The Porsche 928 was introduced in 1977 as a notably different model within the Porsche lineup. While the brand had traditionally relied on air-cooled, rear-mounted six-cylinder engines, the 928 featured a front-mounted V8, rear-wheel drive, and a transaxle configuration. This design aimed to give the car a grand touring character with a different technical approach than the 911, while maintaining Porsche’s sporty, high-quality touring car philosophy. The 928 was initially developed as a potential successor to the 911 but eventually became a distinct model series within Porsche’s lineup.
This particular example is a Porsche 928 manufactured on September 24, 1980. It is a Belgian car purchased from its first owner in Knokke. The purchase invoice is included, along with a partially completed maintenance booklet. The car has a Dutch license plate and a new APK inspection certificate.
The Porsche 928 is finished in Schwarz Metallic with black leather sport seats. It is equipped with a five-speed manual transmission with a dogleg shifter, power windows, a power sunroof, a sport steering wheel, a front-loading radio/CD player, and 15-inch original wheels. These features reflect the 1980s GT positioning of the model, emphasizing technology and driving comfort.
Under the hood is a 4.5-liter V8 gasoline engine producing 240 pk (180 kW). When introduced, the Porsche 928 was one of the first Porsche models to feature this engine layout and a transaxle design, with the transmission mounted in the rear. This contributed to balanced weight distribution and set the 928 apart from other Porsche models of the era. The current mileage is higher than indicated; the odometer was replaced at 256,204 km, and the car has reportedly been driven approximately 4,000 km since then. The vehicle is exempt from road tax.
This 1980 Porsche 928 combines early technical features with a manual transmission, a 4.5-liter V8, and period-specific equipment. The inclusion of the purchase invoice, service booklet, Dutch license plate, and new APK certificate provides a comprehensive overview. However, the odometer reading is higher than stated. We recommend attending the viewing day to get a better impression.
