Porsche 928 early days

[@928pcar]

Not just one of the best Porsches ever built, but one of the best automobiles ever

[@zahemi914]

I have always liked the early models than the later ones because I just love the rear lights

[@packodenton]

Brilliant video

[@AndyMatrix]

funny ,this car still feels exotic today ,this video is like watching someone from a different future using a time machine .

[@ottomellar6774]

Agreed. I used to own one, still miss it for several reasons. I now dream of getting another one with a good body but sad engine and transmission, and then electrifying it. Would keep it until I die.

[@MrTruth111]

lol yes, especially seeing it drive past a Renault 4 van

[@Stilini03]

you see how great the car has aged when you see it on the road today, but you see here in the video, it made everything around it look dated. great car.

[@laurandd9406]

One of the best Porsche ever built. Its exterior design is always and actually not old-fashioned.

[@marioiacolucci]

Risky business

@@marioiacolucci Weird Science.

[@marioiacolucci]

@@felinefinetessaslegacy I know dude it was in that movie thanks

[@marioiacolucci]

@@felinefinetessaslegacy oh and scarface risky business um weird science so far those are the only ones I remember

[@87654321j]

Even in 2023 she's still so beautiful and futuristic first saw and fell in love with the 928 in Scarface not a huge fan of 911s but 928 omg class beauty power and refinement all in one ☺️😍

[@TheSaturnV]

To this day no other car sounds like a 928 starting up.

[@Gorilla_Jones]

I miss the early 80s, had the time of my life. Today sucks absolute ass in comparison.

[@R33Racer]

Most amazing thing is it's from the 70's. Imagine seeing one of these then!

[@thomashumber9762]

saw my first in 1980.... all Porsches then were soooo far ahead ....a Ferrari was not even close.

[@downsouth420]

Ever since I saw the 928 in Weird Science as a kid, I became almost obsessed with it. I used to ogle my neighbor's 928 almost all day, and when I wasn't doing that, I would study the Chilton 924/928 manual cover to cover. I used to read Excellence magazine all day at school. And I still want nothing more than a 928 S4.

[@04dram04]

Ow you did all of that and you still havent bought one? They have been cheap for a while

[@Tommyblueeyes]

Do yourself a favour and get the autoaret's 1/18 scale..they are getting rare now...it's a beautiful diecast!

[@Tommyblueeyes]

@@04dram04 climbing again, badly! I was in the market for one in 2001...and they were going for (the 928S) about 13ooo AU (Australia) The gearbox to replace (auto) was 8k tho!) I found myself behind the wheel of a nice Jag xj6 instead lol, but I still drool over the thought I couldve had a RED 928s..(not my fav colour tho)

[@gerardmcmillan8591]

When I saw it in the movies Scarface and Looker as a kid, I was hooked and other movies that followed, Risky Business, etc. Also, back then, Porsche had quite the lineup. The 911, 924 and 928.

[@shananagans5]

The 928 has to be one of the greatest automobiles ever made. It never fit the Porsche mold so it never really got the respect it truly deserves on the world stage. I believe if an unknown German company built the exact car, it would have more respect. When it came out it just was not what a Porsche was supposed to be so lots of people discounted it. That is sad but good at the same time because enthusasts can get a world class car for average car prices.

[@fleuger99]

@shananagans5 one might say the same thing about the Cayenne when it was launched, not appreciated by Porsche faithful but it was the vehicle that saved the company from bankruptcy. I also think part of the lack of mass adoption was the price, they started at $50K in 1985. To compare, a BMW 635CSI was $40K in 1985.

[@JustLeftMovie]

Brilliant! The most beautiful car ever.

[@marioiacolucci]

Let's go for a spin

[@marioiacolucci]

Love it

[@CandyHam]

that design was ahead of its time

[@charlesearle8414]

I'll say. It still looks futuristic today. When it came out it was like driving a space ship.

