- Thanks to CarParts.com for sponsoring today’s episode. Click here bit.ly/carpartsdotcom1 to check out their massive inventory of car parts.
As early as 1971 Porsche felt the legendary 911 was “as good as it was going to get.” That year, bossman Ferry Porsche ordered development of a car to replace the 911. Thankfully that didn’t happen. But Porsche built the 928 anyway, and it remains one of the most unique and influential rides they’ve ever built. Too bad the sales didn't match. Even so, the front-engined, V8-powered Porsche 928 became an ‘80s pop culture icon, and some of its innovative features come standard in today’s P-cars. But some bits are just plain weird. Join James Pumphrey and our distinguished guest, Porsche connoisseur Magnus Walker, to find out what makes the 928 special-maybe even more special than the 911.
Big thanks to the Urban Outlaw himself, Mr. Magnus Walker, for sharing his enthusiasm and expertise. Check out his Instagram, @magnuswalker for a better look at his incredible Porsche collection.

Funnily enough: My dad actually is in the Guiness Book of Records with this car, well the S version. November 7th, 1982 on the Nardo Ring. He was one of the drivers of the 24-hour highest average speed challenge. They`ve set the record of that time with an average speed of 251.4 km/h (156.2 mph) covering 6,033 kilometers.
That's so frigging cool!!
@@acarnivorouscat4549 he is pretty good at driving cars
That’s really cool!!! Kudos to your dad, man. That’s pretty dope.
Can your dad be my dad, too?
My dad makes horse cream at speed of 251.4 km (156.2mph) too
I’m sad there was no mention of the time that Jeremy Clarkson made us all cry. The time he talked about his dad passing away, and how he got to see his dad one last time, only because the 928 he was testing that week, was able to sit at 170mph comfortably for long periods.🙏🏼
A fascinating look at the true Porsche 928 lifestyle enthusiast. The Midnight rider... ua-cam.com/video/_am8DPam0gc/v-deo.html
Yeah man that one was touching
That really is a touching clip
For anyone who hasn’t catch up with the story, here’s the video: ua-cam.com/video/XiLc7GvmS_A/v-deo.html
If he talked about it then (a personal story), why in earth would they talk about it here, completely irrelevant, & redundant/repetitive
As a current 928S4 owner and having been around the cars since 1980 I can tell you this is one of the most informed “history of the 928” videos out there. It was refreshing to hear just how iconic and forward thinking this car was when it debuted. Car and Driver said at the time that it made the 911 look like an antique. They also later called it the “Titanic” of supercars, referring to its massive depreciation but that’s another story. Great that Al Holbert’s flying trap run was included in the video. The car Magnus Walker was exhibiting is a very early car, #88 and like a lot of 928s was in desperate need of restoration but he’s the right guy for the job. Kudos to a great video keeping the story alive!
I love that everything I’ve ever seen Magnus in he comes off as humble and lucky. Total creative genius and an icon with amazing taste and seems so down to earth.
This episode reminds me that "Up To Speed" is what brought me to watch the channel. I'm not complaining about the other shows, but man, I really love James doing this.
Dude, same and for real!
Can I third this comment? Without James I never would’ve got into Donut. The others shows are what I watch in between new up to speed episodes lol. Just being honest.
Said the same when I got the notification
Things got dark @ 12:30
Parents, hide your toddlers.
Isn’t that what Wheelhouse does?
I love how Uptospeed went from talking about cars only, now covers a wider spectrum like shows, to entire stories

