I've had a blue S4 for over a decade now. It's a 4 speed auto. Well balanced. Nice torque from around 30 to 70mph.(in kickdown). Fast steering..Push it hard and you can sense the rear wheel passive steering (Weisach axle). You have to push it hard to make it feel like a go kart but only in absolutely dry weather otherwise it'll spin without warning. Most comfortable seats ever (IMExperience). Loads of feedback through chassis/steering compared to modern cars.

Even here in former West Germany nobody ever liked this car much and sales were low. Looking back on it from today’s perspective, it is a masterpiece of engineering with an iconic design that was way ahead of its time. I remember that for Ferry Porsche’s 75th birthday in 1984 the company’s gift to him was a special “shooting brake” edition of the 928S with a longer wheelbase and comfortable back seats for two adults. It came in a dark green metallic with a matching green interior. The car looked weird back in the day, but again the engineers were one step ahead. Years later the market would be ready for 4 seater, even 4 door Porsches …

The way that early interior looked is so crazy, even today it’s an incredibly modern and artful design. With all the panels flat and joined together seamlessly, with not even the speakers being seen (rather they were integrated into the door panel’s flat design leaving just a panel perforated with little holes where the speakers were), that interior showed design aesthetics that only came about with things like the modern Apple computer and the IPhone! AND IT CAME OUT IN THE 1970s!!! Hell even modern Porsche’s don’t incorporate the gauge cluster so that it can move along with the steering column so that the steering wheel doesn’t get in the way of the gauges, even modern Porsches don’t have that! This is honestly Porsche at its very best, and the credit for the interior goes to someone not many people know about named Hans Braun, he was the primary designer behind that interior.

Got a used '83 S model. Manual,dark metallic green with cream interior, and sunroof. Destiny was that it was the exact same car I took pictures of, and dreant about when I was much younger. My exact dream car come true. Aaaand sometimes your heroes are best left alone... :) It was a moneypit, but that I expected. What I didn't expect was that just a very few mechanics know how to properly service them. The nearest official Porsche didn't have a clue... Bright side: it was superfun to drive, and had absolutely comfy seats. Sold it after a few years because I got fed up with sport cars; decided to work less, have more free time, and give what I can to those who really need it. Very happy with my choice.

The 928S4 gathered dust in the showroom of most Porsche dealers. I know of two East Coast dealers who would pay *100% commission* to any salesperson who could get rid of one. So you came to see the 944? Let me show you the 928S4 instead! Oh, you like the 911 Cabrio? Let me show you the 928S4 instead! Oh, you're just waiting for the service department to finish the oil change on your Vanagon? Here, let me show you the 928S4! Just stopped by to get a sunvisor clip for your Scirocco? Let me show you the 928S4! Most of them were sold at a loss, and dealers were happy to see them go. I sold mine in '04 to the owner of the Sbarro pizza chain for 1/3 of what it's worth now, which is beyond the sticker price it had when new.

Back in the day I was seriously looking to buy an 4 - 5 year old 1985 or so 928. Thought I would go the the library and check out the repair history as I knew and repairs would be expensive. I believed I used the Edmundson LemonAid guide at the very least. Wellll, It was a nightmare of historical and expensive repairs. I kinda go a heads up when I test drove it - the Audio system literally sounded like a tin can/portable pocket radio. I ended up buying a 4 year old MR2 winter stored with less than 25,000 mikes on it. All I did was put Sticky Bridgestone Potenza's, 100% Synthetic oils throughout and a full flow oiled foam air filter - like a motor cycle air filter of the day. Rock solid and unexpected repairs over 5 years was next to nothing.

The 911 is the poor man's 928. Sorry - I gotta call balls and strikes. the 928 was European "Car" of the Year 1979. No other sports car including the 911 has ever won "Car" of the year. The 928 has won 2 production car land speed record at Bonneville (1986 and 2020) - the 911 has exactly won none. Even 911 enthusiast Magnus Walker has started his 928 collection - its Now or Never for the 928 still the biggest Bang for the Buck in classic Porsches. Singer/RWB/RUF could easily reimagine 928s - its just a matter of time before someone specializes in customizing and outlawing 928s - There is no substitute.

I appreciate the dainty throws used for the shifter demonstration. For whatever reason, I can't stand seeing the guy with blue blockers and black leather driving gloves slamming through the gears of a PARKED car.

More than $60,000 back then was crazy money. Part of the reason Porsche almost went out of business.

I paid $60k for my first house in 1993. I thought I was in deep deep debt. Today it will get you a truck.
