Porsche is known for the production of sleek and superfast two-door sports cars and coupes. However, what people fail to remember is that this automotive biggie was also responsible for producing quality four-door sedans. Here are just some of the sample cars the company made.

The first of these sedans was created by Troutman-barnes, a popular California coachbuilder. The sedan took its design cues from a 1967 Porsche 911 and sported suicide doors. Unfortunately, this vehicle didn’t last long and disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

The second sedan produced was the 1986 Porsche 928 S4. Produced for Heinz Prechter, CEO of American Sunroof Corporation, this sedan was also equipped with suicide doors similar to its predecessor. It’s considered a sought after item, especially in the light of someone paying $44,000 in a recent auction just to get a hold of it.

The last Porsche sedan was the Porsche 989. It was commissioned by the company in the late 80’s, under the watchful eye of its CEO, Dr. Ulrich Benz. The car was given a V-8 engine that was capable of producing 300 horsepower. However, it wasn’t enough to help boost the sales of the sedan, prompting Porsche to stop producing the car and this vehicle type altogether.

So if you happen to spot a four-door Porsche sedan, don’t look too surprised to see one. Although they’re quite rare, they do exist. Just like Big Foot and the Loch Ness monster.