I'm gonna be honest here, I actually don't like this :( I liked the old Up to Speed more because it was more simple and straightforward
Mother Fuckers rlly had a Nascar driver on lmao
FYI: car parts has really long shipping times currently despite their guaranteed 2 day shipping promise. They also do a really annoying thing where they break your purchase into multiple different boxes and ship them out during different times. This becomes a huge issue when you've just purchased a whole suspension replacement for your car, which is not OEM I may add, only to get each strut and shock assembly to show up at your door spread out by a few days in between. They took 3 weeks to get my whole order to me, not 2 days. And they don't have everything you might need, like a heated seat replacement for your car. You're better off scouring the junk yards for one of those. The prices were good though, but you're essentially getting off brand ebay parts.
The 928 will always hold a place in my heart. My dad had a manual 79 928 for around 10 years. It was the car I learned to drive manual on, the car I drove to prom, and also a car that Magnus drove! He’s since sold it and I miss it but the memories will be with me forever.
You know, just an idea!
You got a lot of fans. Why dont you (and whatever members want to) do an Up To Speed on yourseleves?
How you got into cars, cars youve had, how you got there, and where you want to be? I would be down for that for a next episode. Each chapter could be a different member or each member could get an Up To Speed on themseleves.
I like that idea honestly. Their choices of cars have fascinated me so I’d like to learn more about their tastes and likes and whatnot
Bart ....
@@zedaddy3530 man I haven’t heard from Bart in forever. I’m glad it was for a good reason
Yes!
This would be a really cool video, maybe a short series
Their biggest fail was my biggest win ever. Proudly owning a 928 GTS for 18 years now and it has appreciated by 100% during that time. It is still a great daily because it has a serious trunk and was built to last.
I had a rc 928s from radio shack as a kid. It was my dream car.
For you to see that appreciation you'd have to sell it though ;-)
Don't sell it, you have a museum piece no money could replace.
@@djp279 So true. But that's exactly what will never happen in the medium run. But well... It may pay for a nice electric seniors' cart when I'm old. ;-)
Having driven a 928, I would never call it a failure.
I graduated from high school in 1977. For over 20 years the 928 was the epitome of futuristic design. How many cars have ever looked fresh for that long? While the 928 was not the future of Porsche, it was certainly not its biggest “fail.”
Come for the story - stay for the epic production and storytelling!
The amount of hours that must have gone into this video... well done!
Even Jeremy Clarkson can stand by this car...pretty heartfelt story of him driving a 928 and how it afforded him to see his father before he passed 🙏🏻😌
I've never seen Jezza this emotional before that scene. Incredible
I remember seeing that episode, James and Richard made fun of him but Jeremy's reason was pretty touching
(╥﹏╥)
@@nothinghere7391 same! That scene really pulled on the heartstrings for me.

