    I know test mules were disguised many ways, but that was a truly ungainly looking 928! The shot of the entire drivetrain on wooden horses is fascinating. Are these shots dated?

    Porsche did. They are disguised test development vehicles for the 928.

    These are very early 928 prototypes, around 1973/74.
    The pictures are from the book "Project 928" which is a must have to understand the conception of the 928.

    Before them, there was a MB 350 SL based mule and an Opel Admiral, used to work on the Weissach rear axle and three modified Audi 100 Coupes.

    The Opel had a second steering wheel on the back!

    One of them survived. It was displayed many years ago in a museum.

    Was Mr Rohn still working during the 80's? I ask because I try to learn what happened to some early 928 CS's that were maybe scrapped by the factory, around 1987/88.

    From my point of view I am interested in the preparation of "the sheet" in these vehicles with reference to the preparation of my car. Not wanting to distort this post ... I'm going to investigate mules It seems like a fun post. Thank you all for the information!!

    ¿Seguía trabajando el señor Rohn durante los años 80? Lo pregunto porque trato de saber qué sucedió con algunos de los primeros 928 CS que tal vez fueron descartados por la fábrica, alrededor de 1987/88. [/ QUOTE]
