The Porsche 968, produced from 1992 to 1995, was the final iteration of the 924/944 series, marking the culmination of a legacy that began in the late 1970s. While sharing its basic platform with its predecessors, the 968 was a significant evolution, boasting a more powerful engine, advanced suspension, and refined styling. Under the hood resided a 3.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, producing 236 horsepower, a notable jump in power compared to its predecessors. This engine, incorporating a unique four-valve cylinder head and variable intake manifold, offered impressive performance, achieving a 0-60 mph time of 5.8 seconds. The 968 also featured a sophisticated multi-link suspension, providing excellent handling and precise steering response.
Beyond its performance enhancements, the 968 showcased a more luxurious and refined character. It featured a redesigned interior with improved ergonomics and premium materials. The exterior design, while retaining the familiar 944 shape, incorporated sleeker lines and modern accents, giving the 968 a more sophisticated and contemporary appeal. Despite its technological advancements and refined character, the 968 faced significant challenges in the market. It arrived at a time when Porsche was struggling financially, and the 968's relatively high price point, combined with the increasing popularity of powerful and affordable sports cars from competitors, limited its sales. However, the 968 remains a highly regarded model among enthusiasts, appreciated for its distinctive design, potent engine, and engaging driving experience. This Workshop Service Repair Manual, designed specifically for the Porsche 968, provides invaluable technical information for mechanics and owners alike, facilitating the maintenance, repair, and restoration of this iconic sports car.
