Beautiful low mileage car in excellent condition. Very hard to find 5 spd manual transmission as this is the last year of the manual transmission option in the s4. Car is finished in a guards red exterior and tan leather interior. Both are in excellent condition. Although the drivers side carpet is a little worn. This a 3 owner all original car, except for an alpine stereo system. Car has a new clutch master cylinder installed, timing belt is new within last 20,000 miles. It has a brand new Bosch battery. Both clutch and transmission shift perfectly. Car runs and drives 100 percent. All original body panels with vehicle ids. This car is simply awesome.Car will sell to highest bidder.NR. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks and happy bidding. photos: Jim Murphy's 928 S4 THIS WAS THE CAR THE WORLD WAS WAITING FOR -- the 5.0 liter 32-valve 928 Series 4. Boasting 316HP, redesigned front and rear fascias (it takes a very sharp eye to see the rear section was elongated slightly to improve airflow), as well as updated interior trim, the 928 S4 was the fastest 928 yet. Numerous other aerodynamic subtlies were employed to lower the body's coefficient of drag - the front spoiler was redesigned to allow air to pass smoothly under the car with the aid of a new aero belly pan; a set of grill flaps opened and closed depending upon speed and driveline temp. Radiator cooling was serviced by a dual, infinitely adjustable electric fan set. Porsche created controversy again with the S4's foldable matte-black rear wing spoiler. On later cars the spoiler was fixed in place. Astute observers will note the S4 features wider rear rims than before measuring 16 x 8. Computerized driver readouts were placed in the gauge binnacle in 1989 and reported on various operating stats such as fuel consumption and estimated time before empty. I do believe the driver and passenger underdash parcel trays were deleted beginning with airbag-equipped S4's. Rear passenger AC was another available option as before. The S4 driveline was upgraded with a larger-diameter single disc clutch replacing the sometimes problematic twin-disc unit of the 928 and 928 S. The 928 S4 also featured upgraded brakes using four-piston Brembo calipers, even larger rotors and pads, as well as ABS. One ride in an S4 and you'll see the need for such massive stoppers! As testament to the S4's supercar status, Al Holbert set two FIA world land speed records of 171+mph in a stock, catalytic converter equipped 928 at Bonneville - the same car which could be bought at any Porsche authorized dealer! Provided, of course, you had the wherewithal to have placed an order a long time previously - the sales furor over this latest GT from Porsche was not unlike the what we saw with the release of the Boxster. The S4 is an excellent starting point for the serious 928 enthusiast - 32v big HP engine, matching S4 'big-brakes', ABS, etc. Prices on the secondary market seemed to have flattened out as of this writing and may be poised to begin rising (especially for manual transaxle cars), though they won't reach the original list price of over $60k+ for a while.
