Nice colour combo, just right for a late 70s car

That seem stupidly cheap.

Looks gorgeous. If only I had £20k spare.

AI Overview

The Porsche 928 is known for its near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution, achieved through a transaxle design and the use of lightweight materials for the body. This configuration, with the engine in the front and the transmission in the rear, contributes to balanced handling and performance.

Key Factors:

Transaxle:
The 928 utilizes a transaxle system, where the transmission is located at the rear axle, connected to the engine via a driveshaft in a rigid central tube.

Lightweight Materials:
Aluminum was used for the bonnet, front fenders, and door shells to reduce weight and improve weight distribution.

Ideal Balance:
The 50/50 weight distribution helps minimize understeer and oversteer, resulting in more predictable and balanced handling.


Pity it's an automatic though. (The description on ebay is wrong)

It's an auction - the ebay listing is only a 'guide price' ...
