Porsche 968

Porsche 968

Porsche 968 is the successor of 944 Porsches. Porsche 968 has the classic GT front engined, rear wheel drive layout with the added advantage of a rear transaxle giving almost perfect weight distribution. The low nose line and wide wheel arches help to accentuate the beautiful lines of this classic shape, a real head turner especially in Porsches Guards Red livery.

Porsche 968 has visible pop up headlights similar to the 928 helping to bring the look of the Porsche 968 in line with the look of the 928 and the 911. The practical advantage is that the headlights get washed along with the rest of the car instead of having to pop them up to wash them.

The interior remains like the 944 with the famous " oval dash ". The same robust materials have been used which have given all Porsches owners many years of trouble free motoring.

The engine of the Porsche 968 is a very sophisticated version of the four cylinder, three litre, sixteen valve unit first used on the 944 S2. Improved combustion chamber and inlet manifold design give the engine 240 horse power at 6.200 rpm and torque of 305 Nm at 4.100 rpm ( 58Kw/Litre ).

At the time of production the engine had the highest displacement per cylinder of any car engine and also the highest torque output of any unblown three litre engine.

The rear mounted gearbox is a six speed manual or a four speed tiptronic. The tiptronic utilises the research and development to manufacture a unit that combines the best qualities of a manual gearbox for the open road with the best qualities of an automatic gearbox for town driving.

Porsche 968 has self ventillating discs and an open ventillation, alloy wheels and a study of the air flow around the discs contribute to more than adequate cooling and so minimal fatigue and break fade. ABS adds even more safety to the already excellent braking system. The wheels themselves are designed to prevent the tyre coming off the rim in the event of a sudden pressure loss at speed.

Double galvanised bodywork a ten years of anti-corrosion warranty and three years paintwork warranty ensure the high bodywork standards associated with Porsches cars.
