Is Porsche About To Make A 928 Successor?

Rumour has it Porsche is cooking up a GT coupe to succeed the old 928, along with a Cayenne coupe
Is Porsche About To Make A 928 Successor?

You can’t help but feel sad that the legendary Porsche 928 was never replaced. The Panamera may be a kinda/sorta successor, but unless it’s a coupe, it just doesn’t count, does it?

However, it looks like the 928 is about to be resurrected properly for a 2019 debut, reports Auto Bild. Panamera-based test mules have been spotted already, sporting what look to be ‘false’ rear doors. The German publication admits the name is a matter of “pure speculation” at this point - Porsche may not choose ‘928’ for the name, perhaps opting for ‘929’ instead.

A big coupe would be something of a surprise from Stuttgart, but as evidenced by the Sport Turismo, Porsche is keen to do the unexpected in these SUV-obsessed times. And speaking of SUV-obsessed, here’s something a little more predictable on the way from Porsche, according to the German publication: a Cayenne ‘coupe’.

Imagine this, but with less headroom for rear-seat passengers...

The likes of the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLC coupe are among the most nonsensical of all SUVs, but that doesn’t stop people buying the things. Porsche’s take on this weirdly successful SUV sub-genre is expected to appear later in the year.

No prizes for guessing which of these two future Porsches has a place in our fantasy garage…

Pop up headlights would be an awesome thing for it to have or pop downs like (insert list of cars). However, I once had a nightmarish thought of a Lamborghini Muira with pop up headlights from the 928.

That looks a bit too much like a Ford….. and has two too many doors for either of the rumors…

Looking forward to the Cayenne coupé. A 928 successor is good too.

Am I the only one who realized that Mazda used to make a 929 so Porsche couldn’t use that?
