It’s better than a train ride…


Update: Over the weekend, the Risky Business Tom Cruise Porsche sold for a record $1.98 million - a top amount for that model.

Risky Business has inspired quite a few people, especially teenagers who’ve dreamed of tooling around town in a hot Porsche, just like a young Tom Cruise. And while the 1979 Porsche 928 used in the film might not be considered as interesting to some as a 911 of the same vintage, the fact it’s a movie car certainly elevates it in the eyes of many. That’s why there’s building excitement about its upcoming auction.

Paul Brickman, who famously directed Risky Business, selected the Porsche 928 for its dramatic looks. He considered the 911 to not be nearly as interesting aesthetically for the screen, and it’s easy to see why. That long, aggressive nose with round headlights lounging back give the nose almost a predatory feel.
