Introduction:

In the automotive world, certain cars stand out not just for their performance but also for their timeless design and innovative features. The 1985 Porsche 928 S is one such iconic vehicle that has left an indelible mark on enthusiasts and collectors alike. Renowned for its unique design, powerful performance, and cutting-edge technology, the 1985 Porsche 928 S remains a classic symbol of automotive excellence.

Design:

One of the most distinctive aspects of the 1985 Porsche 928 S is its elegant and aerodynamic design. Penned by Wolfgang Möbius, the 928 S represents a departure from traditional Porsche styling, featuring a sleek and streamlined body that seamlessly blends form and function. The pop-up headlights, smooth lines, and pronounced fender arches contribute to its unmistakable presence on the road.

The interior of the 1985 Porsche 928 S is a testament to the brand's commitment to luxury and comfort. The cockpit is well-appointed with high-quality materials, ergonomic controls, and a driver-focused layout. Leather-clad seats, power-adjustable features, and a state-of-the-art instrument cluster create an ambiance that balances sportiness with refinement.

Performance:

Under the hood, the 1985 Porsche 928 S boasts a robust 5-liter V8 engine, delivering an impressive 292 horsepower. This powerhouse of an engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission, providing an exhilarating driving experience. The rear-wheel-drive configuration and perfectly balanced weight distribution contribute to the car's exceptional handling capabilities, making it a joy to navigate through curves and straights alike.

The 1985 Porsche 928 S was not just about speed; it was also a pioneer in terms of technology. Equipped with advanced features like rear-wheel steering, which enhanced stability and maneuverability, and a cutting-edge suspension system, the 928 S set new standards for high-performance grand touring vehicles of its time.

Legacy:

While the 1985 Porsche 928 S was not as commercially successful as some of its Porsche siblings, its legacy endures through the passion of collectors and enthusiasts. Over the years, its distinctive design and innovative features have garnered a dedicated fan base, and well-maintained examples are highly sought after in the classic car market.

Conclusion:

The 1985 Porsche 928 S represents a unique chapter in the history of Porsche, showcasing the brand's ability to innovate and push the boundaries of automotive design and technology. Its combination of striking aesthetics, luxurious interiors, and high-performance capabilities make it a classic that continues to capture the hearts of car aficionados around the world. As we reflect on the automotive achievements of the 1980s, the Porsche 928 S stands out as a timeless icon that has secured its place in the pantheon of automotive greatness.


Delivered new to the USA, this S3 model has the 32-valve, 292 PS, 5.0-litre engine and the rare and desirable manual transmission. The car was restored in 2015 and appears in generally very good condition. With the exception of the front wings and bonnet, which appear to have been repainted, the rest of the paintwork is original. The cam belts were changed in 2016 new shock absorbers fitted in 2017. Finished in black with matching interior, this beautiful modern classic is offered with a French Carte Grise ready for a new EU registration. The car was not much used since the last big service some five years ago so although serviced regularly, we recommend recommissioning of the car prior to bringing it back on road.
