When the 928 debuted at the 1977
Geneva Motor Show, Porsche purists were appalled. Billed as a
successor to the 911, the 928 was more of a grand tourer than an
outright sports car, and to make matters worse, Porsche went and
put the engine at the front. History has been kinder to the
vehicle than the community was initially though. Why? Because the
928 is secretly great. The car offered a level of comfort and
splendor unavailable in any other Porsche at the time, and it
actually had a usable back seat. Would it keep pace with a 911
around a track? Absolutely not, but that wasn’t the 928’s
wheelhouse.
