About the Porsche 928 Blue AUTOart 1:18

TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Porsche 928, in blue, reproduces the front-engine V8 grand tourer Porsche developed as a would-be 911 successor. Doors, hood and trunk open. This is a used model; the box shows traces of storage. A design and engineering departure that never replaced the 911 but built its own following.

The 928 broke from Porsche convention entirely: a water-cooled V8 up front instead of a rear-mounted air-cooled six, wrapped in pop-up headlight styling unlike anything else in the lineup at the time.

Construction and Opening Features on the 928

AUTOart's zinc-alloy diecast gives the 928 genuine weight, and the blue paint reads smooth and even across the car's long, wedge-shaped hood. Doors, hood and trunk all open, exposing the transaxle-equipped V8 layout that defined the 928's unusual front-mid-engine balance and a cabin styled with 1970s-era Porsche instrumentation quite different from a contemporary 911's. Panel gaps along the pop-up headlight housings and the wraparound bumper integration are tight, a genuine test of casting precision given how blended this body's surfacing runs compared to a more angular contemporary. This copy is a used model, box showing traces of storage; the model itself carries no such marks.

The 928's Contested Place in Porsche History

Porsche's plan to phase out the 911 in favor of the 928 never materialized, but the car built genuine credibility on its own terms as a refined, high-speed grand tourer. For a Porsche collection built beyond the obvious 911 focus, the 928 tells a genuinely different engineering story from the same manufacturer.

Displaying the 928 Alongside Other Porsches

Set beside a period 911, the 928's wedge profile and pop-up lights make the design divergence obvious at a glance, a useful contrast piece for any Porsche-themed shelf.
