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).
