Announced in 1991, the 968 was the fourth of Porsche's family of front-engined sports cars. Styled along Porsche 928 lines, the 968 retained its 944 predecessor's basic mechanical layout while improving on its specification, boasting a 2,990cc engine and six-speed manual transmission. Porsche's big four-cylinder now boasted 'Variocam' variable valve timing and produced 240bhp, which was good enough for a top speed of 156mph with 60mph coming up in 6.2 seconds. Despite its improved performance, the 968 had the misfortune of arriving at a time of recession and did not sell well. Stripped-out Club Sport and racetrack-ready Turbo S versions were added to the range before production ceased after only four years.

Intended for enthusiasts seeking enhanced on-track performance, the lightweight Club Sport did without much of the 968's 'luxury' equipment - for example: there was less sound deadening insulation used, and the window lifts were hand operated - though features such as air conditioning, a sunroof, and an audio system remained available as options. The rear seats were deleted, the fronts replaced with lightweight Recaro competition seats, and a non-airbag steering wheel fitted. There was also a less complex wiring loom and a smaller battery; the result being a reduction in weight of around 100kg when compared to the standard 968.

Improvements to the running gear includes revised suspension, lowered ride height, and 17" (up from 16") wheels shod with wider tyres. In 1993, the Porsche 968 Club Sport was voted 'Performance Car of the Year' by the UK's Performance Car magazine.

This desirable limited-edition Porsche is finished in its original factory colour combination of white with black interior and comes with an extra set of period and model correct optional RECARO seats as currently fitted. Displaying a total of 73,073 kilometres on the odometer, the car is described by the vendor as in good original condition and comes with a detailed evaluation reaching the same conclusion. The most recent service was carried out by Kronos Porsche on 24th January 2018. Accompanying documentation includes a cancelled Belgian registration document (2005), D'Ieteren Certificate of Conformity, and extensive historical records.

  • Historique connu Dévoilée en 1991, la 968 était la quatrième de la famille des Porsche à moteur avant. Inspirée des lignes de la 928, la 968 reprenait les dispositions mécaniques de sa devancière 944 en améliorant ses caractéristiques, grâce à un moteur de 2 990 cm3 et une transmission manuelle à six rapports. Le gros quatre cylindres Porsche était désormais doté d'une distribution variable Variocam et développait 240 ch qui autorisait une vitesse maximale de 250 km/h avec un 0 à 100 km/h en 6,2 secondes. Malgré ses performances supérieures, la 968 eut la malchance d'arriver en temps de récession et ne se vendit pas bien. Les versions Club Sport dépouillée et Turbo S prête pour le circuit furent ajoutées à la gamme avant que la production cesse après seulement quatre années.

Destinée aux passionnés en recherche de performances sur piste, la Club Sport allégée se passait des équipements de luxe de la 968 - par exemple, il y avait moins de matériau insonorisant et les commandes de vitres étaient manuelles – bien que des options comme l'air conditionné, le toit ouvrant et le système audio aient encore été proposées. Les sièges arrière étaient absents et ceux de devant étaient remplacés par des Recaro allégés de compétition et un volant sans airbag était monté. Il y avait également un câblage électrique simplifié et une plus petite batterie, le résultat était une réduction du poids d'environ 100 kg par rapport à la 968 de série.

Les améliorations au train roulant comprenaient les suspensions améliorées, l'abaissement de la caisse et des roues de 17 pouces (au lieu de 16) chaussées de pneus plus larges. En 1993, la Porsche 968 Club Sport fut élue « Performance Car of the Year » par le magazine britannique Performance Car.

Cette séduisante Porsche édition limitée conserve sa livrée d'origine blanche avec intérieur en cuir noir et est vendu avec un jeu de siège Recaro supplémentaire, conformes à l'option de l'époque. Affichant aujourd'hui 73 073 kilomètres au compteur, la voiture est décrite par le vendeur comme en bon état et est vendue avec une expertise détaillée qui arrive à la même conclusion. La révision la plus récente a été effectuée par Kronos Porsche le 24 janvier 2018. La documentation fournie comprend les papiers d'immatriculation belge périmée (2005), le certificat de conformité de D'Ieteren et un historique complet.
