Porsche 968 Cabriolet notes.
Launched in 1992, the 968 replaced the 944 (1982-91) and had roots back to the 924 (1976-88) which was the first Porsche powered by a water cooled front mounted engine. The engine is updated from the 944, now displacing 3-litres together with VarioCam variable valve timing, and now with a 6-speed gearbox. 4-pot Brembo brake callipers were used on all 4 wheels.
Of the 12776 made, only 2141 cabriolets were made for this side of the Atlantic, making it the rarest of 968 Porsches. Of the 93 Porsche 968 Cabriolets left in the UK, just 40 examples are reported to be taxed and in regular use today
Production of the 968 commenced at the Porsche factory with the end of the contract with Audi to produce the previous 944 model.
