hello All,

I was looking around ebay when I found a 1980 928 that the owner claims to have 500 hp. It states that the engine was built by 928 International. Below is the description and the link:

"This car is one of a kind. Heres why. This Porsche is equipped with a specially built engine from 928 international in California. This engine is a bored and sleeved European 5.0L S4 engine. The engine was said to be rated at 500hp, but i never had it dynoed or raced. When you drive it sure feels like 500hp! I have all documentation and repair records to prove this."

interesting...quite the sleeper IF true... because it sure looks stock

Roger

It would be a heck of a deal if it's true...or a real let down if it's all "creative" advertising.

Didn't know 928 INtl. built motors.....only sold them.

Shane

Maybe he missed the "2" on the 10key and hit the "5" instead.

Mark Anderson

That is true. I looked up our sales history on motors sold in the state of PA and we only sold 2 in the past 6 years. One was a euro short block and the other a stock 82 usa. It also looks like stock usa intake which I do not know how it could breath enough for 500 hp or even 400hp.

That is one odd Euro S4 single distributor motor.

Even if he did have the motor built with an s4 bottom end, it would still be nowhere near 500 horsepower...

Heck, you could have a complete GTS engine, and it still would not be making 500 horsepower.

Giovanni

At least the seller is not claiming "special factory modified engine with 500 hp".

hacker-pschorr

Oh, sure, like you are some online guru that would know something like that

I love ads like this. I took someone for a ride in my 79 track car (225rwhp so nothing real special it does have wide open pipes though, sounds fast) - he's now telling people my 928 is the fastest car in the world. Oh well.

another one with the "speedo just quit working so I replaced it, but I swear the milage is........."

It must have a K&N airfilter.......yeah,,,,,,,,OH and 105 octane fuel

SharkSkin

It's the rare 16V S4 motor....
