It's a CS, same car as the GT only stripped of much of the insulation, excess options and weight. Available only in Europe.

I think this one was used as a press car in europe, and was featured in all the car mags at the time, it may be a CS proto.

No rear wiper, no pass side mirror, clean....

As it has BB plates its one of Weissach test cars and not part of the normal marketing department demonstrator fleet which use Stuttgart S plates.

Porsche pulled a weird stunt on the combination of the Club Sport and US market cars in the 928 Workshop Manual.

See the attached picture.

It shows the following:

- A 928 front section post the 1987 design revision
- No side strips (M418)
- The Club Sport decal
- Flat dish wheels
- The US configuration of the sidemarker (the euro configuration has the indicator behind the front wheel arches and no indicator in front of the arches)

So what car is it ?
