Porsche's Biggest Fail | Up to Speed

Thanks to CarParts.com for sponsoring today’s episode. Click here http://bit.ly/carpartsdotcom1 to check out their massive inventory of car parts.

As early as 1971 Porsche felt the legendary 911 was “as good as it was going to get.” That year, bossman Ferry Porsche ordered development of a car to replace the 911. Thankfully that didn’t happen. But Porsche built the 928 anyway, and it remains one of the most unique and influential rides they’ve ever built. Too bad the sales didn't match. Even so, the front-engined, V8-powered Porsche 928 became an ‘80s pop culture icon, and some of its innovative features come standard in today’s P-cars. But some bits are just plain weird. Join James Pumphrey and our distinguished guest, Porsche connoisseur Magnus Walker, to find out what makes the 928 special—maybe even more special than the 911.

Big thanks to the Urban Outlaw himself, Mr. Magnus Walker, for sharing his enthusiasm and expertise. Check out his Instagram, @magnuswalker for a better look at his incredible Porsche collection.
