This is the first US 928 GT, to my knowledge, and the only one without sunroof.

It's really strange to see this car in this condition but it was well used by Porsche

“The new 928 GTS was already in development at the beginning of the nineties. Two engine concepts were created: a 5.4-litre V8 designed for performance at high revs and one with lots of torque. The nod went to the first variant and the torquier engine was installed in the noise-test car – which was, after all, perfect for the intended use. And the engine was a leftover one anyway.”

I would love to learn about the current engine of this car.

What do the notes on the steering wheel say?
