In 1978, Porsche began production of the luxury 928, with the intention of replacing the 911. One example of the 1995 Porsche Perlglanz 928 GTS made for the U.S. market is returning home.

It is Porsche’s first production V8-powered model and its only coupé powered by a front-mounted V8 engine. This Porsche 928 is the last ever produced and best equipped. It was painted in Perlglanz, and it is interesting that the owner of the car also received 5.2 gallons (20 L) of paint. The body of the car is made of galvanized steel, while the front fender, front bumpers and hood are made of aluminum to make the car lighter.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in green leather. There’s also a custom deep-pile plum carpet, as well as violet leather upholstered trim, steering wheel, instrument cover, door handles, vents, seat adjustment switches, speaker covers and ashtray covers.

The Porsche 928 GTS is powered by a 5.4 liter V8 engine with 345 hp (257 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission (optional 4-speed automatic). It reaches 60 mph in 5.4 seconds with a top speed of 171 mph (275 km / h).

The 1995 Porsche 928 GTS was purchased at Champion Porsche, Florida, for $ 184,938. The current owners, Flüssiger Alexander VanDamme and his brother Sigmund VanDamme, have been searching for the car for years. They found the car in France, and it is not known how much they paid for it.