[@marioiacolucci]

The car is a work of art

[@arrow_of_longing]

It is ahead of time to this day.

[@marioiacolucci]

What a car

[@radosawolszewski3642]

And still is!

[@butterflylovenj7300]

Always loved this car!!! My uncle had one when I was a kid, and loved it when it was in the movie Scarface.

[@gerardmcmillan8591]

And the movie "Risky Business".

[@Oscartorrevieja]

The best Porsche ever made....

[@eminzide]

STILL THE BEST LOOKING PORSCHE....... AND OFCOURSE, ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING AUTOMOBILE EVER......

[@chikiboomboom665]

Lovely sport car

[@LeoVariousVids]

I got one, an 1986.5 928 red one, awesome exotic sports car!

[@Pulsonar]

+L M A Religiously look after the cam belts/water pump, stick to the correct wheel size and spacers, keep electrics/fuse box (a great many) in order, watch for tailgate window water leaks, and will keep awesome forever...

[@random9774]

My dad has 928 GTS. It's awsome!!!

[@zyxw2011]

best looking porsche

[@Archillect1]

all sport cars should have commercials like these.

[@starwind5353]

96k (3k I put on over this almost 2 years) and recently did nearly did everything the dealership would have done for the 100k miles maintenance job. Put a bit of money into her in that way but shes never broken down and worst thing to happen was a leak from the gas tank which has been properly sealed. More than happy with her.

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

TIL I'm the only 928 owner not living in a castle.

[@ForeverYoungBDE]

my dream car

[@BESTOFTHEABOVE]

i could watch this all day

[@CHRIS454]

man. just slap on a set of nice wheels and tires. and that thing will turn heads even more than it already does. i'd love one of those.

[@AlloyDiesel]

wow, this is fascinating. The car is so old, yet very modern as well. Even in the design, you just dont see many cars from the early eighties that still look like they could be sold today. Much better looking than the Cayenne, Cayman, or Panamera, hell, even better looking than a modern 911 with all the go fast bits porsche now sticks on them. This video is so weird. I am guessing Porsche delivered this piece to country clubs on Beta Max. Thanks for posting!

[@DJLowedown]

Fancy leaving your golf trolley on the course ! Joking apart a beautiful car even today. I saw my first one in the south of France in 1980 and it looked as if it was from mars crowds flocked round it.

[@tech9803]

Who wouldn't want to live like this

[@Pulsonar]

I delivered newspapers as a kid and was nearly run over by a beautiful teal coloured 928 on a sunny Sunday morning in 1979! It was common for kids to ogle any supercar that passed through our poor neighbourhood only huge engraved ‘PORSCHE’ name on the rear bumper gave it away. I was already a fan of the 911 because of its stunning Le Mans 24H performances. so I knew 4this was a car like no other. This was how my love affair with the 928 began. I the car of my dreams 23 years later, a gorgeous jet black 928 S4. Some years she could be a high maintenance mistress, but for many years a faultless long distance gentleman’s carriage and companion. A 928 really is more than a car as they say in this excellent promotional video. I still check the National car registry to see if she’s still on the road and I’m pleased that in 2022 she still gives its new owners pleasure’s over 30 years since she was born, a testament to Porsches formidable engineering quality ❤️🙏🏽

[@RaphaelChan888]

2:04 Wow, there's enough luggage space to fit a golf bag. Just have to ditch the golf trolley. LOL! 🤣

[@maxjones5705]

I rang up my local Porsche dealer and told them I wanted a trial run, just like this video said. They did not take care of the rest.

[@andrejensen7837]

Just bougth a 928. Cant wait for my new live stil

[@andythesoupdragon]

4m48s? anti corrosion warranty? I have owned a 1989 928GT, it has covered 280,000 KM & has never needed welding,nor does it need any now. Bought in Bristol 2004 & I have just driven around the far north of Scotland averaging 27MPG, (10.4L @100KM). Nothing about these cars is hugely expensive unless you get the franchised dealer to do the clutch. This one was a bit awkward on the single track roads though, & the only "disaster" I have suffered has been a front wheel bearing. Not bad at all!

