## How to read this page

- Prices are US list prices in the dollars of that model year.
- "Not sourced" means the option was offered but no source for its price has been found. It does not mean free.
- A code of `none` means the factory code is not documented. Name the option instead of supplying a code.
- The same code can mean different things in different generations.
- "(assumed)" marks availability that is inferred: the option is documented in other model years of the same phase of the generation, or on the trim this one derives from, and is assumed here.

## Background

The 968 was an extensive revision of the 944 S2 rather than a new design, retaining the front-engine, rear-transaxle layout. Its nose was restyled with headlamps that folded back to lie flat, exposed when retracted, in the manner of the 928. It was built at Zuffenhausen rather than Neckarsulm and offered as a coupé and a cabriolet.

The 3.0-litre inline-four gained VarioCam, Porsche’s variable timing system for the intake camshaft. A six-speed manual gearbox was standard and a Tiptronic automatic was optional. Anti-lock brakes and driver and passenger airbags were standard.

The 968 was sold in the US for the 1992 to 1995 model years. The lightweight Club Sport and the turbocharged versions sold in Europe were not offered in the US. Production ended in 1995, closing the line of front-engined, rear-transaxle four-cylinder Porsches that began with the 924.
