Announced in 1991, the 968 was the fourth of Porsche's family of front-engined sports cars. The first of the line, the 924, had arrived in November 1975 and came with the 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, overhead-camshaft engine. Six years later along came its close relative - the 944 - which was constructed along similar lines and from a distance was hard to tell apart from its 924 progenitor. Beneath the wider bodywork was a 2.5-litre, overhead-camshaft 'four' and the rear transaxle - a five-speed affair this time - was retained.
Restyled along 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 had 'Variocam' variable valve timing and produced 240bhp, which was good enough for a top speed of 156mph (251km/h) with 60mph (96.5km/h) 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. Today, these hitherto under appreciated Porsche fours are building an enthusiastic following yet still represent excellent value for money.
This automatic transmission example was acquired from a German gentleman in June 2009 and appears to be in very good order. It has since been on static display and will require recommissioning prior to road use.
The car is offered with an original German Fahrzeugbrief and a copy of the purchase invoice.
