system. Dear God what a rocket and sound!! I cannot get my head around why they still are so cheap and offered at auctions as if it is junk. A 912 with roughly 100 bhp goes for 50.000 usd

One of the most enjoyable video's on the 928 that I have watched! You nailed it, great job! I always loved the styling and design, and built like a Panzer Tank! I own 2 1985 models both manual -1 Euro, 1 US version.

Excellent, I enjoy my 91 S4 and agree completely.

Had my 86.5 S2 Auto for 3 years now and although I didn't know how important it was at the time, it has a mint interior. (phew!) Thanks for the vid!

Hi. Great video, Love the 928. There is one car though that hold the same ”overbuilt” feeling and is overbuilt. The Mercedes R129 500 SL. 1989-2001. Handbuilt in Bremen. Selected staff built it. A strong V8, simular to 928, and share the same automatic 928 have. With the hardtop on its a GT car, and off a wonderful cab. I know, its not best comparing of model. But bring the same overbuilt feeling and handles great on the road, fast too. Keep posting 👍🏻😃

A 944 if well kept does not feel cheaper; they were assembled by Audi in Neckarsulm in that era and they are built well. The layer 928s leapfrog must cars by 1987 or 1988 with their suspensions and 32 valve engines. The big difference is the leather clad interiors of 928s, while the 944 still has normal window outlines and rear carpeting. Ironically the 944 interiors other than that rear carpeting hold up pretty well while 928s needed tending and garaging. But a 928 interior specialist can make them look spectacular. The 928 can also drive well with a stick or automatic, and at 3500 pounds a manual version feels a lot like a nineties five series. It’s solid but you can toss it a bit and throttle steer it. 944s you can toss a LOT and throttle steer them always; to me they are a bit more fun to drive in city situations. But a 928 is an event, people point and take pictures.

Best looking car ever penned, in my humble opinion.

I really do like the 928. I remember when I saw a modified one in the late 80s, it had a testarossa side stakes on it. I drove by it as it was parked up every day. Always liked them🤔

Nice video good job .love 928

great video... love my 928s4 for ife and all the things you said are spot on.

I love my 1983 928s, I wanted one since I was a kid. Also I think I read somewhere that Tom Selleck still has a 928.

Anatole Lapine, Porsche's Chief Designer for the period was hired away from GM/Opel. Lapine worked extensively on the C2 corvette and several prototype's with front engine/rear transaxle configurations that never made it to production, that is, until the 924/944 & 928. What a rich life he had: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatole_Lapine#Porsche

Magnum PI directors went to Porsche and asked them to make a special 928 with a large modified sunroof for filming. Ferry and the boys in Stuttgart scoffed at that idea and the directors went elsewhere. The Ferrari required no modifications

Love to see you compare it to the Mercedes SL R129.

Im back, very cool video, your my porsche sales person 🤣

One of the worlds great cars, but a bit perturbed about its 8 ft timing belt and extreme and complex replacement procedures ?

Great vid!

Yow do not start a 928 or any Porsche in second gear that is NOT a good idea and for the 915 in many 911s a real good way to destroy the clutch quickly. That said if it’s rolling try not to shift down all the way into first unless you’re on a hill. Porsches love to pull up when you do that and it’s tough on the throw out bearing. You can quick shift second, but start in first.

Lots of facts and Truth here about a car that I've always admired, your right eye looks remarkable in the pictures, almost like you have two pupils, is there something reflecting on you or are you a little bit different than the rest of us? Love your stuff and off to watch part 2 now

Love this car. I have a backdated 1982 928S

....I kept getting out Bid on some of the cars I would find, and manual.... but now with my grandmother in her 80's now it would be hard for her to get out and in. Ah well.. in a Scat pack challenger.. with a manual.

I'd love to see a similar video on the Porsche 968!

You should be sellin' 'em. Great video.

Always had a fascination with these! perhaps itsthe torque or the high revving v8 or justthe quality build and unique look that sets it apart from everything else on the road...Unfortunately, some test drives in these, both manuals and some autos were the extent of my limited experience..however I can attest that once yove driven one, it leaves an itch to get one and the impression remains long afterwards... things is , theseare expensive for a decent one and a manual, even more.. sure u can find under 10 grand some examples but these also have a reputation for severe maintainance issues and old abused cheap ones are bound to be full of problems no matter how tempting...

