Why a sticker for your Porsche 968<\/strong> ? Does the Porsche 968<\/strong> emit diesel particles? Obviously no.<\/p>\n

Its good big naturally aspirated engine with 3 liters of displacement<\/strong> is even a model of its kind: ecological par excellence, it consumes very little gasoline and therefore also produces very little CO2<\/strong> compared to the performance of the car. It is thus not uncommon to make only 10 liters per hundred kilometers.<\/p>\n

Of course if you drive a Porsche 968<\/strong> you will produce a little more CO2 than a small diesel vehicle. However, do not forget that the CO2 emissions necessary for the production of this one are much higher than anything you can do.<\/p>\n

In addition, the driving pleasure of a Porsche 968<\/strong> is quite different. This is why be proud to put a sticker on your 968<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

You can follow the exploits of our Porsche 968 Greenbird on our blog.<\/p>\n

The Porsche 968 is the last of the 924, 944 series. She even almost called herself 944-3<\/p>\n

This is the most successful version, its look combines the strengths of its ancestors: very low height, balanced volumes and the look of the 993, the contemporary 911, particularly in terms of headlights and shields. A particularly successful mix of genres that still pleases today<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

The Porsche 968 has a Porsche 4 cylinder 3 liter 16 valve engine, it was and still is today the largest 4 cylinder in a production car<\/strong> .<\/p>\n

Unfortunately when the 968 came out, the Porsche executives decided to put the 911 forward and restrained the car. With only 240 hp for 3 liters, its engine is limited to stay below that of the 964 which developed 250 hp.<\/p>\n

Combined with a high selling price, this deliberately limited power is not going to help it when it finds itself in competition with the first M3 E36 6 cylinders of 286hp.<\/p>\n

A strong point of the front-engine Porsches, the handling is very good and very balanced. The gearbox at the rear and the engine at the front provide a weight distribution of almost 50\/50.<\/p>\n

The rigorous geometries, the low center of gravity and the brakes below any reproaches do the rest.<\/p>\n

At the test we are surprised by the lack of sensation provided by the engine. It is the ransom of a mechanism made to turn at 3000 revolutions ideally but which does not balk at taking 6700 revolutions all the same.<\/p>\n

The excellent 6 speed gearbox is very largely sized to accommodate the couple of future competitions which will hardly see the light of day. A turbo version of the 968 will be produced in 14 units.<\/p>\n

Very much criticized at the time, the front-engined Porsches were ultimately not so bad compared to the hideous and unsportsmanlike Porsche Cayman and Panamera today.<\/p>\n

Its lack of success when it was released allows it to be a very rare car these days, if you own a Porsche 968<\/strong> do not hesitate to highlight its ecological qualities with this sticker.<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
