Produced from 1991 to 1995, the 968 is the final evolution of the
"transaxle" Porsches that began in 1978 with the 924, expanded with
the introduction of the 944 in 1982, and culminated with the 968 in
1991. The Porsche 968 is a wonderfully balanced sports car with a
3.0 liter, naturally aspirated, inline four-cylinder, that is
water-cooled. Transmission options included a four-speed automatic
(Tiptronic) or a 6-speed manual. The front engine rear transaxle
setup allowed for 50/50 weight distribution and excellent
handling.
The 968 Club Sport is 220 lbs (100 kg) lighter than a standard
coupe. This weight reduction was achieved by removing several
luxury features such as rear seats, sound deadening, power windows,
air-conditioning, radio, power windows, central locking, a rear
wiper. Other necessary items were replaced with lighter weight
versions such as the fixed-back seats by Recaro, fabric door pulls,
lighter weight carpets, and thinner glass. The result is what can
be expected, a driver-focused road car that could handle track days
too.
This highly original 968 CS was completed in Stuttgart on January
15, 1993, and sent to Belgium where it was sold new by Tag Porsche
Centre on March 5, 1993. The car remained in Belgium until 2025
when it was imported to the USA. A nice file of original purchase
documents, early service records, and registrations, are on
file.
The overall condition is excellent with beautiful black paintwork,
excellent wheel finish, and a near perfect interior. On the road
the torquey four-cylinder feels strong, and the six-speed is ultra
slick.
Please note that due to current smog regulations, this car cannot
be registered in California. Please consult your local DMV or reach
out to us and we will research it for you.
