During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

One of the greatest cars ever built and completely underrated.
all 80s 90s Porsches have that satisfying kachunk of the doors. The new cars sadly don't.
It's like a breath of fresh air to see a classic car review on this channel in such a long time. Please keep these up as this is main reason I first subscribed to this channel back in 2011. Although I understand that you need to review the brand new models to keep everybody happy, it's nice to have variety with these vintage classics mixed in as well.
I'm not a Porsche guy, but even I like this car.
I always kinda figured them to be a little like a euro version of an American car that's rwd and v8(camaro , mustang etc)
I don't think they have a US equivalent. The US doesn't really make full GT cars on the same level that this car was at the time it was made. A modern car that's pretty similar is a Maserati Grantourismo. A pure grand tourer.
Charles Earle
It depends on your definition of GT. If you're going for the 'relatively quick, somewhat sporty, and comfortable', you do have a few GT-ish American cars, like the first generation Buick Riviera, which handled well for the time, was quite quick, while also being prestigious and a bit on the expensive side. And, although front wheel drive, the final generation Cadillac Eldorado, as well as the rear wheel drive '88-'92 Lincoln Mark VII and the '93-'98 Mark VIII could be considered entry-level GT cars, the Mark VII especially, as it had like 280 horsepower from a 4.6 V8, rear wheel drive, and was quite comfortable and modern for the 90s (especially compared to other American cars of the time).
If anything, I'd say muscle cars are sort of the US-version of the GT-concept, although performance in a straight line is more important than outright handling. They're also a lot cheaper, but also don't offer the same level of prestige or fancy equipment or nice interiors.
Sedan57Chevy You have a good point. To me, GT implies luxury. Muscle cars are comfy and fast, but ultimately unrefined. Of course the US has made some good GT cars, but none were really quite so good at it as the 928 was when it was made. The GT cars out of the US today are nothing to scoff at, they're really nice cars.
I love how you've done 3 in depth reviews on the 928, 928 S, and now the 928 GTS. You seem to like this lol.
It's nice to see an older Porsche again. I love older Porsches. This is probably one of my favorite older Porsches out there. Awesome review as always and don't forget, you're awesome!
Hell yeah.. back to the old school cars. Love this review.
I love your reviews ... very thorough!!
I always wanted this vid!! Thx sooooo much For this vid! I owe all my car knowledge to you.
Good video. Always loved the 928, still looks fresh now.
Nice vid Kyle watching you since 2000subs awesome ...
I’ve always loved the 928.
Last time I watched one of your videos you only had a few thousand subscribers, well done on getting to this number, well deserved in my opinion.
That was awesome and quite helpful.
Thanks.
nice video klye ! your giving us information about cars keep it up man hope u got 1milion subscriber soon !
Thanks Kyle... brings back memories of the MY 1982 I owned last few years. I was forced to sell her due to financial issues in my life at the time (the car was a money pit)..my what a ride she had even for a 1982 model. So sophisticated.... flat out comfortable and reassuring. So many quirks in the electrical......I sorted all that out and magically she needed some love...everything worked ...Power everything to include sunroof on mine!!I miss that car. The early models were handicapped with the L-Jet fuel injection. Parts hard to find.
oops meant to say also the interiors from 1995 to the earlier years same switches on the dash pod, same on the console dash/console.. same tilting dash pod...ahh
Niceeeeeeeee!!Been a long time since ive seen one of this!!Thanks Kyle!!
I've always wanted one of these. My father had one when I was a kid. That car was no joke.
Jeremy Clarkson's favourite Porsche. How remembers all of those challenges he showed up with one of these? Ahh, how I miss Top Gear.
For real
blackboard paint xD
I miss it sooooooo much 😢😢
POWWWWER!!
POWWWWER!!
You get a like SaabKyle04!! Love older Porsches
That is a beautiful and clean 928.
Great video! Love this car I really want one.