[@admiralackbar9307]

The 80s were the greatest era ever, the early 80s were the best though, most creative stylish time, I love the 928S, its the most beautiful car ever made, one day I'm going to own an automatic in grey, things may not be good for me now, but one day ill be there. :)

[@davidgressli1691]

It's a really beautiful car! Good luck mate. May the force be with you! ;)

[@starwind5353]

Mine is still is pristine shape body wise and if not for living in Wisconsin and needing a preventive sealant under the car, its still looks nigh under perfect. Bought it from the original owner and couldn't be more impressed with how well it was taken care.

[@432b86ed]

That soft side trim strip always looks out of place. But I suppose that it is either that thing - or door dings. Seems a shame that the rotor-dial wheels seemed to have been dropped from the option list after the car's premier. Along with the 928, BMW's E31 is also on my bucket list. Beautiful and "tuff" looking at the same time. Not unlike the Messerschmidt 262.

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

My favorite car

[@marioiacolucci]

It also has rear sun visors

[@shtstorm]

I have an '85 928S3 and love it.

[@toology55]

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

[@chuckstone4753]

Feeling good Louis!

[@spartus09]

Very underrated car-------but I like it that way.

[@bigjuliedive]

I have a white 928 S4 with 105,000 k on the clock. Has been garaged and covered since birth. About to start driving it again. Just a wonderful shape and excitement.

[@CockatooDude]

My question is, why weren't you driving it in the first place?

[@bigjuliedive]

My house and business were on adjacent lots. My staff would often block the exit from the garage so it became a Sunday special. Now I have retired but they still obstruct the exit and I have other cars easier to remove and zoom off!

[@CockatooDude]

bigjuliedive Ahh, I see, although in your place I would have told the staff to not park there, as a priceless piece of automotive jewelry was in that garage! Well that's stretching it a bit, but I see your point.

[@bigjuliedive]

Not driving to work is a fine advantage. I live in Perth Western Australia 2 kms from the CBD... 2 traffic lights. Plus short trips in cars are not good medicine for the engine. Maybe I will leave the car to my g'daughter who will be 18 in 11 years time.. what is the female equivalent of a chick magnet?

[@CockatooDude]

bigjuliedive Uhh, a guy magnet, I am not too sure if there is an equivalency to be honest. Just make sure she appreciates old cars and doesn't not want it just because it's old. That would be a shame.

[@christopherleveck6835]

I have a black 88 s4 and a 79 aqua blue. I love them both. for different kinds of driving. The older is a beast with a 5 speed. The s4 is a different kind of beast. I can set the cruise control at 160mph and still try and calm my wife down without having to yell over the road or engine noise. Depending on how loud her screaming is. I have a bunch of 914s too. They are like go carts. If you had one 928 and a 914 youd have the best of both worlds.

[@928pcar]

I guarantee you aren't setting the cruise at 160

[@taffydavenport1965]

so great Thanks ! Love my 85'6 928

[@christopherleveck6835]

Frog eyes, yep. You learn to love them. And take comfort in the fact that you only have to see them from the back...... and you still get the fun of hitting the button and watching them pop up.

[@marioiacolucci]

Yeah I love that

[@christopherleveck6835]

I can fit just about anything in the "greenhouse". Its a huge trunk and the back seats go down too. I have taken my children, my wife and myself with BASIC overnight bags all to the bay area from salem Oregon and everyone arrives ready to do something instead of grumpy and tired like they are when we take our Ford Excursion. The trick is, your kids have to be like 12 years old and you have to follow the seat adjustment procedure in the manual to adjust your seat properly. (germans...)

[@AlosDiallo]

Great video thank you for sharing it.

