For a company like Porsche to suddenly make a water-cooled front engine and put it under the hood like everybody else was an affront to some purists in the early 1980s but the company saw a need for a grand tourer that only Porsche could do. It was the star car in several classic big screen hits of the 1980s, including “Weird Science,” “Risky Business,” and “Scarface,” which is also one of the reasons why the Porsche 928 became an icon and an enthusiast’s dream. This is one of 15,682 928 S4s made between 1987 and 1991.
Made in Porsche’s factory in Stuttgart, West Germany in August 1987, this 928 is dressed in Nougat Metallic Brown (code LMV8 L40B F4). The paint and trim are in overall very good order; the bodywork is straight and solid, with minor imperfections.  The engine bay is extremely tidy and the cargo area is in above average condition. The body-colored, fully integrated polyurethane bumpers are in the same shape as the rest of the body. The integrated bumpers were an unusual feature for the time that aided the car visually and reduced its drag.
The body, styled by Wolfgang Möbius under Anatole Lapine’s guidance, was mainly composed of galvanized steel, except for the doors, front wing, front fenders and hood were made of aluminum to make the car lighter. It had a substantial luggage area accessed via a large hatchback. This model has a rear spoiler, a rear wiper and washer plus a custom alarm.
Cosmetically, the 928 S4 received rounder and budging turn signals, auxiliary lights and foglight assemblies to modernize the front end. At the rear, the taillights transformed into a single wraparound lens design integrated into the rear bumper. The taillights also rest flush with the bodywork, rather than being concave. Another unusual feature were the pop-up headlamps which were based on the units found on the Lamborghini Miura and were integrated into the front wings.
This 928 rolls on Cooper RS3-GT radials, size 225/50R16 in front and 245/50R16 in rear. Each tire is mounted to a factory and vented alloys, nicknamed the “platters.” The wheels are in good, original condition while the tires are in very good order.
Under the hood is a 5.0L DOHC 32-valve V-8 engine (code M28/4x). The motor had new pistons, a new cylinder head with more aggressive camshafts and larger valves and a 10.0:1 compression ratio. Backing up the engine is a four-speed automatic transmission, which is derived from a Mercedes-Benz design. For 1988, the transmission featured a larger torque convertor and a stronger torque rube with a 3 mm thicker center shaft. Porsche used a Weissach Axle, a simple, passive rear-wheel steering system that increases stability while braking during a turn and helps achieve 50/50 front/rear weight distribution, aiding the car's balance.
Driver convenience features are lengthy and include automatic climate control, power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, cruise control, sunroof, power locks, power sideview mirrors, power windows, power and heated front seats, tilt steering column, remote hatch release and rear defroster. This car also has anti-lock brakes.
Inside, the car’s brown leather interior is in overall very good order with minor imperfections. With its front bucket seats and pair of rear demi-buckets, the 928 qualified as a 2+2. Both rear seats could be folded down to enlarge the luggage area and all four seats had sun visors for occupants. The rear seats are small due to the prominent transmission hump and are only suitable for adults on very short trips or children.  The A/C and horn are inoperable.  The carpet and headliner match the seat’s colors and look great. The 928 was also the first vehicle where the instrument cluster moved in synch with the adjustable steering wheel to maintain maximum instrument visibility. The instrument panel and wraparound inner door panels are in better-than average condition, as is the center console and shift lever. A Blaupunkt AM/FM stereo with cassette deck and six speakers complete the interior.
The S4 was much closer to being a truly world car than previous models as only major differences for North American models were instrumentation in either kilometers or miles, lighting, front and rear bumper shocks and the availability of catalytic converters in many other markets. Competition to this Porsche in 1988 included Chevrolet’s Corvette, Ferrari’s Mondial 3.2 and Lotus’ Esprit.
This survivor grand tourer remains in very good condition for a more than 30-year-old car and its styling ensures that it will always look like nothing else on the road. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to look over this German titan today!
