Porsche 968 Manual

The Porsche 968 is essentially the successor to the 944, with a classic GT layout of front engine and rear wheel drive, and almost perfect weight distribution. The engine is a sophisticated version of the 3-litre, four-cylinder, 16-valve unit it is all-alloy, with Vario-Cam for maximum power throughout its speed range. Rated at 240 bhp at 6200 rpm, and at the time of its production had the highest displacement per cylinder of any car engine and the highest torque output of any unblown 3-litre. Porsche spent a lot of time and money in the development of this engine, and it definitely shows. The car has all-round independent suspension, using McPherson struts at the front end and semi-trailing aluminium arms at the rear with torsion-bar springs and separate dampers. This, in combination with the perfectly-balanced weight distribution, leads to magnificent handling. The vendor tells us that this Porsche 968 6-speed manual car is a great runner, is totally original, and it has the optional 17" Cup alloys. It has an upgraded stereo/CD, and is MOT'd until April 2018. No advisories. Electric hood works well, and there is a Thatcham approved alarm fitted. Last owner had the car for 8 years, a great future investment.
