968 Clubsport

Usual

The Porsche 968 was the last new front-engined Porsche until the Cayenne arrived in 2003 and the last in a line of water-cooled front-engine rear-wheel drive models that started with the 924 in 1976. The 968 was initially supposed to be a redesigned version of the then-contemporary 944, dubbed the S3. But when it arrived in 1991, so much was changed from the 944 that Porsche decided that creating an entirely new model would make more sense. The model was more streamlined and looked like a combination of the 928 front end and the 944 S2 interior and rear end, albeit redesigned with different tail lights and rear apron.
 
 
From October 1992 to 1995, a lightweight version of the 968 was introduced called the “Clubsport.” It did away with many of the luxury features in pursuit of performance. The 968 CS had less sound deadening, manual windows, manually adjustable lightweight Recaro racing seats, a revised and lowered suspension system, wider 17-inch wheels, a thicker, three-spoke sports steering wheel with no airbag, non-heated washer jets, no engine bay vanity covers, no rear wiper, no rear seats, and a smaller battery. 1993 Clubsport models were only available in Grand Prix White, Black, Speed Yellow, Guards Red, or Maritime Blue with matching seat backs. Clubsport decals were standard in either black, red, or white, but they could also be deleted if wanted.
 
 
Like all 968s, the 968 CS was also powered by the 3.0 L M44 I4 engine backed by either a 6-speed manual, which this one has, or 4-speed Tiptronic automatic. The 968 CS weighed 2,910 lb (1,320 kg), or around 220 lb (~100 kg) lighter than the regular 968. This gave it a 5.6-second 0-60 mph time and a top speed of 162 mph (260 km/h).
 
 
Clubsport models were only available in the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia, and a total of approximately 1232 were produced over three years.
 
 
This particular example, Chassis # WP0ZZZ96ZPS815084, is a very honest and original example with many factory surfaces and finishes as well as paint meter readings that reflect an original paint example. This 968 Clubsport was delivered on the 21st of January, 1993, to the Porsche Zentrum Wiesbaden dealer in Wiesbaden, Germany. It was painted in Maritime Blue over a Black/Maritime Blue interior, the same color scheme it wears today. Optional equipment included a higher amperage battery, the rare limited-slip differential, air conditioning, and a Blaupunkt Paris RCR 42 cassette radio, according to the Porsche Production Specifications document. Another desirable feature to note on this example is the lack of a sunroof. It also features the “Clubsport” decal delete. This 968 received regular services at the Wiesbaden dealership until 1997, when it began being maintained by the Porsche specialists at Fa. Bubetz Oliver and other shops around Germany.
 
 
On June 22nd of, 2022, Küke Automobil Service in Essen, Germany, performed a timing belt service on the car that included a balance shaft belt and a water pump. All oil seals and sleeves on the timing chain side were also replaced along with spark plugs, valve cover gasket, ignition sensor, brake fluid, brake hoses, fuel and oil filter, battery, hood struts, air cleaner, and a resealed heat exchanger.
 
 
We imported the car from Germany in March of 2023 with 98,045 km (60,922.34 mi) on the odometer. In 2003, a maintenance booklet entry notates an odometer replacement at 74,800 Kilometers, so the current odometer reading is 23,XXX plus the 74,800 KM accumulated when the odometer was switched. This was due to the common broken gear issue, and rather than rebuild it, it was more cost-effective at the time to simply replace the whole unit. At the time of our purchase, we entrusted Asphalt Rebellen in Lohne (Oldenburg) with an inspection before bringing it stateside and having Autocar Bespoke in Philadelphia, PA detail the interior, exterior, undercarriage, and engine bay upon its arrival. In a testament to its careful ownership over the years, the service booklet is stamped with service entries from new through to 2005.
 
 
As it sits, the 968 Clubsport is the purest 968 experience one could get. It’s a raw vehicle with few frills and distractions that could get between you and the asphalt. They are limited-production, lightweight Porsches that were meant for weekend warriors looking for something that could hold its own on the track and be driven home afterward. They are currently the most affordable Porsche with the “Clubsport” moniker, but not for long! If you seek to shave seconds off lap times at your local track in style, the 968 Clubsport can make it happen. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original owner’s manual, the radio manual, factory brochures, German paperwork, the service receipts on file, and an extra set of keys.

When Porsche released the 968 in 1991, it was the last of a few things, including the last new front-engined Porsche until the Cayenne arrived in 2003 and the last of a series of water-cooled front-engine rear-wheel drive models that began in 1976 with the 924 and later the 944. While the 968 was supposed to be yet another revised model of the 944, dubbed the S3, Porsche decided it would be best to make it its own model thanks to the significant changes the engineers had made to the chassis.
 
 
To appease those with a love for speed, Porsche released a lightweight version of the 968 dubbed the “Clubsport” from October 1992 to 1995. Many of the luxury features of the 968 were removed or made an option in pursuit of sheer performance. The car had less sound deadening, manual windows, manually adjustable lightweight Recaro racing seats a revised and lowered suspension system, wider 17-inch wheels, a thicker, three-spoke sports steering wheel with no airbag, non-heated washer jets, no engine bay vanity covers, no rear wiper, no rear seats, and a smaller battery. 1993 Clubsport models were only available in Grand Prix White, Black, Speed Yellow, Guards Red, or Maritime Blue with matching seat backs. Clubsport decals were standard in either black, red, or white, but they could also be deleted if wanted.
 
 
The 968 CS used the same 3.0 L M44 I4 engine from the regular 968 backed by either a 6-speed manual, which this one is equipped with, or 4-speed Tiptronic automatic. The Clubsport weighed 2,910 lb (1,320 kg), or around 220 lb (~100 kg) lighter than the regular 968, which gave it a 5.6 second 0-60 mph time and a top speed of 162 mph (260 km/h).
 
 
Clubsport models were only available in the UK, Europe, Japan, and Australia, and a total of 1232 were produced over three years.
 
 
This particular example, Chassis # WPOZZZ962PS815259, was first registered in August 1993 in the Netherlands. It was painted in Speed Yellow over a Black/Speed Yellow Leatherette & Cloth interior, the same color scheme it wears today. Options included Equipment for France, a higher amperage battery, the rare limited-slip differential, air conditioning, and the anti-theft package, according to the Porsche Production Specifications document. It was very well maintained throughout the years, with a plethora of service records attesting to this.
 
 
Some significant service records to note are new adjustable Koni shocks from V.D. Gugten in Bodegraven, Netherlands, in March of 2013 and new timing belts from RS Motors Porsche Centre West-Vlaanderen in Ingelmunster, Belgium, on July 5th of 2018.
 
 
Around 2018, the car was imported into New Hampshire, where it was enjoyed until we acquired it sometime in June of 2023. We entrusted Mark Cavanaugh in Beverly, NJ, with performing the few services this 968 CS needed to be as perfect as it could be. Items included new door handle gaskets, windshield wipers, lower plastics, thermostat & seals, wheelhouse liners, power steering reservoir & hose, along with a few hose clamps, minor touchups, and repairs.
 
 
If a track car is what you’re after, you cannot go wrong with a Porsche 968 CS, especially one with the LSD option like this one. The difference in handling will absolutely be clear over one without the LSD, and the impact of the 220 lb loss over the regular 968 is hard to overstate. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive the original owner’s manual, tool kit, factory brochures, German paperwork, the service records on file, and an extra set of keys.
