Fans streamed into NRG Center Saturday, eager to see for themselves what the Barrett-Jackson Experience is all about in Texas - and they weren’t disappointed. The day was packed with action all around the site and in the auction arena.
The big stars of the day, of course, were in the spotlight on the auction stage! The top-selling car on Saturday (and of the entire auction) was a 1979 Porsche 928 used as the “hero car” in the film “Risky Business.” The crowd went wild when the iconic car sold for $1.98 million - making it the highest-selling Porsche 928 ever sold at auction

This car has aged so well and looking at what is out there now ......makes you appreciate this beautiful design even more. The 928 had so many firsts in Porsche history.

When the Porsche 928 hit the road there was nothing on the market like it. The curvaceous body design was unprecedented. All sports cars at the time had a wedge look.

Amazing! People are really starting to appreciate these classic Porsches. 911's have been going crazy for a few years, but now 928s, 944s, 924s and 914s are all being valued for the beautiful autos that they are!

First production car to hit 200mph, first Porsche v8, original cost was equivalent to $200k, last production Porsche to be hand built and the design still looks good after 40 years. @ 1.8 mil, Tom defiantly gave it a boost but worse cars with higher production numbers have sold for more.

Yes, You can but In terms of history is one of the kind in the world. is very simple, what ever You are riding today is an influence of the Porsche 928. First in almost of all tegnology . Back in 1977 928 Made big changes in automotive indrustry. ABS,fuel inyector,computer, disc brake, and more. Fact of all this new technology won car of the year, and the designer Tony Lapine is known as one of the Best designer in the world. This one is more Special about the fact. I imagen if this one went for this amount the other that been used on movie scareface is going up for more.

Yeah , for it's day it was powerful, not so much now. I have an '87 928 S4, 5 ltr 4sp auto and an '07 Toyota Aurion 3.5 ltr 6sp auto. The Porsche probably just out drags the Toyota from a standing start, from a rolling start the modern gear box will smoke the Porsche auto, but the 928 also rated to 265KPh top speed which is not slow.

@oliverdunham3299 2 жыл бұрын

@@peterschmidt1453 Guy's Ya know this particular car was bought as a piece of Movie/cultural History, not to be driven. ....... There were 9 different versions of the 928, different engines&brakes. They vary widely in performance and sound. Mine manufactured in 1984 will do 165mph top speed (TESTED by Phil Hill) and beat a 2nd gen 2010 boxster off the line. THE IGNORANCE ABOUT THE 928 IS STAGGERING! It was the best car you buy in the 80's, better than that barge the testa and way better than that crappy kitcar the countack.
