  Porsche 928 Carrera GT
Porsche, with an eye firmly fixed on the future, penned a new, less idiosyncratic design and dispensed of, at a stroke, the 911's Achilles heels of rear- engined layout and air-cooled cylinders.
Porsche had widened their choice of cars - you could choose a hooligan 911 or a big soft smoothie 928 but, people being people, there was always going to be a perverse few individuals who required either a softie 911 or a hooligan 928.
Porsche, as ever, were only too willing to comply and out of the darkest bowels of the factory came the Carrera GT which was then the rarest, fastest, most uncompromising 928 on the planet.

 Porsche 928 in miniature
Why the 928 failed is difficult to fathom since its specifications abounded with glittering technological marvels and the level of its engineering was so superior to most of its contemporaries that it had few legitimate rivals.
Fortunately for the 928, it is now finally being allowed to break free of all the undeserved labels that were applied to it so many years ago and in, some circles, is even becoming somewhat begrudgingly recognized as a true classic.
Surprisingly, the end for all of the now "classic" front-engined Porsches arrived as recently as 1995 when both the 968, which was the ultimate evolution of the 924 platform, and the 928GTS, the final, overweight, spoilered derivation of the original design, both met their mutual demises.

When people look at you when you’re driving a 928, there seems to be an assumption in their eyes that you’re having a wonderful time.
This spaceship aspect to the 928 is, of course, in stunning contrast to philosophy of the first Dr Porsche, when he created the original Volkswagen Beetle.
After the nimbleness of the 944 S2 and the bursting performance of the 944 Turbo, switching to the 928 S4 was like climbing into a too-large, ungainly, and heavy-to-drive behemoth…but only for the first couple of kilometers.
