If you’re looking for something that combines luxury and speed in one package, you don’t have to look too hard today. Maserati is back in the game with two four-door models, Mercedes-Benz is cranking out AMG sedans at a good clip and even Porsche jumped into the segment with the Panamera. But before the Panamera, the Porsche 928 made a name for itself as the penultimate choice for those in need of fast, executive transport. Sure, it only had two doors, but it had plenty of space and loading practicality for a long distance weekend jaunt along with modern day levels of oomph from the V8 up front. This 928S4 for sale in California was originally purchased in New York and has been lovingly cared for over the 55,000 miles it has covered.

The 1989 Porsche Speedster we featured back in January is back up for sale. Will warmer weather entice a buyer into this rare 3.2 Carrera based variation?

2 CommentsI’ve spent a fair amount of time talking about how the 944 – especially the Turbo and S2 – have seemed to remain one of the best values in German motoring; on paper and in real life easily the match for their more popular 911 friends, they’re generally available for a fraction of the entry price into the much more air-cooled world. However, there’s another way to travel in Porsche style as well; the car that was intended to replace the 911. A revolutionary design in the 1970s that still looks remarkably fresh today, the 928 is a supreme grand tourer with plenty of power, a fantastic sound track and a tremendous amount of presence and personality. While it’s a very different character than the 911, they’re well built cars that don’t get the attention that they should. If you’re an enthusiast, that means you can pick up a great example on a budget – at least, for now:

Comments closedEarlier in my Ruf-modified 930 post I asked if you needed an original version of the car. Well, I’m at it again, this time with a car modified to recreate an awesome version of the 993 Turbo – the homologated GT2 Turbo. With more power and lightened to only two-wheel drive with some of the best wheels ever fitted to a Porsche (in my opinion, anyway) the GT2 was an instant classic – so much so that Porsche has subsequently recreated it in 996 and 997 versions. But while the last few versions of the GT2 have been nutty ultimate-street versions of the Turbo, the original GT2 was really a race car toned down for the street; in that mold, today’s 1997 911 Turbo has been converted to capture some of that dual-purpose magic. The question is, does it achieve the magic of the original GT2?
