The Porsche 928 is one among the brand’s funniest looking cars ever, with a rounded rear and greenhouse paired with an extended, low nose that features uncovered pop-out headlights, giving the automotive a lovable frog-like look. Porsche sold greater than 61,000 cars from 1977 to 1995, and the 928 has change into one among its most beloved models. At RM Sotheby’s upcoming Paris auction, which kicks off Rétromobile week and the European auction season, possibly the rarest Porsche 928 of all of them goes up on the market.

Porsche’s Latest Concept Is The Sexy Electric EV HyperCar Of Our Dreams

This 1989 Porsche 928 GT ‘Flachbau’ is the one 928 ever produced with a “slantnose” front end fitted by the Sonderwunsch team, the much more special arm of Porsche’s Exclusive division that creates custom specs and designs for patrons. The slantnose was a fairly popular and iconic option on the G-body 911 (and the 964 that got here next), with some having normal pop-up headlights and others getting 928-style exposed lights.

Truthfully, the Flachbau front on this 928 is giving uncanny valley. The one difference by way of design is the fitment of traditional pop-up lights — the front bumper and hood and the identical as a standard 928, and the front fenders are otherwise unchanged too. Especially because that is the just one without it, I’m so used to the 928’s froggy face that the Flachbau just seems improper. Like, it looks good and awesome, nevertheless it’s a bit unsettling.

Along with the slantnose, this 928 is fitted with special options like more aerodynamic side mirrors, deep-dish wheel spacers and wider rear fenders and side skirts. Only 2,078 928 GT models were made, with the GT getting more power and standard equipment.

What makes this 928 especially cool is that it’s being sold by the unique owner, who custom-ordered the automotive almost 35 years ago. On the time of listing the 928 Flachbau’s odometer shows 35,912 miles, though the odometer was replaced in 2003 when the automotive had 7,146 miles. RM Sotheby’s is estimating the sale at €180,000 to €280,000, but relating to a one-off Porsche, you never know what is going to occur.
