I've got something of a confession to make. Despite being an all-out movie buff, a Porsche fanatic, and a co-founder of Radwood, the festival that celebrates all things 80s and 90s automotive, I've never seen the early-career Tom Cruise vehicle Risky Business. I can't explain why, really, I just haven't ever gotten around to it. By all accounts …

The 928 has never had the sporting credentials of the 911, but is the penultimate variant one of the best classic Porsches to own? Over nearly two decades in production the 928's output increased from 219 horsepower to 345, and displacement from 4.5 to 5.4 liters. Changes to the model were more than simply adding power.

Toward the end of the seventies, it seemed the 911's days were numbered. Due to legal embroilments and a largely unjustified reputation, the rear-engined marvel was becoming feared by many, and the company was turning their attentions to a front-engined successor with a sweeter disposition.
