928 also used as a camera car for the race track portion of Iron Man II

"Taylor’s equipment list included a high-speed camera-tracking vehicle, a Porsche 928 rented from Propulsion in Paris, driven by Jean-François Dubut and mounted with VistaVision cameras..."

Found here midway through the 3rd paragraph

IMDB doesn't have it listed in their "cars in a movie" listing so I'll submit it if I can find the screen shot. I was so excited and can't believe I never saw that before.

I think this is what you are looking for:

After seeing the still photo it sure looks like an S4. Appears to have the rear wing and updated front.

928 on Miami Vice

So I am watching Miami Vice on CH 185 this morning. The plot is a 28 year old womans husband died, who happened to be 86 years old. She wants to buy out his company and needs 40 million to do it. She is left with 15 million. So she does a coke deal, no surprise there. Towards the end, you see a 928S drive up the driveway and park. The car was a dark color, not sure which though. Any one else ever see this one.

The wife was watching Stephen Kings "Thinner" over the weekend and it had a Brown OB in a couple scenes.

I think I found a winner. Great documentary title...."STRANGELOVE - MY CAR IS MY LOVER" I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the way he's fondling those exhaust tips. A little creepy.
