About the Porsche 928 S Cassis Red Metallic GT Spirit 1:18

TL;DR: GT Spirit's 1:18 resin Porsche 928 S reproduces Porsche's front-engined V8 grand tourer in Cassis Red Metallic. As a transaxle-era Porsche that mainstream diecast rarely covers, the 928 S suits small-batch resin production, which renders its smooth, minimally creased body panels cleanly.

Porsche built the 928 to replace the 911, and it never managed that, but the attempt produced one of the most distinctive grand tourers of its era regardless.

A Resin Subject Mainstream Diecast Skips

The 928 rarely appears in mass-market diecast catalogues, since volume producers chase the 911 and leave Porsche's other lineages to specialists, and GT Spirit fills exactly that gap. Sealed resin construction suits the 928's shape well, since the body carries very few sharp creases, relying instead on smooth, flowing surfaces and pop-up headlights that need clean, consistent moulding rather than the tolerance a hinged diecast panel allows for. Cassis Red Metallic gives the car genuine depth under direct light, showing off the subtle curvature along the doors and rear haunches that a flatter colour would understate. As with most resin pieces at this tier, there are no opening features, a trade that suits a subject defined by uninterrupted bodywork rather than mechanical detail.

The 928's Place in Porsche's Range

Unlike the rear-engined 911, the 928 placed its water-cooled V8 up front and used a transaxle layout, mounting the gearbox at the rear to balance weight distribution front to back, an engineering approach closer to Porsche's motorsport thinking than to its own bestselling model. The S designation marked an upgraded, more powerful version of the original 928, part of a range that continued through the 1980s as Porsche's flagship grand tourer even as the 911 refused to be replaced. For a collector building a transaxle-era Porsche shelf, alongside the 924 and 944, the 928 S represents the top of that lineage and deserves a place ahead of the smaller-engined cars beneath it.
