    Ive owned my 1987 928S4 for 30 years. Its still my everyday transport and a joy to drive. Totally reliable and over-engineered so not a single rattle or issue. I just love it.

    Just bought a spontaneous 928 could not resist a 1980 model 4.7S with manual gearbox moments of shall I or shall I not, in the end surcome to the excitement and passion for this great car.
  • @drunvert
    I would buy one of these cars in a heartbeat if I had the funds to fix it up and maintain it.
  • @saschaliebig6499
    I remember as a kid in the 70s when this great thing came out. Was Blown away. Unreachable Head turning dreamcar. What a Design. Would prefer this every time over a modern car.

    The car that enabled Jeremy Clarkson to go see his dad at Sheffield 30 mins before he died whilst keeping the chicken warm. Yes a car i still remember via that episode and also surprisingly hot wheels [yup just a few days ago i bought a 928 hotwheels]. Really wish to drive one someday and have an experience myself

    I would so love to have this with a manual gear box and electric antenna. It was love at first sight when the 928 came out in the late 70's ❤

    I just bought an 88 S4 with the same color/wheel combo. Seeing a near twin in that beautiful scenery was a treat! Very well shot!

    Had an '89 S4. It ran like a champion and I was king of the highway. Could cruise all day at 120 mph if I was allowed to here in the USA, so I settled for 10 minutes at 140. Rock solid at speed. Practically gave it away.
  • @marcusjohnson488
    I remember the first time I saw one of these. It was like it had landed from another planet. It looked like it was a huge Germanic electric shaver and the design language was completely foreign. A friend had a white 928S and I enjoyed a few trips in that. I ended up buying a 560 SEC and still have that. But if I could have a second car, this would be the one.
  • @johngarnham5772
    A wonderful tribute to a car which was way ahead of its time. A forgotten hero car for a long time, but not anymore. Porsche should bring the 928S back in my humble opinion, in some form or other. 4.7 litre petrol V8 (or 3.0 litre V6 maybe), hybrid with 4 wheel steer. RWD (4WD option) auto, say 480-500 PS combined. 3 door hatch. They already have a platform or two they could use. They would sell like HOT cakes I would imagine. Great video in lovely scenery.

    I greatly miss the 928 the monster Mile cruncher of the late 70’s till the mid 90’s, along with the Xjs they were both favourites of mine & each had fabulous distinctive styling, which is greatly missed these days.

    Update the interior to match the modern demand for comfort and styling. I wouldn't do anything to the exterior. And bingo ! You could sell it today ...... Timeless
  • @JK-xp7vm
    How is there not a single sound of the thing driving? Good God.

    The Porsche 928 is My 1980s Lottery Win Dream Car.
