The 1976-1982 Porsche 924

Overview

The 928 represented Porsche's ambitious entry into the grand touring market, conceived as a water-cooled front-engine vehicle capable of superseding the 911 in the company's model hierarchy. Introduced in 1977 and remaining in production through 1995, the 928 employed a 4.5-liter water-cooled V8 engine producing 240 horsepower initially, with progressive power increases to 350 horsepower in final S4 and turbo variants. The designation "928" reflected Porsche's intention that the model would eventually replace the 911 as the flagship performance car.