My dad has a 1989 928 S4 with the rare "Coral Metallic" exterior paint and "Red-brown" leather interior (I think that's what they called it- Porshe had 2 brown interior choices and ours is the less common color) with the 5.0L 32V V8 engine. Ours is a rare/uncommon color combo that actually looks sharp and what a beast this car is on the road..... And it sounds soooo sweet revving it. :D Plenty of power. Gorgeous car that not many people remember because the 911 gets all the fame and glory, and the 928 gets left in the dust..... I had no idea the 928 was $120K+ dollars in today's money! :-0 Good thing we bought ours used in 2003.....Great review, Kyle!
No way. here in Australia where the cars are dear the 928 sells for 14k to about 70 for a GT. MAYBE a GTS might go for more but doubtful.
Ryan Emery nice how old are you and where are u from ? It's nice to find other people who are interested in the 928. My dad also owns a S4 a GT and a GTS.
Good job Kyle! Keep it that way !
I can't even believe the levels of kickass this review is gonna be!!!
great effort man, keep it up! ... cool car
One of the most unique Porsches EVER!
Really? How? It resembles the 924 and 944 way too much to be considered unique imo.
+Rottensteam Very very true. My first thought was that the body lines resemble the 944 quite a bit.
The pop up headlight of the 928 make him unique, and the reard end. Maybe the 924 and the 944 have the same lines and shape, but they're not near the 928.
Ver similar, the only point you've made of the cars uniqueness are the headlights.
all the rear end is different from the 924/944. Well, and the front bumper too. Also, the 928 has a more round shape on his side view, while the 924/944 are like squares.
The 928, especially the GTS is such a nice car! Although it's very much underappreciated by the Porsche Community... But I mean... just look at it! Such a nice classic design...
First clean sheet road car!!! YES!!! Absolutely true and often overlooked! Great cars! I still have 8 of them! Used to have 12!
Real Nice Video of my Favorite Sports GT Car!... And as of everything, the Last is always the Best... 👍🙂⭐⭐⭐⭐
Wow! A wonderful review of an amazing car! This was Porsches first go at a clean sheet design and as they usually do, they knocked it out the park. Never mind it's short sighted critics, the fact that this design survived through the 70s, 80s, and well into the 90s with simple updates and power increases speaks for itself. It's ability to handle all of those increases in power and displacement is also a testament to the advanced engineering that went into creating the original version. Pictures rarely do these cars justice, but when you see one on the road your jaw is likely to drop! Also, if you look at the design and the specs of the 911 currently, you will see that it is steadily morphing into a revised 928! Porsche returning to its original in-house design! Gotta love it. 😜
Fantastic review on a classic car!
Still have this car in my garage! Love this thing.
I would totally own one of these today...always loved the 928 since high school.
Great in depth review
I have a 1986, it's great to see another video about these fantastic cars
That car needs a really good paint correction! But who does not love a GTS? Hell I have 3 of them and had 4 up till last year when I sold my '94!
It took me owning this car to realize why the 911 is a much better car. The 928 was my dream car...until I bought one. It looks cool as hell, but that's about it. I can honestly tell you this is one of the most fire prone cars ever made. That's why you don't see them on the road. Even in the 90's, when me and my friends would go to rebuildable car yards to see what they had, there were always 928's in those yards burnt to a crisp. The rubber fuel lines in the engine bay rub under vibration and get frail and cause fires. The engine bay on this car gets super hot, you wouldn't believe it until you open the hood of one of these cars. The computers are known for failing and when they do, they are notorious for dumping too much fuel into the cats and cause fires that way too. This happened to me, but luckily I had a hose right next to the car and put the fire out within seconds with minimal damage and was able to repair the wires it had fried behind the radio area. I was warned by my insurance carrier to be careful with this car as it has a history of being fire prone and the premiums were higher because of this and of course for being a Porsche.