HORSE CREAMMMM
I even stopped the video just to look for it 😭😢😥
That ain’t cream
I've been a huge fan of the 928 ever since I first saw Risky Business as a kid. HBO will never know how much they impacted one young boy's life on that day. Though I didn't know about folley artists and how they make cars sound cooler in movies than in real life.
I own a 1983 black on black 5 speed 928 S with the 4.7 liter V8 , near perfect leather interior and BBS wheels. I had it supercharged at 928 Motorsport in Wisconsin . It is a very tight fast Grand Tourer and still turns heads and wins awards at auto shows. Not really too expensive to maintain .
Growing up I never heard anyone call a Porsche a "Porsha" until about 5 years ago. Now the internet will give you a firm reprimand if you say "Porsh".
The reason it’s pronounced that way is because of the guys last name…Americans have always said it as it is pronounced…but the name that the company is named after is pronounced “porsha”
I’ve just been saying porscha because that’s how the British and their accursed top gear show pronounce it lmao
Porsha is the only pronunciation of it. It's the only way to say it. It's a guys name. It's not like you can just mispronounce s guys name. Do you know how annoying it is for people to mispronounce your name all the time? 😂
Because Porsh is incorrect.
I have been on this earth 28 years and I have always called it a "Porsha" my dad's dream car is a Porshe 911 lol
Man, having Ryan editing these episodes has been the cherry on top!
lol
Whoever is editing this... holy shit!!!!! A little over the top
@@andrewc9790 just a little bit!!
@@andrewc9790 I love it
I forget how old the 928 is sometimes, you legit could’ve said “this car debuted in 1996” and I would’ve believed you.
funny because I think the 996 owns a lot to the 928. It's certainly a lot more comfortable, more technological yet faster and more powerful than any 911 before
Awesome discussion on the 928. Here's a fascinating look at a pure 928 enthusiast The 928 Midnight Rider
ua-cam.com/video/_am8DPam0gc/v-deo.html
It really does look ahead of its time for 1978. It's kinda insane
I’m going to rebel here and mention the car. The 928 was an electrifying design in its day and stole my heart. Besides the numerous design features, it was those Pasha checkerboards that stunned the senses. Long live the 28!
Checkerboards on LSD or shrooms. Like they hired MC Escher to design those interiors.
the visual references in this one run deep, and i feel the need to tell the bean counters that they’re a big part of why i enjoy donut. thanks guys, i see you.
I understood that reference!
Amen brother
Word
At first I thought you were talking the visual reference of the horse cream 🤣
Just say porch to fuck with em.
In the late '80's, I had a high school, neighborhood friend that her father had one of these in his garage. He never let his daughter drive it, no matter how many times she begged, and believe me, she was extremely spoiled. Anyway, one day I was over there and he walked out in the yard, threw me the keys and told me to drive him to the store. It was not a far, or fast drive, but it was an incredible drive for me at the time. Imagine a 17 year old kid sliding behind the wheel of one of these beauties. Man, I thought my head was going to explode, but I had to keep my cool. I honestly don't remember the year model of the car, I just remember looking at it every time I would go over there and the garage door would be open. Even with the car cover on it, that car looked cool as heck.
Lucky guy.
Had a similar experience with a high school flame’s grandfather. He had this wonderfully restored 66 beetle with a hurst “T” shifter. It was just a cool ride. I’ll always carry that memory with me.
You had a high school? Sick
In 1982 I was a junior in high school and my mother was dating this guy who had a 280ZX Turbo. He was going for a weekend with mom and he tossed me the keys. Mom was as surprised as I was. She said “What if he wrecks it?” He replied “I’ll get it fixed.”
I had a great weekend, I even got a date with someone I had no shot at. And to this very day I love the ZX, not the Z, but yes the ZX. I have owned two and would not be against having another, if the price is right.
The only 928 memories I have are from 1980, I got to clean the windows…I worked in a car wash.
Cool, but did you get to test drive the daughter in the backseat? 😂
The 928 was my dream foreign car all through my youth. I loved it well before it was in any movies, only adorning magazine pages. Risky Business wasn't very good, but I loved seeing that 928, and almost cried when it got dunked. I still adore it.

go for it
12:54 Monty python foot? That's a new one for this shows memes. Another epic episode. With him featured, I wouldn't mind an up to speed on Magnus walker himself.
Let's be honest we need more videos like this
Ayo you were first
Yes
Yee broo
Yeah.
Indeed
I acquired this car and turned it into a race car and ran Speed World Challenge in it. such an amazing piece of automotive history. it was also hit in the race by Derek Bell in one of the races (and he signed the dent in the front bumper afterr the race) , as well as been driven by Al Holbert.
loved that car, had an '87 s4 back in '89. multiplisticly orgasmic, especially for a 25 year old. I thought there shouldve been a 4 door version then. porsche finally listened decades later and made the panamera.

Great collab! I love how Up to Speed is evolving while keeping the fun factor that's always been there!

James is an incredible asset for Donut Media. Other than his charisma and humor, his strong suit is coming up with product ideas on the fly.
It would be nice to if he gave out the right information.
@@blackericdenice set an example of bad info by donut. It’s the only way to prove your point

@@slendy3864 you must have been a Hall Monitor or on Safety Patrol in School. Get over yourself ,you should act your age and go right now to a Nursing Home and complain, more.
and let's not forget the sentimental value of a 928 to Jeremy "Jezza" Clarkson
Really touching story. If he didn’t had a car as fast as that one he would have arrived too late at the hospital where is father was dying
Just watched that the other day. Still gets me 😭
That episode always got me man, very touching story!
I didn't like that bit. I don't wanna hear things like those. Too personal and I didn't watch him to hear the story of his life.
@@Snarl616 did it really make you that upset?
I looooveee the 928 and 944. Been trying to find one to buy for years now. I was introduced to Porsche through the 928.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video, Donut. I really love the way you guys mentioned the Porsche 911's short wheelbase. The way you guys mention it reminds me how incredible the 911's development was: longer wheelbase, electronic devices, and bigger tires not to mention engine upgrades, too. That is why I love Porsche and its 911.

