The 928 was one of two major attempts Porsche
Porsche (Porsche AG, pronounced as poor-sha) is a German manufacturer of sports cars, founded in 1947 by Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche, the engineer who created the first Volkswagen. The company is located in Zuffenhausen in the outskirts of Stuttgart.
The first Porsche was the Porsche 64 from 1938. The second Porsche model, the Porsche 356 of 1948, was

The 924 The Porsche 924 was the first automobile sold by Porsche fitted with a front-mounted, water-cooled engine. (This arrangement is normal for other manufacturers, but unusual for Porsche.) Originally designed for the manufacturing company VAG to be a replacement for the co-branded Porsche 914, it was later released as a Porsche only design in 1976. A large number of components originated from VAG though, including the engine.

The 911 or nine-eleven is the most famous and distinctive automobile from Porsche. Released in 1963 (as the Porsche 901, before Peugeot’s complaints led to a name change), the car has a 6-cylinder air-cooled engine in ‘boxer’ configuration at the rear. The body styling was by Butzi Porsche, son of the company founder Ferry Porsche. Erwin Komenda, the leader of the Porsche car body construction department, was involved in the design. Many racing versions of the 911 were developed and the cars won numerous prestigious circuit races and rallies.

The V8 is a very common configuration for large automobile engines. V8 engines are rarely less than 3 litres in displacement and in automobile use have gone up to 8.5 litres or so. American cars until the mid 1970s almost universally had V8 engines, and many still insist on them.
The normal V-angle for a V8 is 90°. There are two classic types of V8s which differ by crankshaft.

The design of the 928 included a number of innovations. Including the weissach axle that provides passive rear wheel steering in certain off throttle cornering situations. An un-sleeved, silicon alloy engine block was another. Reducing weight and providing a highly durable cylinder bore.
Approximately 95 percent of 928s were delivered with automatic transmission, only 5 percent were manual. This may have been ue to the demographic of 928 buyers (mostly financially successful middle age or older men).
Despite appearances the 928 is capable of carrying a substantial load in its luggage space, especially with the (infrequently used) rear seats folded down. This made it far more practical for daily use or long trips than the 911.
The rear seats provided a little more space than the 911, but were still only really practical for small children for extended trips.
The design started in 1971, and sales started in 1977
