QUITE SIMPLY ONE OF THE BEST PORSCHE 928 S 4 CARS ON THE PLANET -- One owner, lo mileage (77,000 actual miles in 23 years !!!) always garaged in a collection of Porsches !! No driving in the rain, ZERO rust, NO SMOKING IN MY CARS, meticulously maintained California car. What else can be said. This car was over $75,000 twenty-three years ago !!! At that time it was the fastest production car in the world ... This is a lot of car for a small amount of money. Porsche all aluminum V-8 perfection now seen in the Cayenne and Panamera. The value in these S4's is on the rise and should continue to rise. 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 subleties 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. 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.
