1992 Porsche 928 GTS in Guards Red – 5-speed manual transmission

The Porsche 928 GTS represents the final and most refined evolution of Porsche's large transaxle model series. With its 5,4-liter V8, distinctive Gran Turismo character, and superb long-distance capabilities, it is considered one of the most fascinating Porsche models of the 1990s. Rare examples equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission are particularly sought after, as they make the 928 GTS significantly more engaging to drive, more responsive, and more collectible.

The Porsche 928 GTS offered here was built on 02.06.1992 It is approved for the first time and presents itself in the classic color combination. Indian rot with black interior. It is a rare vehicle with 5-speed manual transmission and exceptionally comprehensive documentation. According to available documents, the car had a total of three owners: two owners in Germany and subsequently one owner in Sweden.

The early German history is well-documented through numerous records from the Porsche community. Invoices, maintenance records, TÜV/AU (vehicle inspection) certificates, and workshop documents exist from as early as the 1990s, including those from Porsche / Edgar Meyer Sportwagenzentrum Augsburg-Königsbrunn. These documents record regular work, mileage readings, and maintenance, including tire and brake work, timing belt replacements, 20.000 km services, work on the lighting system, chassis, brakes, and other technical components.

Of particular note is the extensive technical documentation from the later period of Scandinavian ownership. In 2021, a comprehensive engine overhaul of the 5,4-liter V8 was documented in Sweden. The corresponding invoice includes, among other things, engine work on the Porsche 928 V8, engine removal and installation, transport and packaging, fluids, coolant, sensors, and a new clutch kit. An overhaul of the manual transmission itself is not documented in the available records; however, the replacement of the clutch in connection with the engine work is confirmed.

After the engine work was completed, the vehicle was inspected again in September 2021. Documented were troubleshooting, cleaning and adjustment of the fuel injectors, further adjustments, and a test drive; the results were subsequently described as satisfactory. The mileage at that time was approximately... 218.574 kmBased on later evidence, the Porsche was driven less than 10.000 km after this extensive engine work.

The car's more recent history is also easily traceable. Further invoices from Porsche Center Son and AutoTech-Sport are available in Norway. These document, among other things, oil changes, air filter replacements, work on the air conditioning system, brakes, steering, vacuum and intake hoses, ignition, distributor caps, rotors, ignition cables, AC condenser, as well as other testing and repair work. This is therefore not a vehicle with a merely claimed history, but a 928 GTS with extensive documentation spanning decades.

The accompanying owner's manual also contributes to the exceptional quality of this vehicle. In addition to the Porsche 928 GTS operating manual, it includes a Touring Pass, Porsche service records, Blaupunkt Symphony RDS documentation, Siemens C2 telephone documentation, an Anti-Theft Radio Program Identification Card, price lists, and other period documents. These documents underscore the well-maintained and collectible nature of the car.

The equipment perfectly matches the GTS's status as a large Porsche Gran Turismo. Besides the rare 5-speed manual transmission, the car features, among other things, Cup Design wheels, a limited-slip differential, air conditioning, electrically adjustable seats, heated seats, an electric sunroof, a "Symphony RDS" radio, and telephone preparation/Siemens C2 documentation. The available price lists and equipment documents supplement the vehicle history and make the specifications verifiable.

This Porsche 928 GTS is therefore a particularly interesting vehicle for collectors and drivers seeking one of the last great V8 transaxle Porsches, who value rarity, a manual transmission, and a verifiable history. The combination of classic color scheme, rare 5-speed gearbox, comprehensive owner's manual, documented engine work, and a complete service history makes this 928 GTS a compelling representative of the last and most powerful 928 generation.
