A new 928?

Maybe a repost but there is an article about it in the March R&T too.


Exclusive: 2004 Porsche GT
Return to front-engined cars?

By Jeff Bartlett
With the introduction of the 2003 Cayenne sport/utility vehicle drawing near, Porsche is seriously considering the addition of another vehicle to its broadening range by utilizing its SUV mechanicals and Leipzig production facility. This would mark the first front-engine car since both the 928 and 968 drove off to the autobahn in the sky.

Initially, power would come from a 4.2-liter/337-horsepower V-8, with a twin-turbo 4.2-liter/449-horsepower V-8 being added later. Production of the stunning mid-engined Carrera GT may open up 10-cylinder potential. The supercar shown at the 2000 Paris Motor Show boasted 558 horsepower, enough to put it and possibly a GT in rare ultra-performance company.

Such a premium 2+2 GT would compete against the Jaguar XKR, Mercedes-Benz CL, and Ferrari 456. Production depends on myriad factors, including Cayenne success, Carrera GT production, and the economy. If conditions are right, Porsche will put its indelible mark on the premium coupe segment with a grand tourer for the 2004 model year.

Yes this article is old, but there is a new article about it in the new March 2004 R&T I just got today. I just could not find this new article on the internet anywhere yet.

I would love it absolutely, as long as it doesn't look like any other Porsches in the line up.

The successful Cayenne....and it is commercially....will no doubt encourage Porsche to build new models that arent 911 derivatives. Why should they leave the top end touring car biz to all the others.....it's time for a new 928 !!

The new 928 . 4 doors, right?

I like it. Looks like a luxurious sedan that could be competition for the BMW 7 series if it were to be produced. Any estimated numbers or figures ? I'm going to go search for more pics.
