Porsche did make one. I recommend pulling some data from this link

http://revivalsportscars.com/2012/08...ecrets-part-2/

Also I would not say that Carelli was the biggest. Newport design made more and made them better (that is the design that is on mine and it looks like the factory one).

Here are some words to coincident. Yours to use or tweak.

Cabriolet / convertible
Porsche chose not to develop a production cabriolet/convertible version of its 928. They did make a "one of a kind" "...most fascinating prototypes" (Achim Stejskal - head of Porsche Museum), but that didn’t stop aftermarket companies from producing their own versions. Many after market versions will produced and the most notable drove the final price to double the original sales price.

 

I think these should be something like:

928 CS (Club Sport)
The 928 CS was stripped-down limited edition version to reduce weight and increase performance. It used engine parts that would be introduced on the new 928 GT seen next year, and also featured a lightweight air conditioning unit. Its lack of soundproofing meant the engine made the cabin a noisy but enjoyable place. All up, the changes reduced the S4-based CS by 220 lbs (100 kg).

928 SE (S4 Sport)
UK only special model. Some of the enhancements for the CS and SE included different engine management, camshafts and performance-tuned suspension. Being a stripped down car, the 928 SE weighed in at 100 lbs (50 kg) less than a regular 928 S4. The CS and SE are considered to be almost like prototype models for the coming GT, which itself is like an S4 with the engine and suspension of the CS.

Keeping S4 in front of the name isn't needed and only makes things messy.

There is also problem in hp numbers. Some are in DIN while others are SAE.

 

Thanks, I've updated the text regarding all the points above. The engine power figures I got from Wikipedia. This page has had some good updating since I created the print which, according to my files, I originally created back in August 2013! I've gone through all the power figures and matched them to the Wikipedia info, there were only a couple of different numbers.

Should the SE be Sport Equipment and not just Sport? So it is labelled 928 SE (S4 Sport Equipment).

 

Both DIN and SAE are ok but it would make sense to use just one unit. DIN is perhaps little better as 300 hp and 310 ROW 16V S engines are known everywhere as having 300 and 310 when they infact should have 296 and 306 if SAE numbers are used for US model engines in same context. US '85-86 high compression ratio 32V S3 and ROW '86 low compression ratio 32V S engines are also especially difficult to get right. High CR has 292 DIN and 288 SAE while low CR has 288 DIN and 284 SAE. Now wonder those get mixed easily.

This depends who answers the question. I think its 928 SE for simplicity and it definitely says 928 S4 Sport in rear bumper. No S4 Sport Equipment anywhere except maybe some period magazine articles similarly as S4 Club Sport. Nowdays practically no one uses S4 in CS and SE context.

 

Thanks for the SE tip, I've changed it to say 928 SE (S4 Sport).

I don't know what to do about the engine power figures. I can't work out how or where to get a definitive list of DIN or SAE numbers.

 

Well if everyone is okay with how the print is now then I shall get them all printed and sent off next Tuesday.

 

English Wikipedia should have correct numbers. PS is DIN and hp is SAE. Then there's this:

 

The official name is "928 S series 4 with Sport Equipment"
This was used into the official launch press kit.

But 928 S4 SE, or 928 SE, is just fine.
I dislike "S4 Sport" because it could be confused with the CS and every 928 is a "sport" car.

 

Andrew, please PM me about a print showing only my 928. Many thanks in advance!

I have quoted hp first and kW in brackets on my model chart wherever engine power is mentioned.

 

Hard to see, pardon if it's my computer, but the rear spoiler on the GT looks body colored... should be black.

 

I think you are right about the GT Spoiler/Wing. Also another tiny detail in respect to all the earlier type rear spoilers is that they should be up right a the bottom of the rear quarter windows rather than slightly below them.

 

How about adding the only race winning, factory campaigned 928:

Thanks, I will make the alterations.

There's no more room for any additional cars in this format. I make prints with 9, 12, 16, 20 and 24 cars, but the more cars that are on there, the smaller the cars get. 16 is very optimal.
