Porsche 928 by Nardone is our new favourite restomod

So what goes into Nardone’s 928? The bodywork is redefined and reshaped in composite materials, making for a much wider and more aggressive stance. The looks are obviously updated, with 2020s-spec lighting including a light bar – though the flip-ups at the front remain – along with bigger 18-inch wheels. The overall look is exactly as you’d expect – 928, but modernised, with more attitude.

It’s not just superficial either. The V8 engine gets a comprehensive suite of upgrades including a modern ECU, for a 400PS (294kW) output. That power is put to the rear wheels via a converted six-speed transmission and a limited-slip differential. The front and rear axles have been redesigned and the car has a new active electronic suspension system. The brakes and power steering have been beefed up too.

The interior gets a proper overhaul as well, without losing the quintessential 928 look. There’s a new hi-fi system complete with the Porsche Classic infotainment system, which has Apple CarPlay.

What do you think of this resto-modded 928? Is it tasteful, blasphemous or somewhere in between? We’re rather fond of it. 

See it at the Festival of Speed in June at the MR PORTER Chicane.
