The 968 – The Clubsport
968 Clubsport
From 1993 through 1995, Porsche offered a lighter-weight “Club Sport” version of the 968 designed for enthusiasts seeking increased track performance. Much of the 968’s luxury-oriented equipment was removed or taken off the options list; less sound deadening material was used, electrical windows were replaced with crank-driven units, stereo and A/C systems were optional rather than standard, and the sunroof was not available. In addition, Porsche installed manually adjustable lightweight racing seats rather than the standard power-operated leather buckets, a revised suspension system optimized for track use, and larger wheels and tires. Club Sport models were only officially available in mainland Europe & Australia, although “grey market” cars found their way elsewhere.
A UK-only version called “968 Sport”, was offered for 1994 and 1995, and was essentially a Club Sport model with electric windows and door locks, standard seats and uphostery, stereo system and sunroof. At £29,975, the 968 Sport was priced £5,500 lower than the standard 968, but had most of the latter’s desirable “luxuries” and consequently outsold it by a large margin (306 of the 968 Sport models compared to 40 standard 968 coupés.
