With its potent powertrain, the 928 delivered impressive performance, combining speed, comfort, and long-distance touring capabilities.

While the 928 did not attain the same level of popularity as its 911 sibling, it remains a highly respected and sought-after classic, admired for its engineering prowess, striking design, and the unique driving experience it provides.
