Annual Porsche 928 revival story: 2011 edition

Porsche 928 - about to be revived. Again Another year, another story about the imminent revival of a Panamera-based Porsche 928. This time it’s going to be called the Porsche 929 and arrive ‘some time after 2014′.

So starting early next year – as part of a programme Porsche call Modellregion Elektromobilität – three electric Boxsters will be out and about with their electric powertrains in the real world to give Porsche feedback.
