    Notice anything strange about this 928? Maybe something not quite right?
Click through to see what this interesting 928 has up it’s sleeve.


Neat right?

The 928 joined the 924 as the first Porsche  with a front-mounted, water-cooled engine, in this case, a 5.4-liter V8  unit producing 326 horsepower.  The transmission is placed in the rear  to balance the weight, and a Weissach rear axle was used with a new  suspension system to ensure excellent roadholding.  In 1986, Porsche and  AMG built this prototype.  A custom 928 four-door sedan,  this rare and unusual car was delivered to Heinz Prechter, founder and  CEO of ASC (American Sunroof Corporation), whose large automotive  aftermarket firm was headquartered just south of Detroit, and which  enjoyed a close relationship with the Porsche factory.  The workmanship  of this conversion is impeccable, being equal or better than the  legendary fit and finish of a new Porsche.  The interior is lined in  sumptuous burgundy leather matching the exterior paintwork.

 I never thought I’d be saying this about a modern day Toyota, but… Yes, please.
