This Is A Porsche 928 Fit For Back To The Future

Jun. 08, 2022 5:42 PM ET by Chase Bierenkoven Sports Cars / 14 Comments If Marty McFly didn't drive a DeLorean, he'd be whipping in this instead. Porsche restomods are big business these days. Every wealthy gearhead and their mother is trying to find a shop to build them their dream Porsche 911 from 50 years ago. Great. Go nuts. Back then, Porsche had a solution for those of us that wanted something from Porsche that wasn't a 911. Now, we've got far more options, like the Cayman and Boxster. But back in the day, this was it. The Porsche 928, the brand's flagship V8 grand tourer. It has aged, of course, as all cars do. That's where Nardone Automotive comes in. The brand has pulled a Singer' and modernized the 928. If Marty McFly didn't drive a DeLorean in Back to the Future, we think this is what he'd have driven instead. It's perfectly retro-futuristic. Nardone Nardone Nardone Nardone Nardone frontrunner Carlo Borromeo has clearly leaned into the 928's design, while also cleaning things up to go with that oh-so-popular minimalist thing. There isn't a spare inch of material anywhere on this car. Updated elements include the wheels, lights, bumper, and bodywork. It hasn't changed drastically in shape, but it's a hell of a lot lighter, now made from carbon fiber. Those wheels, by the way, are updated interpretations of Porsche's OG 16-inch "manhole" wheels. Under the hood, things are done in a similar manner: update and give in to the rose-tinted lenses. The 928's original V8 engine is updated to produce roughly 400 horsepower, which is now managed by a modern aftermarket ECU. These cars were down a gear for a GT car in their day, which has been remedied with a new 6-speed manual box. Perhaps the most modern part of this car's engineering is the suspension, helped by a limited-slip diff. The LSD is now an active electronic setup, so you can get the best of both worlds. It's a GT car, after all. Nardone Nardone Nardone Nardone Inside, things are thoroughly more modern than the old 928. This one has Porsche's own aftermarket PCCM head unit. It's pricey (around $1,500), but it will run Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for those long drives. Of course, the rest of the interior has been similarly modernized, with a new shifter, as well as swaths of Foglizzo leather and Alcantara. We think we might spy some Recaro-sourced seats there too. Nardone says the first deliveries are going to happen in 2024. But we'll get a better look long before then. The firm says the 928 will make an appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in a few weeks time. Nardone Nardone Nardone Nardone

Porsche 911 Carrera Chase Bierenkoven Associate Editor Shortly before applying to law school, Chase decided to take a chance on pursuing his dream job: playing with cars and getting paid for it. Law school was just a means to an end, after all. His first writing job was freelance and barely paid his grocery bill. It quickly turned into a full-time position, eventually leading Chase to join CarBuzz in 2022. Chase now tests cars, and sits comfortably at the news desk when he's not in the driver's seat. In his spare time, Chase can be heard trying to play guitar, or out enjoying Colorado's natural splendor in his BMW M3.
