Nardone Porsche 928

Restomod cars are becoming increasingly popular and Nardone Automotive, with the assistance of the Borromeo / Da Silva design team, has prepared a modified Porsche 928 that was produced from 1978 to 1995. It is designed to, at some point, replace the immortal 911.

“The elegance and the class of the 928 are the reasons why I’ve been obsessed with this car since an early age. Ignored by many, once you drive it you never go back! This combined with my passion for the restomod movement gave me the idea to create a perfect little sister for all the beautiful 911 resto’s out there. Today I’m proud to share with you the result of the last 3 years of my life: my interpretation of the 928, “it was written in a post on Nardone Automotive instagram profile.

The Porsche 928 is powered by a naturally aspirated V8 engine with 400 hp (298 kW) which is 50 hp more than the most powerful Porsche 928 which had 350 hp (257 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a six-speed manual transmission with a limited-slip differential. For a note, the standard 928 is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission.

The Nardone Porsche 928 is equipped with adaptive suspension, significantly larger rims made in a retro design, carbon body panels, LED lights and a modern multimedia system compatible with various applications.

The first copies will hit the market in 2024, and will be premiered at the Goodwood Speed ​​Festival in the UK starting on June 23rd.

45 years of Porsche 928 with V8 engine

It has been 45 years since Porsche premiered its 928 model. It was in Geneva in 1977, when the world witnessed the birth of the first luxury GT under the Porsche cap, which brought something different from the Porsche 911.

The first-generation Porsche 928 is powered by a front-mounted 4.5-liter V8 engine with 237 hp (177 kW) and 268 lb-ft (363 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a five-speed manual transmission.

It is less well known that Ferdinand Piëch then advocated a V10 engine based on two of Audi’s five-cylinder engines. The car was produced until 1995. The latest generation Porsche 928 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 five-speed manual transmission. It is mounted on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 225-45-17 (front) and 255-40-17 (rear) tires.

After production of the 928 model ended, the Stuttgart based company no longer produced V8-powered cars until the first-generation Cayenne in 2003.

Porsche will be offering V8 engines for a while, and the chances of getting a successor to the 928 are minimal.

13 neglected Porsche 928 models

Maybe the Porsche 928 isn’t a favorite model of fans of the German brand, but no one likes to see neglected cars falling apart. This is exactly what happens in the case of the 13 units of this model.

The neglected Porsche 928 models were found on a property in the United States. The cars fall into disrepair over time, but the owner does not worry about it, stating that he does not want to restore them, but neither does he want to sell them. The property is covered by surveillance cameras to prevent theft of cars or their parts.

The Porsche 928 was produced from 1978 to 1995, which is a rather enviable period of 17 years. It is a sports car with a front-mounted engine, which has had some success in the US.

The Porsche 928 was powered by four engine types:

  • 4.5 liter engine with 237 hp (177 kW) / 219 hp (222 hp; 163 kW) in North America, and 268 lb-ft (363 Nm) of torque;
  • 4.7 liter engine with 296 hp (221 kW) / 229 hp (167 kW) for North America only;
  • 5.0 liter engine with 288 hp (215 kW) for North America;
  • 5.4 liter engine with 345 hp (257 kW).
