The Porsche 968 was offered for the 1992–1995 model years. This page documents 46 equipment codes across 2 trims for the United States market, grouped into 11 categories. Select a trim at left to see its specific options and standard equipment. “No charge” marks no-cost equipment and “—” marks an option whose period price has not yet been sourced. Showing 1993 prices: “Not offered” marks equipment that wasn’t on that year’s order sheet, which is different from a price we haven’t sourced.

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.