The car is unnecessarily over complicated. The fuse panel on the car looks like something out of a space ship, The fuse panel is is about nearly 2' feet long with multiple fuses and relays with so many things going wrong at any given time. I joined a Porsche forum when I owned this car and while the 911 guys were driving their cars, the 928 guys were always busy fixing them and that's a fact. The parts are an absolute ripoff and these guys will hose you for anything they can because unlike the 911, the parts are rare and limited with little aftermarket options available making the car limited in regards to performance upgrades. There were hundreds of thousands of posts on the 928 forums for tech help fixing issues, with less then 30,000 911 posts. I remember that. The 928 was also very disappointing on the street. Its a dog, to be honest. The car is so heavy and has such tall gears, it has unimpressive takeoff power. The car wakes up on the highway for sure, but you will pay dearly for that highway acceleration in parts and countless hours of fixing this car if you can keep it from going up in flames. If you want a good, reliable, used Porsche and can afford a 911, go that route, you will be glad you did.
Lets not forget that 7 foot long timing belt and if that goes the valves smash into each other!
what a load of crap parts are easy to get. a 911 person talking shit.
Tommy Orr Jr valves hitting the piston?
Get custom fuel lines and the fire problem is fixed. I have several 928's and they have all been very reliable and a blast to drive. It's a different animal from the 911 but that's what's makes it different. Both cars have minor issues but with proper maintenance and enough cash they both offer a neck breaking hell of a ride.
I have owned a 928S4 and two 928 GTSs. I have never heard of a 928 catching fire.
I used to travel across Europe in my cars and I must say that they were extraordinary pieces of machinery.
The alternatives for high speed touring were the BMW 850, the Mercedes 560 SEC and then the 500SL and 600SL, cars I am familiar with.
Of course, you cannot neglect a 928 and must have it serviced regularly from a specialized Porsche dealer. And this can be very expensive; but there is no short cut if you want to own and drive this kind of car.
The 928, if driven hard, goes through its rear tires like butter. The brake pads and discs wear rapidly and must be replaced with original parts. The timing belt, water pump, steering rack, all need to be taken care of and replaced when necessary. Even the front windshield needs replacement after 100.000 km of high speed driving, because of the scratches.
Ball joints, bearings, torque tube need to be checked periodically. And never forget to check the dipstick on a 928!
You have probably never driven a well maintained, manual 928GTS and compared it to a contemporary 911/964, or other sports cars of the era (Lamborghini Diablo or Ferrari Testarossa, just to mention a few). It can drive circles around them.
The brakes are still exceptional based on today's standards, the steering is so precise that you can actually notice if the front tires are overheating, because the car understeers slightly. And the handling was always predictable, because of the 50/50 weight distribution and the rear Weissach axle.
One of my all-time favourite cars; thank you for this detailed run-down. There are two important further points worth noting. First, the 928 was voted 1977 European Car of the Year, the only sports car ever to have won this accolade. Second - and key reasons why it won that vote - it was the first production car to be fitted with body-contoured and body-coloured bumpers, also the first production car with (passive) four-wheel steering.
I wonder what's most old school: the car, of the reviewing / editing
always loved this car... beautiful design and plenty of room
Love her. Also -very good and infotmative film. Thank you for that
Finally a good view on this car, still my favourite classic porsche, always been lurking around these ever since i got my license... but still no garage to put it in :D
Great Video, my fave car, Thank you sir :D
Niceeeeeeeee!!Been a long time since ive seen one of this!Too bad its an auto!Thanks Kyle!!
Nothing says 90s like a big CD changer in the back!
Yep!
Indeed!
Nothing says 90s like Pop-Up Headlights! It'll never happen, but I hope someone brings them back.
80s and 90s yep. they were everywhere! 90s cars started to do away with them. Like the Supra, 300zx etc.
The Acura RL that we have has a CD Changer in the trunk
ooh, the 60fps feels so good man
Incredibly clean example. Love this car.
I saw that kind of Porsche a week ago! :) So good looking.
Yes!!! Awesome!
Brilliant piece of engineering.
Timeless..
you reckon? engine sounds rubbish especially at start up where it sounds like an old truck starting up.
I've loved GT sports cars ever since owning a gold 1979 928 in the late 90's. In three years I put 30000 miles on mine and spent about $5000 in maintenance. Maintenance was costly because often even small jobs required full removal of the engine!! The car was fun to drive and it was difficult to keep it under 100 mph on the freeway which lead to 4 speeding tickets and a 6 month suspension of my license. I then sold it in excellent condition for about what I paid for it. $10k.
