TheStraightPipes Duo Rediscovers the Porsche 968 Cabriolet

Taking a trip down memory lane, Jakub and Yuri from TheStraightPipes YouTube channel, get behind the wheel of a 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet. This unique car offers a blend of classic Porsche design with some interesting features that set it apart.

The 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet is a hidden gem within Porsche’s storied lineup. This model, often overshadowed by the iconic 911, offers a unique blend of ’90s nostalgia and genuine driving pleasure, making it a fascinating subject for enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The 968 Cabriolet is powered by a 3.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that produces 236 horsepower and 225 lb-ft of torque. While it may not have the brute force of modern sports cars, the 968’s power delivery is smooth and linear, coming alive around 4,000 RPM.

The six-speed manual transmission, a step up from the 944’s five-speed, adds to the car’s engaging driving experience. The 968 is also front-engine, water-cooled, and features a transaxle design, giving it a balanced feel that is reminiscent of a well-tuned Miata.
