There is little replacement for a good Grand Tourer. Big engine in the front, two doors in the middle, and two drive wheels in the rear. It’s a combination of features that always pleases. Porsche, however, might disagree with us on this since they’ve never bothered to replace the 928 since its demise in 1995. Maybe they feel the 911 can handle such duties just fine, or maybe they figure four doors is the way to go rather than two. Regardless of their reasons, for us a proper Porsche GT requires we reach back a few decades to find something like this: a Grand Prix White 1991 Porsche 928GT, located in Missouri, with the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission and just 33,968 miles on it. The 928GT wasn’t the ultimate expression of these cars as the 928GTS would come along one year after this one, but with the 928GT’s 5.0 liter V8 upfront delivering its 330hp rearward there still was plenty of available thrust to propel these cars forward.
Since joining forces with the guys over at flüssig magazine, I’ve learned so much about the Porsche 928 and hopefully you, the reader, have as well. They are a fantastic resource for all things related to the front-engined, water-cooled sports cars from Stuttgart. One 928 which continues to intrigue me is this car we see here for sale in Texas: the 928GT. The GT was offered for only three years, from 1989 to 1991. This was essentially the more sporting of the 928 range, available only with a 5-speed manual gearbox and a bit more horsepower out of the 5.0 liter V8. If the GTS is getting a bit rich for your blood, it might be time to check out a 928 of this variety.
The Porsche 928 had a long production span of almost twenty years, so naturally you would expect a number of changes would have taken place. Apart from engine upgrades during its life, there were relatively few model changes, but one of the more unique variants was the 928GT, sold in 1989 and 1990 only. The GT was available only with the 5-speed manual gearbox and geared to be a bit more aggressive than the 928S4, with it’s ZF limited slip differential and a little bit less equipment in order to save weight. In 1990 Porsche dropped the manual transmission option from the 928S4 so if you wanted to row your own, the GT was your only choice. Just over 2,000 928GTs were made before the final 928 appeared, the 928GTS. This GT for sale in Florida has traveled a fair amount of miles for such an exotic, but comes with full documentation.
Here comes another one of those impossibly low mileage Porsches similar to the Amethyst Porsche 968 we featured last week. The 928GT debuted in 1989…
