Precision Motorwerks Porsche 928 GTS *5.8* Engine Test

As stated by Greg Brown / Precision Motorwerks:
"Another 5.8 Liter GTS engine, with all the internal tricks, completed on the engine stand and then sitting on the break-in/test stand, ready to run.
I'm no longer certain that we are are simply "working" on 928 stuff, but somewhere along the line, switched over to art."
Beautiful.
Bonus "Hot for Teacher" intro melody finish.

What an interesting bark. As a child of the 90’s the 928 was too far before my time. I’ve always been confused as to what its purpose was or where it stood in the Porsche lineup. I’ve never seen a pristine example on the road! Very cool engine and very cool video. Your channel fascinates me as you have a time capsule of all the things I missed being a child.

Porsche was dieing and thought they needed something modern and away from tradition to make them float again. It's purpose was to replace the 911 but it ended up being the money maker that they needed to save the company from going under and saved the 911 in the process. Very important car in their lineup indeed. They added Volkswagens 924 to keep a line up of cars going which became the loved 944. Produced for 18 years with slight changes along with enlarging engine displacement multiple times they were able to rejuvenate the 911 before the 928 was put to rest while learning it wasn't the 911s fault they were dieing it was their own fault. If you want to know a little of what the car felt like in its prime watch the movie Risky Business. It sums it up perfectly. Good movie too

@@plap. great insightful comment ! Thank you for teaching me something today

[@plap.]

@@LarryStranger No prob., Don't forget to watch the movie. It's really good and Tom Cruises second movie before he got weird and unbearable. It was 1982 and the 928 had been around for about 5 years. Had small updates and in its prime. When I picture the car in my head I picture that one. Love It or hate it, it was that kind of car, it was a great car. I always loved it. It was still a Porsche after all.

@@plap. am I mistaken for thinking Tony Montana purchased one in Scarface ?

[@plap.]

@@LarryStranger Yes, very good. I forgot about that. That would have been '83 still at it height. Was showing status in that but wasn't so much a character in the movie as it was in Risky Business tho.

That idle reminds me of a 1968 beetle running a bit slow/cold start.

I wonder what the comprimise was between authentic and performance

[@mccanlessdesign]

Nice sound! Certainly not an aesthetically attractive engine, with all the umbilical cabling and hoses - but I guess it perfectly represents Porsche's production intent. Not as bad as old Jags with the electrical spread all over the inner fenders and cowl and core support
