928 is back<\/a>. In a small number, however, and not as an official Porsche product – but as a so-called restomod (composed of restored and modified, i.e. a renewed version of a classic).

Among other things, the LED front lights are now fixed to the body, the 18-inch wheels are reminiscent of the original manhole cover rims, which were 16 inches at the time.<\/p>\n
Inside, the driver and passenger luxuriate in rich leather, gaze at ’80s digital-style displays while simultaneously pairing their smartphones with the new built-in infotainment.<\/p>\n
Technically, the 928 from Nardone relies on the classic eight-cylinder V naturally aspirated engine, which is now said to deliver 395 hp. Originally, the top version reached 350. There is also a suitable modern engine control unit and a six-speed instead of a five-speed gearbox. A limited-slip differential, stronger brakes and adaptive steering as well as an electronic damper system were also installed as part of the complete renovation, so that the classic should feel like a new car on excursions. The first copies will be delivered in 2024.<\/p>\n

But while this became a legend, the 928 did not get a successor after its end in 1995. It’s a pity really, because with its pop-up headlights and the striking rear end, …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":70633,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[96],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70632","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automobile"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70632"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70632\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70632"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
