    This 928-4 was Ferry's 75th birthday present, in 1984. It now belongs to the Porsche Museum. Many funny 928 prototypes were made around 1986/1987 (4 doors, in two versions, and a convertible, by example.)

    Here is a picture in the right sense. It was wrongly printed into the book.

    For me ... that's a great image. Have I just destroyed?

    Yes, but he died perhaps two or three years ago

    He died in 2012 if what I found online is correct.

    And the company closed in 2002, it seems:

    I suppose that it will impossible to learn if the company scrapped a particular car, in this case.


    If the destruction of the last Audi 100/928 is confirmed, this is really a sad news for me.

    built in Weissach during the 70s onwards, started in Zuffenhausen with the 901 program. usually 3-4 separate departments were involved building them.

    umm does anyone know where they come from or where you can get better image quality? I am interested in seeing in detail the construction of the headlights and I have not found the original image. Do they belong to Porsche itself?

    The pictures are from Julius Weitmann, and it seems that Auto Motor und Sport owns the archives of this great photographer.
    I don't know how to collect the pictures from them.
