Porsches attempt to kill the 911, And how it saved the company

[@louannwatt4447]

I have a 84 928. These cars were a few years ahead technically of any other car at the time. After owning and wrenching on one of these cars I’ve come to really appreciate Porsche engineering. The 928 is for a person who loves and appreciates fine GT cars.

I started working as a volunteer in the local hospital's e.r. in 1970. Over the next four years, three doctors died, driving 911s. Knowing how smart they had to be, and yet dying because it wasn't the perfect car that they thought it to be, made me suspect that something was wrong with it. Later having that confirmed, with the deadly trailing throttle oversteer characteristic which made driving it in a spirited manner on any roads that you didn't know well, potentially deadly if you dared push the car's limits, I decided that despite my Porsche fandom due to the late 60's and early 70's LeMans wins, I would never own a 911. When the 928's came out, another doctor bought one. Knowing that I loved cars and racing, all the doctors seemed to enjoy showing off their new cars to the staff of the e.r., and I often got to take the new cars for a spin. The 928 was incredible; it instantly became my favorite. Far too expensive for me, though, I did manage to buy a 1986 model in 2008, finally having my dream car. I had it for the next 8 years, only selling it as arthritis made it extremely painful for me to work on it. But it supplied me with great memories of just how good a car can be.

Outstanding job creating this video! Keep this up and you'll soon become one of the top creators in this space!

This video is great, I bought a 928 a couple years ago not knowing what it is, but now I'm super happy I have It. I wish more people would celebrate them like they do Honda s2000 or viper. It really did a lot for Porsche. It pushed their design language forward, Interior and exterior. And the earlier models are a lot more like a 911 than a true GT car like the later 928. I really wish it got more attention. Anyway, thanks for reading my rant lol. I loved the video and I'm in my 928 playlist. I hope you do more videos. You really have a talent for it and it is really high quality. You deserve more subs.

Wow. Well put together video! Earned a sub. Let’s see more cool Porsche content, new, old and everything in between.

A car that is better than the 911 in almost every category

[@luannroberts7167]

Some people think these 928’s are terrible like that one KZbinr named “carwizard” who thinks it’s a piece of junk and it’s underated even though it save the company and it was a really awesome car which handled great

[@driftindonuts]

Never really cared for the 928 until I started writing the script for this video and realized it’s actually really cool. Definitely on my list of cars I want now!

[@luannroberts7167]

To be fair the 928 doesn’t slide out like the “Volkswagen”911 and has a powerful v8 but how come only some majority know this car and why aren’t they making 928’s still?

[@luannroberts7167]

And I’m a huge fan of the 928 and I’m 11yrs old and I know that the early 928 did terrible but later on the car got better and better and my dad owns a 1981 Porsche 928 strosek wide body

[@928pcar]

@@luannroberts7167 the early 928s were fantastic cars. Not as powerful but also lighter

[@luannroberts7167]

With to have a 1981 928 strosek widebody in America is rare to have a 1981 and for it to be a strosek widebody and I think those 911 are boring and are overrated and I don’t wanna sound like I’m going on a rant or anything

[@ap2831381]

928 from very futurists car in 70’s to not so much old and outdated in 2000’s. Porsche should make new 928 or Panamera coupe.

[@luannroberts7167]

I vote the 928❤

[@davidcontini7217]

The 911s of the past 25 years all have a lot of the 928 in them.
