Did you know that the Porsche 928 is reportedly Porsche’s first fully in-house design for a production vehicle? Interestingly, this model was first developed as a potential replacement for the Porsche 911 as the company’s flagship model. The 928 was different from the 911 as it blended the performance and handling characteristics of a sports car while also offering the comfort, spaciousness, and ride quality of a luxury car. It was even described as a “Super Car” during the 1980s and this model saw 18 years of production starting from 1977.
