The Porsche 928 S4 is one of the legendary sports cars from Zuffenhausen that garnered much attention during its era and beyond. This grand tourer was originally developed to offer a more luxurious and powerful model than the 911. The Porsche 928 S4 hit the market in the late eighties, combining technical innovation with exceptional design. The S4 variant of the 928 was built from 1986 to 1991 and featured numerous technical improvements over its predecessors. The designer of this extraordinary vehicle was Wolfgang Möbius, under the direction of Chief Engineer Ernst Fuhrmann.