Porsche 928 S4 was the first car with an automatic transmission that I've ever driven. My friend repaired Porsches, I helped him and occasionaly I had a chance to drive one... :-)
Lucky you
This was actually hell of a good video of 928. Excellent information. 928 GTS is one of the most desirable Porsches to me. It's a beauty and the build quality of those cars is astonishing. Actually much better than anything produced today.
I think most cars back then were built better then most modern cars
Damn this episode's editing is off the rails, love it.
Yeah wild editing but very entertaining
This episode was top-notch, especially the editing.

Just badass Porsche film.
This was my fav Porsche as a young lad in the 80s
Fascinating vid about the history of the 928, many thanks. I've owned 2 928s, a 1990 S4 and a 1993 GTS and loved them both. Currently have a manual Iris Blue 1996 993 Carerra in the garage along with a (gasp) 1986 BMW 635CSi. I've also been lucky enough to have had a couple of 944s (Lux and an S2) plus the odd Ferrari ( 2 328 GTBs, a 360 Modena, an F355 and a 456GT). My wife likes her little Skoda Fabia but puts up with my car madness (happy wife, happy life). Cheers from a rather chilly Otford, Kent, UK.
I LOVE that y’all incorporate b2b in up to speed now! That was perfect!!!!
I love the looks of the 928. It's so 80's in the best ways possible.
Especially the rotary phone wheels, god those are sexy.
Always loved the unique look of the 928.
This video is epic. Whoever does the editing is a genius! Funny funny stuff. There are a couple of mistakes (I.e the 5.0 V8 put out 288 hp not 227, it was a two generation car, 17 years of production instead of 18) but you nailed the overall vibe and purpose of the car where DeMuro missed it badly. Looking forward to the horse cream. Might even buy a horse..
Damn the editing in this episode is bonkers. Well done.
Ryan Hailey is the best. Check him out at Ryan’s Shorts or on Funhaus.
@@MatthewScott018 Ryan is all over this one for sure
928 reminds me of a Frog with those round pop up headlights. It's like how a Frog would blink when it tries to eat something. The green ones don't help either. Still 300+ hp... impressive for the 80s.
#WeWantHorseCream
I had an '84 928S. Part of an estate sale. Got it cheap($6000 back in the 1990s), but it had not been loved. One expensive malfunction after another. Hatchbach latch, sunroof, overheating issues, HVAC issues, all the kind of stuff that Honda and Toyota get right on Civics and Corollas. I sold it after a few years.
LOL you just admitted you were one of the degenerates who never did maintenance on these
I will live and die with the 928 as my favorite Porsche.

The Weissach in Weissach-Achse stands for: " 'W'inkel 'ei'nstellende, 's'elbst's'tabilisierende 'A'usgleichs-'Ch'arakteristik"
Translated to Angle adjusting, self stabilizing, adjusting characteristic.
But they obviously chose the word like that to make the acronym possible ;)
Sounds like "Whysuckass" if you are immature and willing to own it....
I've loved the 928 right from the 80's to now. It still looks contemporary to me and I'd love to own one.
I owned a '78 928 5 speed for about 25 years. Handling was amazing. I just loved it. The only design that I think Porsche really messed up on was the massive external dimensions of the small displacement 4.5L. Bore spacing was silly. I think it really caused problems for the designers and stylists.
What a fantastic production. Well done. Informative and truly entertaining. Thanks
“They thought it was at its mechanical peak.”
Well… the Nurburgring May disagree with that statement…
My favorite part of this channel is how James still laughs at his own jokes
Probably from the Horse Cream fumes in the shop. ;)
I LOVE the 928. My uncle bought a 1992 928 GTS in 1995. He still owns it. Metallic blue and its still gorgeous. Fantasticly underrated car.

