Porsche 928

EBay Find of the Day: Porsche 928 T. .. T Turbine

For the 6400 dollars that the current bidding round (4,140 euros at the exchange) is already difficult to find a Porsche 928 that you're not halfway between ruin with wheels and total loss, so I suppose that is not a bad price considering that the Today not only is almost new, but has a turbine Boeing 502-6 under the hood. The truth is we do not know how diantre could reach a jet engine, but it's turning the ignition key, and seems to be approaching the end of the world.

If a case live in a commune for the deaf (and you do not mind waiting the 10 seconds of the boot), this must be one of the biggest bargains that we have ever seen on eBay.

More info on the rumored Porsche 928

Although Porsche aims to increase its importance in the European industry with the acquisition of more and more shares of Volkswagen, not diverted its gaze from the competition for a moment, developing new products with which to entice drivers. The closest of all is the Panamera, which should arrive in 2009. The only problem is that Porsche does not have another model with which to share its platform for front engine, at least not until the new Porsche 928.

Now you count last year that the reincarnation of thePorsche 928 share 60% of its components with the Panamera, taking its production planned for 2011. Apparently, the development of the coupe would be inspired by the Bentley Continental GT, in turn derived from the Volkswagen Phaeton. The engines in any case would be unique to each home. Unfortunately aPorsche 928 should overcome the reluctance of executives of the Volkswagen Group, who fear cannibalize sales of the Continental GT model with a too similar in approach. We will have to wait a little longer to see if it finally materializes.
