Deservedly so.. thats a very exclusive optioned 5-speed GTS right there.

Thats nearly all the leather options ticked (except the bezel on the seat controls), plus wheels painted to match.

Wonder if the badge on the rear bumper is factory? (assume its a Porsche badge?)

No, that's just a for sale price. No record until there is a sale, then we see what it is. The actual price record for a 928 was Derek Bell's prototype Club Sport which sold at Bonhams for $298,000 US dollars (including premium). https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/23596/lot/27/.

The interior reminds of the Progressive Insurance commercials.

Crazy leather work in this car.
But certainly a nightmare to maintain in good condition.

Not all that hard, It's likely never going to be sat in or exposed to the sun. Makes care a LOT easier.

Lovely car, but more of a museum piece than actual transportation.

Beautiful car. Love the color and white leather but that white dash and console looks so albino strange.

So are these all all factory options? I.e. painted wheels, wood bits, white center console, etc.? I don't know. Feels aftermarkety to me. And is that a CB radio in the drivers side foot well?

They all look factory to me with the exception of the radio. The wheels, leather, and wood have all been seen on other exclusive 928s.

Reminds me of the car trunk picture where a white pain can exploded in an accident.

Whoever uploaded the pictures went a little crazy adjusting the contrast, interior is more of a bone color.

The Exclusive Dept. at Porsche would do all kinds of custom work for customers with deep enough pockets. Everything white in that interior is covered in leather.

I can certainly appreciate the amount of craftsmanship lavished on the interior, but I don't like the aesthetic of all the white. The dash, console, pod and controls would look better in a darker color leather. 8f not black, color matching the lether on those items to the exterior paint and leaving the rest white would certainly have fit the 90s trends.

I bet they don't eat in the car on those long road trips...

Also, they do cars for shows and explain everything that can be done.
Here is such a car:

For my records, does someone know the VIN of the GTS for sale?

That is another crazy Swede from the Stockholm area who think he will make a fortune selling the car.
It will never sell for that price.
