The Porsche 928 is a luxury grand tourer produced by Porsche AG of Germany from 1978 to 1995. It was originally
\nwould replace the company icon 911. The 928 combined the power, boldness and handling of a sports car with
\nthe sophistication, comfort and equipment of a luxury limousine. The 928 became the ultimate production car,
\nwhich was sold by Porsche. Porsche management believed that such a flagship would be more attractive than the compact 911.
\nThe 928 has the distinction of being the company's first V8-powered production model and its only coupe to power it
\nfront mounted V8 engine. By the late 1960s, Porsche had firmly established itself as a manufacturer
\nhigh-performance sports cars. After the oil crisis of the 1970s, executives,
\nincluding owner Ferdinand Porsche, began thinking about adding a more economical luxury traveller
\ncar in the offer. General manager Ernst Fuhrmann pressured Ferdinand to approve the development of the new
\nmodel out of concern that the current flagship model at the time, the 911, was reaching the limits of its potential. Fuhrmann believed that
\nthe company's future is based on grand touring cars with conventional engines instead of unconventional ones
\nsports cars. 911 sales drop in mid
\nof the 1970s clearly confirmed that the model was nearing the end of its economic life
\ncycle. Fuhrmann conceived the new top model grand tourer as the best possible combination of a sports coupe
\nand luxury limousines. This would set it apart from the 911 with its relatively spartan interior and really
\nperformance of a sports car. The goals were that the car should compete equally with the Mercedes-Benz offerings
\nand BMW, while at the same time being successful in the US, at Porsche
\nthe main market at that time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
