What came after the 944?
Better late than never, people. The 968 is the pinnacle of Porsche’s long-running front-engine, water-cooled, four-cylinder series (successor to the 944 and prior 928) but Porsche engineers didn’t just make a few changes and call it good.

What was the problem with the Porsche 968?
“Porsche’s problem is price, or at least the exchange rate between the deutschemark and the buck,” Steve Spence wrote in Car and Driver back in 1992. “With the 968, this problem has gotten completely out of hand.”
What’s the value of a 1992 Porsche 968?
The highest paid for a 968 was $346,000 for a 1992 Turbo RS at Amelia Island in 2012, but that car had an international racing pedigree. A more “typical” 1994 Porsche 968 sold for $61,040 at Scottsdale last month, which is nearly $11K higher the car’s current #1 value. All signs say the 968 is finally getting its due.
What’s the difference between a Porsche 944 and 968?
For just a bit more money than a 944, consider what the 968 has to offer: more power, more refinement, distinctive looks, and a cachet that’s rooted in its rarity. Fewer than 4,500 were built for the U.S. market before production ended in 1995, divided nearly evenly between Coupes and Cabriolets.
Is the 968 a coupe or a convertible?
The 968’s styling somewhat resembled the 928 although it looks considerably more like a blend of the 993 911, which did not appear until the end of the 968’s production and a 944 S2. Like the 944, the 968 was sold as both a coupe and a convertible.
