Many purists car these car heretical.  They were front engined and water-cooled.  Not only that, but they weren’t even concieved as pure sports cars, but rather as Grand Touring cars.

The 924 preceded it by a couple of years, but the Porsche 928 was different…   There would be no 928 Carrera…

I guess one of the reasons I’ve always liked these is a guy in the Porsche Club, when I first started Autocrossing, had a 928 with a killer exhaust.  That car made the most glorious sound.  The crowd would almost hush to listen to him run.  It wasn’t that it was loud, it was that it sounded like ripping burlap… ANGRY ripping burlap.
