4-Door Concept To Be On Display at Pebble Beach
#16
4 door 928 at Monterey Historics this weekend
Current Porsche models will be on display adjacent to rarely, if ever, seen vintage models, no doubt drawing the attention of the thousands of car aficionados who descend upon Monterey each August. A blue 550 Spyder, owned by Jerry Seinfeld, and a privately-owned red 356 Super Coupe exhibit the same bloodline as the brand new Boxster and the seventh generation 911. The first all-wheel drive 911, winner of the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally, and still dressed in full desert gear, will join the latest Cayenne GTS. And, for the first time, the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, Germany has released one of only two four-door 928 concept cars from 1991 for public viewing, demonstrating the company's foresight of a four-door sports car long before the arrival of the Panamera.
The Porsche crest will fly over the former Quail Lodge in Carmel Valley from Wednesday, August 15 to Sunday, August 19 when the company will host invited guests to browse and experience Porsche's two- and four-door sports cars.
Porsche racecar owners who participate in the weekend's racing events are invited to stop by the Porsche Paddock Pub at the Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. A renowned 917K along with a one-of-a-kind Boxster and 911 will be on display in the garage-hospitality area, Friday through Sunday.

I have to agree with most of the other responders. The four door is kinda pathetic. The car that I would love to see in the "new" showrooms is the up-to-date 928 which works off of the Panamera but is a lot prettier.

Jim, good to see you posting bro! Hope all is well.
I had the chance to buy this car back in '02 for $25k! Saw a few years later that it sold at an auction for like $44k... Be interesting to see what it goes for this time.

What color is the car? Looks similar to Zyclamrot Metallic. Dennis, if you see the car please try and find out the color name.
Thanks,
Dan

What is fascinating about the car is that Porsche has been thinking about this concept for a long time. Waiting until they felt they had it right and the market was ready before introducing it.
The time and design was not right with the 928 as the base, so they held off until they felt it was right. Everyone acts like the Panamera was a new idea and came out of nowhere. Porsche has been thinking about this for a very long time.

Here is my original post regarding this car almost 10 years ago.

I guess due to bandwidth, my pictures have been deleted.
Neil Huffman, who was a car dealer with a nice collection of 356 models and a few other interesting cars, passed away a few years ago and most of the collection was sold.
