Did you not watch the video? Or skipped through?
First of all, Jeremys 928 wasn't excactly what you would call mechanically sound - leaving bits of engine and smoke everywhere.
Second, the car is not a 5speed, it's not even a 4 speed. It's a dodgy old 3speed slushbox.. The car has probably done a million miles, not had an oil change in years, and the trans is slipping. (probably).
Yes, it had 300bhp when new, brand spanking out-of-Stuttgart new. But years of abuse takes it's toll on all engines, and maybe, at some point in it's miserable life did the timing belt break on this interference motor and a few valves bent. What power is left in a V8 that has had that life? 200? 180? 140 when passed through a neglected tranny?
I think its genuine.

Owning a 928 is risky business - but sometimes you just gotta say "what the fudge".