It pays to be your own mechanic on these cars having owned 3 928 S4 I will agree with you that anything major and the engine does have to come out of the car but that for me, is why I enjoy working on these cars.
Thanks , love this car
That was a clean looking 928 gts.
My dad absolute hates Porsche. He hates the 911, 914, Cayenne, any roadster, convertible, panamera etc yet he absolutely loves the 928S.
Then he should like the 928, 928gt,928s4 and this GTS also.
he does indeed.
Lispy Joe back in 1998 I had a chance to buy a 928 s4 but chickened out because of the mint green color but wanted to Bragg that I had a 168mph car lol
archechme does he hate the 959 and the 911 GT1 (which i know he doesn't consider as ricer as literally no-one does).
archechme also, what does he think of things like Ruf and Gemballa?
Landshark! I haven't seen one of those since last week - when the Indianapolis area watercoolers get together for beer. 928s and 944s.
A professor at my university has one of these in blue, such a interesting and cool looking car
one of the best porsche back in those days ... still looks the car of this era ..Amazing !!
This car still makes my heart race....
Classic car right here
Finally an older car review
nice video hame memoris in our 928 gts in
I always loved this car.
Love your reviews, would love a review of the Alfa Romeo 159 TI
Very nice! I use to own 3 of these 928's, very cool GT car's. Not too many around anymore. Kyle, find a Porsche 924 turbo, those are cool too.
One of my favorites cars let alone Porsches.
who else is looking for the part where he shows how the headlights work 😂
1990s old model review! long time no see!
Kind of nice driving something without a glowing touchscreen in the middle of the dash! There is beauty in simplicity.
Great report! Just curious as to what are the dials at the rear of each door?
Saabkyle04 Was wondering if you could ever get your hands on an Equus Bass 770?
It was my fav for years.
Could you do a test drive on that 2001 Saturn sc1 you reviewed a while back
They were still making these in 1994?! I had no idea. I love the tail on these cars. Saw an 80s example at the local shopping center recently.
...It reminds me of that old 80's movie 'Risky Business' with Tom Cruise...👍🏻
Kyle, just curious why you don't demonstrate the audio systems anymore, even with your royalty-free music?
this car is so beaultiful
That is so nice, and so much memory's in one, I love the old line of houses. Where is that at,
Love this car
Notification squad in da house boii
Great video as always, Kyle, I do have a question though. While you were giving the engine specs, you mentioned that the engine had "eight main bearings, up from six". V8 engines have had only five main bearings and four throws to which the eight connecting rods were attached. Can you offer a bit of clarification, please? Thanks, and keep up the good work.
Thanks! That's just based on the research I read. I'm not sure if it was a porsche specific design or not, but I saw that a number of times.
Nice car!
that Porsche you reviewed is really rare is think
You look old here kyle 😁 Amazing video as always.
hey kyle! can you please do a review on the new 2016 toyota tacoma i would love to hear what you think of it and would like to know more about the truck. please do this i would really like to know an in depth review of whats it's like
nice choice
One of the most iconic automotive body shapes ever.
Nice review! Still waiting on a Bmw E30 review
dream car! ♥
One of the best GT cars made to date.
My 1986 with 180 k miles does 0-60 in 5.7 sec. because it has 5.0 32 valve with a manual transmission and it's about 300 lbs lighter than a GTS, top speed is slower around 155 mph. I can fit my 10 speed bike in it. Gets 15 mpg city and 22mpg hwy.
Hi from Russia ,good video ,Porsche good car.
The most underappreciated Porsche ever. Still waiting on Forza or something including this car.
I LOVE THAT CAR
Please review the third gen Toyota 4Runner. Great video as always.
Still a gorgeous grand tourer to this day!
I like those type of cars
Great job Kyle, could you review a 993 Carrera 4S?
Had one of these, best car I ever owned, stupidly I sold it in 2011.
hey kyle are you going to be doing an acura nsx (2017) review
Those headlights are so unique
