This 1982 example’s odd aesthetic is as unmistakable today as it was over four decades ago, but the 928’s futuristic design wasn’t just meant to wow onlookers, though it does that quite well—designer Wolfgang Möbius Möbius’ masterpiece garnered stare-downs from countless bystanders and plenty of camera phones flew up as we cruised the ocean front boulevards of the Westhampton portion of Long Island, New York. The 928 was purposely shaped for a strengthened roof and high level of crush resistance. More importantly, it also featured plastic, color-matching bumpers integrated into the styling, a revolutionary design cue that spared the 928 the aesthetic indignity of protruding black plastic “diving boards.” Interestingly, the 928’s odd combination of a streamlined design and awkward angles didn’t do any favors for aerodynamics, measuring a 0.41 cd of drag.
