I first saw a red example back in 1972 at Henry Merig Fiat in Lancaster, PA and fell in love with the little car. The dealership installed an Abarth 1000 engine and was used for racing the first couple of years before they offered it for sale with a Fiat 850 engine for 5,200.00 (a bit more than I wanted to spend at the time). Two years later, a private owner posted the same car for sale (VIN 0079, but was repainted yellow) at 3,300.00 and I purchased it in September of 1974. A fresh 903 GBC engine with some performance parts from Al Cosentino made it's way into the car and I drove it for the next 10 years until put away in storage. The car was driven occasionally after that and eventually sold in December of 2008. A very entertaining car to own and drive!

What an amazing story! Thank you so much for sharing it. It's fantastic when our videos bring back memories of happy times. The Grand Prix is truly a fun and lovely little car to drive. I can imagine even more so with some tuning. Do you know what happened to your car? Should you want to relive those memories, our car is still available! Only problem for me at 6"4 (193 cm) is that there's not enough headroom. I need to tilt my head to one side to be able to drive, which is not ideal :) For the right sized driver though it's really entertaining, Thanks again for watching and commenting!

We bought a home in Abruzzo, Italy last year and having driven there extensively this past summer, I now know why the GrandPrix was designed and built the way it was... It would be so perfect for these roads! At only 5'8", the car fit me very comfortably and was always an absolute pleasure to drive!

I've got a manual 1980 with the 4.7L V8 which makes around 300HP. I've driven the 4.5 and it felt a bit lacking, the extra HP of the 4.7 make a big difference and is probably closer the what Porsche envisioned for the 78/79. Incredible cars, amazing handling & finally getting (some of) the recognition they deserve

I always loved the sleek lines of the 4 door Jaguar XJ. Then one day back in the 70`s this young car loving teenager saw an XJC drive pass in shiny black with vinyl roof and red leather interior, I was so impressed it became there and then my favourite all time car, still to this day, they are a timeless classic and one of Jaguars finest hours.

I believe why the 928 didn’t take over from the 911 is because it didn’t have the 911’s racing heritage, plus the price was so high, that the 911 Turbo was in range. Also it seemed too ‘American’ for a German car. Designed by American Tony Lapine.
@johnmcdermott5505 3 ай бұрын
I have always felt the reason was Porsche owners had been drinking the koolaid for 20+ years that an air cooled engine in the back of the car was engineering superiority compared to lesser vehicles and then when Porsche starts with a clean sheet of paper they give the market a front engined water cooled V8. It went against everything their diehard supporters had come to believe as truth and they likely felt like Porsche had given them the bird.
@petrolheadclassics 3 ай бұрын
I agree, that the high price surely didn’t help sales and it remained an expensive car compared to many competitors throughout its long lifespan. And it was so different to the 911. I’ve never seen it as a competitor, but rather a sensible compliment to the 911 and a way to broaden the customer base. Beauty is in eye of the beholder. I personally love the design, yet it’s not for everyone. The exterior of car was actually designed by Wolfgang Möbius, naturally under the watchful eye of Tony Lapine, who was actually Latvian by birth, although he worked for the American car industry before coming to Porsche. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
@petrolheadclassics 3 ай бұрын
That actually sounds like a great summary! Diehard Porsche enthusiasts can be a difficult bunch to please and perhaps it was simply too much of a departure from everything they knew. However, the 928 really moved the game forward and how many cars from the Seventies look contemporary today? Thanks for watching and commenting!

Porsche started designing this car in 1971. Then shelved development when the oil crisis started. Then picked up development again in 1975 alongside the 924 development. It was far from “out of nowhere”. Porsche feared they weren’t going to be able to sell the 911 in the US into the future, because of increasing safety and emissions regulations. The 928 was specifically designed with the US market in mind
@petrolheadclassics 4 ай бұрын
Thank you for watching and commenting! I mention more about the history towards the end of the video. Among other things, that development started in 1971, that the internal code was ‘911 H’ as a potential 911 successor and, that Porsche considered a much bigger V8 before the oil crisis hit etc. I think it was incredibly brave of Porsche to sign off this forward-thinking design in 1973! ’Out of nowhere’ was from the perspective of a customer in 1977, having considered competitors such as Mercedes and Jaguar 😉 So it’s not with reference to the car’s development. Anyway, seems we’re both big fans of the 928. Happy weekend!

@@chesswizard31 Thank you for watching and commenting. The first series cars had the same engine both in Europe and the US. The differences were, that NA cars had catalytic converter with O2 sensor as well as EGR. These measures reduced power slightly from 237 to 219 hp. I don't really sense much of a difference due to the torque of the engine. A bigger difference occured in 1980, when the bigger 4,7l engine was launched for the 'S' model ROW, while US kept the smaller powerplant until 1983. What is your experience of driving EU versus US? Would be interesting to know.
