Porsche 968
The 968 was almost called the 944 “S3”, an upgrade to the “968 S2” that Porsche had introduced in 1989. With over 80% of the 944’s components new or modified, Porsche decided instead to introduce the car as a new model, hence the 968 was born. The 968 was produced from 1992 to 1995 and was marketed as the replacement for the Porsche 944. When production ceased in the 1995 model year, it represented the end of a line started almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the Porsche 924. By late 1991, the 968 was ready. It retained all the good bits of its predecessor, while significantly improving appearance, handling, and performance. The 968 was introduced in September 1991 at the Frankfurt Motor Show as a 1992 model. See all of our Porsche 968 Research.
