1987 Porsche 928 S4: Gorgeous, 38k Orig. Mile, 2 Owner, Sunroof 928 S4 on 2040-cars
Year:1987
Mileage:38079
Location:
Santa Barbara, California, United States

Offered for sale is a beautiful, 38k original mile,
mechanically strong, two owner 1987 Porsche 928 S4, finished is its factory
correct and ceaselessly tasteful Diamond Blue Metallic over Navy Blue leather. Ordered
new by its original owner in Columbus, Ohio, he would own the car for the
ensuing 24 years, always keeping it garaged and maintained and always using it
as a weekend driver. In 2011 he sold the car to an acquaintance, a gentleman
with a large Porsche collection that owned a regional automotive parts
franchise. The second owner had known of the car for years, as he’d sold many
of the parts it needed for routine maintenance. In the two plus years he owned
the car, he rarely put many miles it, and consequently the original 38k miles
showing on the odometer is correct and documentable via Carfax and the car’s
stamped service booklet. When the 928 first hit the showroom floor, it was
absolutely the car to have. As Porsche’s first seriously expensive GT car, the
928 drew the ire of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide upon its announcement. But as
soon as they realized it wasn’t built to replace the beloved 911 (just to compliment
it in an enthusiast’s garage), opinions changed. A big V8 Autobahn bomber, the
928 was far more civilized than the 911, boasting big comfortable seats, power
everything, usually an automatic transmission and all the Star Wars/Reagan era
futuristic design elements that a successful 1980’s man could ask for. From
Cannes to Beverly Hills, if you were somebody you would have walked into a dealership
and bought a 928 S4. Whether making a vacation trip from Milan to Monaco or Los
Angeles to San Francisco on business, the 928 was (and arguably still could
be), the car of choice, providing a wonderful drive quality without frustrating
your wife. It’s a true GT cruiser; extremely comfortable with a V8 that has
great torque, making smooth, enjoyable driving effortless. Furthermore, in
following with Porsche’s legendary legacy, the handling is great and the looks
are timeless. The Diamond Blue Metallic finish is in excellent
condition, deep, lustrous and marred only by the most negligible of
imperfections, none of which are significant enough to register in the
pictures. The car’s body is entirely straight, free of dings or evidence of
body work, and all of the panel fits and gaps are consistent and factory
correct. The glass and rubber is excellent original shape, as are the original
alloy wheels, wrapped in tires with plenty of remaining tread. The car’s
interior is equally as clean, the navy leather seats and carpets showing only
minimal wear. The power sunroof, power seats, power windows, power rear hatch
locking device and all of the other electronics work exactly as they should,
and the car retains its original, functional Blaupunkt Reno radio. For that
matter, everything on the car is stock – it hasn’t been modified in any way. The car is also excellent mechanically, feeling like a
tight, well-maintained, 38k mile example should. Despite its low miles, the car
was always regularly driven and serviced and always garaged and professionally
detailed. It starts effortlessly, producing a low rumble to announce its 316hp
5.0L V8. It’s smooth through all of the gears, pulling with incredible force
when asked. With its quiet cabin and even drive quality, it’s very easy to look
down at your gauges on the freeway and realize you’re doing 95mph when you
assumed you were only a hair over 70. Despite the fact it’s a front engine V8,
it’s still a Porsche and it performs with poise in the canyons as well as on the
freeway. We want this car to go to great home and would be happy to further
discuss it and answer any questions, so please feel free to email us or call us
at 805-202-4557. You can also visit us online at GoodmanReed. Goodman Reed Motorcars We’ve always had an appreciation for classic European cars and over the

we encourage and are happy to help facilitate personal or professional
inspections. But please do so before bidding, as the alternative harms our ability

Porsche 918 Spyder to birth stretched 2+2 version?
Fri, 23 Aug 2013Porsche is known for its ability to spin off a litter of variants from a single model, and according to a report in Automobile the 918 Spyder (pictured here) might not be spared the house trick. Having taken too many brains and too much money for too much time, company chiefs are said to be examining ways to get more for their development euro out of the supercar, and Plan A is apparently otherwise known as Plan 984. That would be a four-seater, rear-wheel drive supercar that uses a stretched mold of the 918's carbon fiber tub, keeping the V8 in the same mid-mounted place and costing around 350,000 euro.
That would be less than half the MSRP of its inspiration, but the details don't sketch out a car that's just half as good. Automobile speculates it would get something like 700 horsepower in order to best the coming 911 GT2, and about 440 pound-feet of torque. The 984 is quite a ways short of being confirmed; even though a full-size study is said to exist, it's like the 918 would need to become a bigger sales hit for the 984 to happen.
The 984's fortunes don't change those of the 960, the supercoupe Porsche is building to challenge Ferrari. Its potential specs haven't changed since the last report in January, power coming from a 5.0-liter, twin-turbo, eight-cylinder boxer engine with something like 650 hp pushing a curb weight of roughly 3,100 pounds. The means a suspected 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of 2.5 seconds.
J.D. Power study identifies top seats for your tush
Tue, Aug 29 2017File under News your fanny can use: The seating systems in the Ford Escape and Edge, the Audi A3, Chevrolet Cruze, Kia Cadenza, Porsche Cayenne and Toyota Tundra received top marks in a new J.D. Power study on seating and seat belt quality and satisfaction. The J.D. Power 2017 Seat Quality and Satisfaction Study asked more than 77,000 new owners and lessees of 2017 model-year cars and light trucks to rate their vehicle's seats and seat belts within the first 90 days of taking ownership. The survey is broken up into seven vehicle segments and scored on total seat problems per 100 within each segment, with awards presented to the seating system supplier. Canadian auto supplier Magna won three of seven first-place awards for its seating systems in the A3, Escape and Edge. Ireland-based Adient got top marks for its seats in the Cadenza and Cayenne. Lear Corp. won for the Cruze, and Avanzar Interior Technologies scored highest for seats in the Tundra. J.D. Power says its study is intended for automakers and suppliers with quality and satisfaction information to be used in developing and marketing seating systems. "But the results are just as interesting to a consumer audience," the company says. "After all, some drivers spend a considerable amount of time behind the wheel, and it's helpful to know which vehicles offer the most comfortable seats for those long commutes." Ain't that the truth. Ford was the only automaker whose seat systems, both manufactured by Magna, received top honors in two segments: the Escape for mass-market compact SUV and the Edge for mass-market midsize/large SUV. J.D. Power says it used 22 attributes to measure seat quality, three measures of seat belt quality and 12 to measure satisfaction. Awards were presented to the seating suppliers.

Former Porsche boss Wiedeking won't face criminal charges over VW bid
Mon, 28 Apr 2014Hedge fund managers have been suing Porsche for years now, alleging that the car company lied about its intentions during its failed attempt to take over Volkswagen, a gambit that caused them billion in losses. Over the same period, authorities in Stuttgart built a criminal case against former CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above, left) and Chief Financial Officer Holger Härter (right), filing charges in December 2012. When those fund plaintiffs lost their most recent court case, one of the dimming lights in the dark and receding tunnel was that the criminal investigation might unearth more evidence about Porsche's actions that could help the plaintiffs in pending litigation.
Bloomberg reports that another light has gone out, though, with a Stuttgart court dismissing the market manipulation case before going to trial because, as a court spokesperson said, "there wasn't enough evidence backing up the charges." When prosecutors get the files back from the court, they have a week to decide to refile, but unless they've been sandbagging evidence that could bolster the case, the only lights at the end of the tunnel will be those welcoming Wiedeking and Härter back to the world of legally unencumbered men.
