  Porsche 968 Parts @ Car Parts Wholesale
Porsche 968 replaced the 994 and had reigned the industry from 1992 to 1995 until such time that it was replaced by the Porsche Boxster.
Yet despite all these things, the 968 had been thought of carrying its own identity and thus be launched as one of the sets of nameplates in Porsche’s line of cars.
Through all of the exerted efforts, the Porsche engineers and designers still made sure that Porsche 968 was 80 percent new in total for the car to be able to go solo.

  WVD - 1994 Porsche 968 Cabriolet Sport
The 968 Cabriolets are surely one of the best-looking Porsches ever produced and the most desirable of the 968 range.
Porsche was keen to stress that 80 percent of the 968 was new compared with the outgoing 944.
The 968 Sport retained the lowered and uprated suspension of its brother the Club Sport, as well as most of the luxuries found in the standard 968.

  Porsche 968 G50 Quaife ATB differential - Quaife Engineering
Rather, the Porsche 968 G50 Quaife ATB differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks.
The Porsche 968 G50 Quaife ATB differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheelspin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design which retains the standard oil lubrication.
The Porsche 968 G50 Quaife ATB differential is proven in circuit and drag racing, rallying and road use, and is produced from Corus steel billets, and is CAD designed and CNC machined, then inspected to ISO 9001 standards.

 Porsche 968
The 968 was Porsche's successor to the 944, a front-engined four cylinder 2+2 that had sold in huge numbers during the 1980’s.
Subtly re-engineered from its predecessor, the 968 was an interim model until Porsche's new mid-engined Boxster arrived in 1996.
However, the 968 had become a commercial disaster for Porsche, production for the 1994 model year dropping to a miserly 1076 Coupe's and 869 Cabriolet's – a far cry from the mid 1980’s when 944's were exceeding 25,000 units per year.

While the Porsche 911 Turbo was introduced with an even larger engine displacing 3600 cc and developing 360 bhp/265 kW, the 968 was introduced with leaned-down equipment, a lower price, and in two-seater Clubsport trim.
One final attempt by Porsche to reach the pinnacle of performance and handling for the normally aspirated 944/968, the 968 Turbo S was an extremely rare model with only a total of fifteen models ever produced.
Even the 911 Turbo of that year wasn't a worthy opponent for the Turbo S. The 968 Turbo RS was a competition version of the Turbo S that was released for the final year of the 968.

 Porsche 968   (Site not responding. Last check: )
But the true fascination of the 968 is not so much its motor -which compared with any classic 911 is more powerful- but rather it was the styling of the car.
The Porsche 968 was manufactured in coupe and cabriolet versions; all bodies were manufactured externally, either by Karmann (Coupe's) or by ASC (Cabriolet's).
The driving experience can by no means be compared with a 911; the 968 is a highly forgiving car, less demanding when driven hard; but then again, it was never meant to be a replacement for the 911.

 ROADandTRACK.com -- Road Tests, Comparison Tests - Used Car Classic: 1983-1995 Porsche 944/968 (9/2004)
Of course, most Porsche aficionados accept the notion that water-cooled engines — even, heaven forbid, front-mounted engines in some instances — may be evolutionary necessities if the brand is to remain viable in the new century.
The 924 of 1976 and the 928 of 1977 were the front-engine, water-cooled models that first took Porsche down the road to perdition or, depending upon your point of view, the natural evolutionary path.
Porsche management confronted this embarrassment by developing a new engine for the car, a 4-cylinder powerplant that was in essence half of the 928's V-8.

 eBay Guides - Budget Vintage Porsches Buying Guide
Both the Porsche 911T and Porsche 911E Targa have been appreciating at a pretty good clip over the past five years, so you might be able to make a few bucks on a good one down the road.
Porsche 911E Targas bring little or no premium; the same used to be true of open 356s a few decades ago.
Although the Porsche 968 won't appreciate just yet, one of these days all the folks who cut their teeth on Porsche 924s and Porsche 944s may look to the Porsche 968 as a car to own.

 Porsche Repair: 968 - Speedometer, Airbag light & Antilock Light
I own a 1993 Porsche 968 and recently found that the speedometer stopped working, the antilock light came on as did the Air Bag light and warning light.
Here's my best guess: By '93, Porsche and many other manufacturer's were adding more and more relays to control the power level going to important items (like anti-lock brakes and air bags, as examples).
In the late eighties, when the Porsche engineers were designing my daughter's car they had added "control relays", which as the name implies, control multiple relays.

in a model series which began with 1976's Porsche 924, the 968 represented a remarkable advance in an already extremely well-developed platform.
With its production relocated to Porsche’s fabled Zuffenhausen facililty, the 968 was redesigned to meld Porsche-distinctive styling cues from the 959, 911 and 928 in an assertive new body style.
Production changes through the life of the 968 were very minor: most buyers have found a 968 from any year of production to make a fine investment.

Porsche 968 is basically the successor of the Porsche 944.
Instead of the hidden headlights of the 944, the 968 has visible pop up headlights, similar to the Porsche 928.
All these bodywork changes made the 968 look a lot like the 928, and added the engine heritage, some people have referred to it as "the daughter of 928".