Feeling every single irregularity in the road was the only drawback I could find as a passenger. Is there a way to fix this?

Boa tarde sou brasileiro tem algum contato do esquema elétrico do 928 estou com um aqui na minha loja parou a bomba da gasolina e os bicos

Ok. You sold me on a 928!!!

My first car was 928 in 1985. I still have the very same car. 1985 288 horse power.only 72000 miles on it.

can you help with a you tube on how to figure out what a horn problem might be if it is not getting to horn relay fuse panel

Bougth one today. But its winter in denmark. Cant wait for 1 april

I had a 1987 Porsche 928, in mid 1993 until I lend it one day to my X who had given the vehicle to me as a gift, and he totaled it drunk driving.😡

so 85 is considered an old one right? is the manual on these ones good like u mentioned the difference in other video?Also didnt u say in the other videos the american ones are better engines? i live in poland europe and i think i found my favourite 85 model with mianual with great interior and nice color

A-fucking-men Hombre. Nice video. Greetings from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 PS Did you say it’s overbuilt?

ONE big expense spared; using all the same color grey wiring going to and from the fuse / relay panel. Makes taking things apart to clean the connections a nightmare, and is the reason I sold mine.

Q: I live in California. If I buy a 928 from another state, will I have to invest more money in getting the car smog ready ?

Is this the trick to getting the automatic S4 to start in 1st gear - have the shifter start on 2 and then upshift gears (>3>D) as RPMs reach redline?

Yes.

Im considering getting one but its very hard to find one here in Thailand. There is one on the market at the moment but the price is very steep......about $50k..USD..and there arent many around either. Can a normal porsche mechanic fix the 928???? Need more info on this model.before i pull the triger

True.

Ok. 928 vs. 968 in a track context. Which car do you take?

is it possible to put a 928S4 rear bumper conversion to an early 928s?

These cars are over engineered, but they aren’t bulletproof, no car is, they are costly to run, because they are over engineered, parts are expensive when they go wrong. Now they are over 30 years old, you will have added maintenance costs, unless you buy a well sorted restored example. Even a low mileage car will have its problems due to the age. They have a very complex timing belt, very hard to get to as well, will cost a pretty penny to replace. They are great cars, but know what your getting involved with before buying, any older car will have added maintenance costs, these cars were so well built, parts won’t be cheap.

💯💯💯💥💥💥

just found one abandond.. how much do you think is neccesary to revive it again

Hi guys, my dream is still to own a 928, but seriously are there major costs that i should be aware of?

This guy spent the first 10 minutes repeating himself and the video is only 8.02 mins. long. "it's over engineered." I get it.

I would settle on a Ferrari 308 as well.

Quick detele this, before prices rise too much for me to buy one:)

Weird Science also.

I own a 1979 manual 928 and a 1999 996 coupe. Love them both but want to sell them and a kidney for a late 70's to early 80's AC 911.

I have been in to the 928 since 1996 when I bought my first S4. I have had 15 since that first one. I still have 5 of them, and had 14 at one time for over 5 years! I owned all the GTS models for 5 years. I totally agree with your perspectives here. Many more 928 videos on my page: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h9eKjZh_xLbamIk.html

Yeah but gas engines are going to be obsolete except for a backup generator.

Don’t skip gears!!

Now, the question, where do I get one and won’t break the bank.

You have to mention the 968 as front engines Porsche to the 928, not the 944. The 968 is a more advanced car and a much better comparison, although not close, to the 928🤨🤷🏾‍♂️

First thing is just don’t buy one. I own two and it’s a mechanic nightmare. Fortunately I can fix all the bad mechanical problems because I’m a Euro mechanic.👨‍🔧 I blame American owners and mechanics

Thick aluminum, steal mechanisms, a bank vault, refreshing ride, a 1000 lbs over weight. That doesn't sound good.

Is the car over built?

Men your accent is like scarface ..dude !! Coukdnt finish the video Tony !!

Things to know just don't do it. Its makes an XJS seem reliable and cheap to own.

My dad has a Porsche 928

Pretty good info. You don't need to sell me on the 928. Bit of advice on future videos, though. Do away with the splicing effect. Annoying and unnecessary

Started with part 2 and 3 and now im here and have to say im so happy i found your videos. Amazing knowledge,, super useful. mega nice. Do you have a discord or could you maybe open it up? i want to be in your community of porsche 928 lovers. thank you
