Launched in 1977, the V8 front-engine Porsche 928 Grand Tourer received widespread praise as an engineering masterpiece and won the European Car of the Year award in 1978. The Porsche 928 was so advanced that it continued in production, but with increased engine power, for eighteen years until 1995. Porsche 928 includes a detailed history of the 928 with updates on each model, including the little-known Special Editions, always beloved by the factory in Stuttgart. The book includes details of all European, USA and Canada models and the 928's technical developments, and also looks at the highly refined V8 engine and the subtle body changes. The book also provides information on servicing and parts - useful for those who are considering buying what the factory now calls a Classic 928. Lavishly illustrated with full colour photography, including original Stuttgart photos from Porsche, this is the essential book on the Porsche 928.
