The Porsche 928 was introduced for the 1978 model year as a front-engine, V8-powered grand touring car, a major departure from the rear-engine layout associated with the Porsche 911. Its combination of performance, comfort, and distinctive styling earned the 928 the 1978 European Car of the Year award.

The 928 GTS arrived as the final and most developed version of the 928. Introduced for the 1992 model year, it used a 5.4-liter V8 and featured wider rear bodywork, updated styling, and other refinements that distinguished it from earlier versions. Production of the 928 ended in 1995, making the GTS the final evolution of Porsche's long-running V8 grand tourer.

This Tarmac Works Global64 release, produced in collaboration with IXO Models, recreates the Porsche 928 GTS in Blue Metallic. The model captures the 928's long hood, rounded body profile, broad rear quarters, rear spoiler, and distinctive raised pop-up headlights. Rolling wheels complete the 1:64 scale presentation.

Collectors should also watch for the chase variation of this release. Tarmac Works' U.S. distributor specifies that one chase car with closed headlights is included per carton, giving the chase a subtle but immediately recognizable difference from the standard Blue Metallic version.