[@ottomellar6774]

OK, I love the car, and had an 84 S2 until 2006. Despite spending more than I expected until I found the right mechanic, I did love the experience. But I want to comment on the production values of the video! So many things to cut or re-shoot!

[@johndrake2729]

It really stands out amongst all those cars ... One thing is for sure, it was no family car ...

[@kathyhu7167]

Not just a mode of transport emblematic of a quality of life with all due regard to the seat design it was quite racy at the moment of presentation and would've had been something one would have had to experienced then and appealed to conservative buyers the 928 was a Grand Tour vehicle with high performance. Credentials I experienced the interior at that moment and to this day has a nostalgic place of admiration

[@ross2812]

Ten years after this video was posted and here I am. Additionally, I once owned a '73 911T, and two 944's. Now that I am divorced, I shall be seeking a 944 Turbo, 928, 911 Turbo, or 308. Maybe all at various times. 944s and 928s are bargains in 2019.

[@Tommyblueeyes]

go the 928 or 308, you cant go wrong...My heart goes out to you too brother with the divorce crap...never easy..never lol

[@marioiacolucci]

the good old days!

[@Tracertme]

Love those Espada like rear seats..❤

[@killerkalleausmkiez1676]

Oh my god i have to have one

[@marioiacolucci]

nice car still is in 2015 Porsche forever!

[@Todd82TA]

Hah, I forgot that I had written that. I actually owned a Porsche 944 at the time I wrote that, or I had just sold it. I had a 1984 Porsche 944, paid $1600, dumped $7000 into it, and sold it for $2000. Loved it... but there's something about the styling (interior, etc) of the older late 70s Porsche 928s.

[@FredroStarr12]

wow the whole dash is adjustable with the steering wheel? that's insane

[@erikhertzer8434]

We’re all hoping that Porsche will shorten the Panamera chassis, take off 2 doors and make a 928 MK2...V8 twin turbo. Incidently, the classical music so fits this car. The only flaw in this video is the narrator’s mis-pronunciation of Porsche.

[@Ground53]

I agree

[@davidviner4932]

It’s pronounced Porshhh, I’ve heard it in America

[@JL-qo1hg]

Tgey They arw

I have an 86 and wouldnt trade it for anything. Great car.

[@Turppa21]

im tryin to get one of these once I get out of college and secure a job. im goin for auto technician. see my dad had a 944, I loved that car. Im still kinda confused on what one I want but I want a porsche for sure.

[@paultheodore2834]

Great car , I owned the 928s 1979 classic black if only ?

[@christopherleveck6835]

Oh no, if your anywhere near the pacific nw ive helped a bunch of guys get their cars back on the road. These are GREAT cars. They don't like to sit around though, of course most cars don't.... if you don't want too or just cant, I have rescued several cars from similar situations. They need to be driven. Good examples are getting harder to find. Get in touch, Ill help you. I have a 79 and spares plus my daily driver is an 88 s4.

[@wjhmh]

Oh Christ, Porsche is a two syllable word.

[@dondragmer2412]

Wish I had not had to sell my 928 eight years ago. It was a manual. Unfortunately since my foot surgery, if I ever got one again it would have to be an automatic.

[@alwoo5645]

I think like 80% were built automatics

[@dondragmer2412]

Mine was a manual. How I miss it. Alas, since my left foot surgery my next 928 will have to be an automatic. Oh well, easier to find. Thanks for your reply, Al.

[@dondragmer2412]

They were what? Easier to find as automatic? In reference to what specific comment or question are you yucking about?

[@dondragmer2412]

I know it's the one you replied to, but clarify please. "Yuck" in reference to what within that comment? "Yes, they were" as regards what. The only part of that comment I can see that you your comment could meaningfully respond to is "It was a manual." And even that doesn't make any sense. If you cannot clarify your comment then forget about it.

