The Nardone Porsche 928 is a carbon bodied restomod that reimagines Porsche's front engined grand tourer for a new era. Built by Nardone Automotive with more than 3,000 custom parts, it pairs a naturally aspirated V8, a manual gearbox and modern suspension with the unmistakable wedge silhouette of the original 928. Priced from around 480,000 euros, it is one of the most ambitious Porsche 928 restomods on the market, and it is available through TheArsenale.
What is the Nardone Porsche 928 restomod?
Nardone Automotive's reinterpretation of the classic Porsche 928 stands as a testament to modern engineering blended with nostalgic flair. When Porsche audaciously departed from its rear engine principle with the original 928, it was an exercise in rejecting the predictable. Nardone builds upon this audacity by not merely restoring but reimagining the vehicle for a new era. Over 3,000 custom parts have been designed to infuse the car with contemporary elegance without losing its iconic charm. The cabin, defined by a minimalist dashboard and a custom Hi-Res audio system with 11 speakers, serves as the gateway to pure driving delight, eschewing distractions for a pure performance focus. You can see the full build on the Nardone Automotive official page.
How much power does the Nardone 928 make?
The Nardone 928 boasts a stunning array of features that not only enhance its performance but also set it apart as an innovative masterpiece. Under its sleek carbon fiber bodywork lies a naturally aspirated V8 engine delivering 450 horsepower and 522 Nm of torque, controlled by a Motec ECU. The 928's performance is further sharpened by a redesigned front and rear axle, an active controlled electronic suspension, and a custom made 6-speed gearbox equipped with a mechanical limited-slip differential. To ensure impeccable precision on the road, the steering has been given a quicker ratio, and the braking system improved with Brembo brakes. As Top Gear details, the restomod starts from roughly 480,000 euros before taxes and a donor car.
Despite its high performance credentials, the Nardone 928 maintains a level of refined luxury that envelops passengers in comfort. The interior is reimagined with options for leather or Alcantara, combining luxury with functionality. Those who appreciate the harmonious blend of power and sophistication will notice the careful detailing, like the 18 inch manhole-style forged wheels that not only enhance the car's aesthetic but also reflect its bold spirit. Overall, Nardone's reinterpretation of the 928 celebrates a restoration-less philosophy that maintains traditional values while inviting a new era of bold expression and driving euphoria.