@@musicman45254 Define "worse". I was unsure if I should be in awe, or dismayed, as stated. But seem to be clear.
Love my 86 1/2 928. Horsepower is 288 not 228 for the 32 valve 5.0 pre knock sensor.. Rear sun visors are for the back of the head/neck of the rear seat passengers.
I don’t care what anybody says, this thing was gorgeous, especially the rear end with those cut outs of the lights. The funny thing is they’ve come full circle with the Panamera, which is highly profitable
welcome back Up to speed. this is the show that got me into this channel.

Always a been my morning Thursday routine to watch up to speed
Always remember, this car allowed Jeremy Clarkson to say goodbye to his dad
Never forget

Such a great story. It’s a lot like James’s story of his dad racing him to the hospital as a kid. He cried, it was great.

Most excellent video. Really appreciated the Minor Threat reference.
I always loved the 928 (frog eyes). I wonder how it would have evolved if they continued it or brought it back (instead of pulling concepts from it). As always good show DM.

j/k I love 928s
Special shoutout to whoever chose the music for this episode - loved jamming to 1970's AND 1870's classics at 11:00.
1985 Porsche 928s. First car I ever went over 150mph in. Was really stable,.. when it ran. And this was a car with only 79k miles on it. So epnsive to fix and nobody wanted to work on these. I did really like the car. Had an awesome feel, like it was made for a giant German man!
I had a chance to sit in one of those 942 models - it was at a Porsche Panamera launch - surprisingly roomy in the back, and had a gorgeous purple paint job.

The 928 is awesome I've always wanted one
I remember flipping through the 928 brochure in the waiting room of my doctor’s office.
It was a bit of a doctor's car...
As a kid in the 90ies I really loved the look of the 928 and 944. To this day I get a kick out of seeing them
Great vid! Laughed and learned about one of my childhood favorites!
I appreciate that you put your left hand on top and right hand on bottom when playing air sax.
I have had my 928 for over 30 years and still love it!
The 982 is amazingly beautiful up close, and way smaller then you would think
loved the video. As a kid who grew up in the late 70's/early 80;' I can say that I never coveted the 911. To my young self, it was an old looking car and I never dreamed of owning one.The 928 always looked fresh and I remember crying when they destroyed one on cannonball run. Obviously, with hindsight the 911I'd own now, but would there still be a 911 if Porsche hadn't developed the 928?
I used to own an '83 928S (Indisch Rot) and it was my daily driver for the better parts of 6 years. It was my dream car for the longest and, at 194cm (6' 4"), this was just about the only sports car I could fit in comfortably. When everything worked, it was wonderful! But, as the video showed, there were a lot of "firsts" with this car, not all of them great - like the fact that the instrument cluster was the first which was digitally controlled, not analog. There was a thin ribbon circuit board behind the cluster that powered the dials and that was plugged into a bus that would regularly burnout the connection leads. When it burned out, you now had zero instrumentation. Good luck explaining that to the Polizei! To replace it, you had to remove the entire instrument cluster, which was a minimum 3 hour task by an experienced mechanic and required special tools to do it. Another first for Porsche was the aluminum-plastic hybrid radiator, which was a piece of junk. If the plastic cracked, like mine did, you couldn't repair it - just throw it away and get another one.
Even with all of that, when it was working, it was an amazing machine! I have driven nothing like it since and would buy one tomorrow if I could!
This is my favorite Porsche. The engine can make some decent power with a little modification, and I think it's damned good looking as well. I'd still like to own one someday.
And you can at a very low price sometime even at $7000
no need modification it is good the way it is.