[@dondragmer2412]

No it was not obvious nor completely obvious because your comment appeared in my private outlook inbox. and you answered me the first time I replied to you. OK enough said. Thank you for your clarification.

[@26095]

ok i LOVE these cars but my father and i go to numerous porsche shows cause were in the pscca and people allways trash takt the 928s but in todays market u can get one of these for a fairly low price like 10,000 dollars for a good one

[@tonybrown9875]

These handover videos were hilarious. They'd congratulate you at the start and kiss your ass while playing some classical music. Thanks, yes it's a beaut, but let's face it, it's a car, it'll be in the junk yard in a decade, if you really want to impress me fill'er-up before the handover.

[@Stevieboy130664]

Still a gorgeous, fascinating car but the teledials are much better looking and fit in with the overall design far better than the manhole covers.

[@DrCharlesMontague]

Beautiful promo, I want two; one early one just like what is shown in the very first shot in that mineral grey (?) color with designer cloth seats and phone dial wheels. To go alongside that one, a 1995 GTS model, dark blue over gray. =-)

[@TheMICMusicInspirationChannel]

Still one of the most beautiful cars ever!

[@christopherleveck6835]

They would all have to LIE to have commercials like these. Nothing like a Landshark. They really have no equal. Everything about them is unique. Even between the models. My 78 and 88 are two entirely different yet remarkably similar vehicles. You know your in a 928, that is unmistakable, but the two are also very different. The early model is a stick and very sparse on luxury type items, but it is a MONSTER. The 88 is like driving a Mercedes that canabalises other Mercedes.

[@mrpachino6014]

I used to drool over these when I was a teen in the 80s.

[@toology55]

There is No Substitute.

[@SpeedFlap]

After watching this in 2023 again, this video reminds me why to never ever sell mine. I just recognized that I got my GTS even before this video was uploaded. I never found anything that could replace it.

[@ottomellar6774]

I had one of those, until 2006. That model had the best sound. Hope you found one and had joy.

[@26095]

Right on, sir. Truer words were never spoken.

[@jbm0866]

Those seats tho.. I've always loved the 928, (and cringe every time I hear "Porsh", it's not hard to say "Por-sha" in English folks) especially the fact it's really hard to pin down which decade the design is from, and most people with no idea wouldn't guess the late 70's.

[@truebluebears76]

jbm0866 it’s Porsche not Porsche’ah if that was the case they would stick a fukin a on the end of it

[@davidviner4932]

It’s pronounced Porshhhh

[@maxjones5705]

Today you’d think the car looks a bit dated but when you see it driving with other cars from that era, it’s so futuristic and ahead of anything else on the road at the time.

[@Jaz-CTA]

Une merveille

[@christopherleveck6835]

Brother 26095, The only thing about you and I that isn't average is that we are both Shark owners. Anyone who owns one understands, others, well, they will never get it.

If I didn't have a 911....my second choice was a 928, but here in Australia the 928 is virtually impossible to get it as a manual & there's no way I'm getting an automatic Porsche !

[@bigjuliedive]

the auto kick-down is a real thrill.

[@michaelg492]

you're missing out

[@edgargranados8524]

The automatic was the correct transmission for this car. It was made to be GT rather than a sports car. Having own one myself, they are not small cars.

[@georgepenrose7407]

Interestingly the S2 auto starts in 1st, but in the S4 it starts in second, supposedly to control the additional power to the wheels when taking off. Fits the GT genre rather than the go cart feeling of the 911. Although the auto sucks some of the power I always found it such a pleasure to drive and the transmission was rock solid. On both my 928s have never touched the transmission even after 170Ks on the clock

[@jspahn]

@drouin916 Don't sell it. It is a great car. Just stay on top of the maintenance and it will last for a long, long time.

[@Da_one_tl]

[@BoomBoomStockings1]

I have a '79 928 that I traded my '73 Mercedes Benz 460SE which ran for it. I have no idea if this 928 runs or not.....I don't even have a key to it.
