In terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation, the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928GTS was released was the price, which was amongst the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time was a problem, but in 2020 makes for a rare and incredibly desirable model.

Offered here is a Singapore delivered (C28), right-hand drive, 928 GTS supplied new by Stuttgart Auto Pte. Ltd. and registered on 6 January 1995. Specified by a British resident in Singapore in Polar Silver paintwork with Classic grey leather interior the buyer couldn’t leave his Porsche behind and imported the car back to the UK in 1999. From new servicing was carried out at regular intervals by the supplying dealer in Singapore then Porsche main agents in the UK up to 2009.

Our vendor carefully selected this example to become part of his collection in 2010 and since then the GTS has been enjoyed occasionally, carefully dry stored and when required service by the local Porsche specialist with a great industry reputation for Porsche of this era. Present in the history file is the original book-pack with original service book stamped up-to-date. The most recent service shows in July 2020 with an MOT completed at the same time. The current is valid until 26/07/2022. A speedo change to MPH is also documented by Porsche Centre Kent in March 1999 at 12,407 Km (7,593 miles).

The exterior of this example is exceptional and the interior shows only light wear as expected with a car from the mid 90s. The wheels are in great shape and fitted with correct premium brand tyres as you will see in the detailed images and video footage. On test, the car fired into life with ease and the engine sounded good and healthy. The accompanying history file includes the aforementioned book-pack, associated paperwork, old MOTs, the current MOT and current V5c ready for transfer.

Our vendor, a genuine classic car enthusiast, speaks fondly of trips in his GTS to Tuscany with the old V8 eating the miles with ease. Along with handsome lines and reasonable maintenance costs, these front engine V8 Porsche GTs from the 90s are becoming increasingly popular and difficult to source in such lovely condition.
