The 968 ‘Club Sport’ or ‘CS’ was Porsche’s attempt to appeal to track-minded enthusiasts by capitalising on the excellent chassis dynamics of the familiar 944/968 series. By lowering the car by 20 mm, tweaking the suspension and stripping off some of the ‘luxury’ elements of the 968 a credible 100 Kg weight-saving was achieved which allowed the CS to sprint to 60 mph in 6 seconds and then on to a top speed of 162 mph. The Club Sport was even crowned ‘Performance Car of the Year’ in 1993 by Performance Car magazine in the UK going some way to establishing the CS as a sports coupe with serious credentials.
This very presentable, right hand drive, 1994 example on sale here is finished in Solid Black with Black cloth interior complemented with red ‘Club Sport’ side-panel script and red painted 17″ Cup alloy wheels. Originally supplied new in New Zealand this 968 CS was imported and registered in the UK in 2016 and comes with an appropriate V5 document. (more…)
