How we verify Porsche 928 performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Porsche 928 trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Porsche 928 performance FAQs

6 questions
The quickest Porsche 928 on record is the 1990 Porsche 928 GT Coupe, which runs 0–60 mph in 5.2 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 13.70 seconds at 104.0 mph.
The slowest recorded Porsche 928 is the 1982 Porsche 928 Coupe, which takes 7.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 15.77 seconds in the quarter.
Averaged across all 11 verified runs, a Porsche 928 reaches 60 mph in 5.99 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 14.38 seconds at roughly 98.4 mph.
We have verified test data for 7 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.
Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Autocar, Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.
0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Porsche 928 can do, not a single marketing claim.
