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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Tarmac Works Global64 release, produced in collaboration with IXO Models, recreates the Porsche 928 GTS in Blue Metallic.
