Automotive Firsts Introduced by the 928?
After having watched the video in this thread where the presenter stated that the 928 was the first production car to use covers over the bumpers and then seeing Erik's post where he pointed out that C3 Corvettes did it earlier, it got me thinking.
So which automotive innovations were done first on the 928 if any? I'll start by suggesting that the movable instrument pod was an automotive first. I have no idea if it is but I can't think of another car that did it off the top of my head. |
You forget about the thread you started in 2016? :p

This thread is really a subset of the old thread I guess. Essentially which of those 928 parts designed by Porsche where unique solutions never before used on a production car? |
Glove box?
Was the air conditioned glove box a Porsche first?

Adjustable radiator flaps?

That's a good one. I don't know the answer, but I had a 2011 Kia Optima Turbo (don't laugh, it was a great car) and it had that. I thought that was pretty innovative and I was really surprised afterwards to find out the 928s had been doing it way back then.

Tilting pod together with the steering wheel? |
PSD?

Does any other car have a wood fuse cover? I've also never seen "Oil OK?" on a gas-cap bib on another car. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen another car with a gas-cap bib. |
Deformable front and rear "bumpers" ?
