1986 PORSCHE 928 S4 5.0L V8 5MT (320 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The German car manufacturer introduced the evolved S4 model of the 928 in 1986. It was the fourth revision of the GT Porsche.

After nine years on the market, the age started to leave marks even on the beautiful Porsche 928. The car was introduced in 1977, and it was constantly upgraded to fit the customer’s needs. While it was more expensive than a 911, it was successful due to its improved drivetrain and shape.

From the outside, the 1986 model was enriched by Porsche with a new front bumper. It was extended downwards with a new apron. The slimmer bumper design and the integrated foglights in it made the car looks faster. In the back, a large spoiler was attached to the tailgate. The design team made a new rear panel, along with a new set of taillights.

The interior was even upmarket than the rest of the game with leather sport seats. The new sound system and the air-conditioning unit were changed as well. The engineers needed a higher transmission tunnel to install the gearbox in the back, in a transaxle system. The designers installed special trims on the steps and comfort features as standard, such as the AC unit and a premium sound system for the GTS version.

Under the hood, Porsche installed a 5.0-liter V8 engine, which was tuned for more power than before. It was paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The 310 hp engine was good enough to make the rear 245 tires to scream for traction.
