Porsche 968 Clubsport Supercharged: No Nonsense Driving Tool. Shooting Brake's B-Road Review

Описание: In 1976, Porsche decided to expand their model range with a front engine, rear wheel drive sportscar called the 924. Equipped with an inline-four cylinder engine and a transaxle gearbox layout, Porsche's traditionally laid out sportscar offered fantastic limit-handling and old-school looks at an affordable price.

The 924 transformed into the wider, sleeker, faster 944. A comprehensive revision of the original formula, the 944 was a 1980s sales success and an icon of the 'yuppie' era. Porsche decided to revise the platform for the 1990s, but the resulting car was so different from the 944 that it now commanded a new name, creating the 968 nameplate.

Only produced for 4 years, the 968 occupies a curious place in Porsche history. The revised chassis offered incredible chassis dynamics, but the engine was mooted by some to be somewhat underwhelming. The founder of Shooting Brake, Amir, purchased this example after a long history of transaxle Porsches. Disappointed with the power on offer, he promptly took the car to 9Excellence, who fitted a centrifugal supercharger boosting output to 300bhp/300ftlbs.
