Porsche 944 and 968 (1981-1995 (Ultimate Buyers' Guide)
From the moment the 944 made its debut in the of Autumn 1981, it was an instant success. The second generation 968 continued an almost constant evolution. When production ceased in 1995, combined 944/968 production totaled some 188,000, making them – at the time – Porsche's most successful model family ever. The secret of that success is a unique combination of vibrant performance with everyday practicality. This Ultimate Buyers' Guide introduces all the 944 and 968 model types, describing the technical specifications, vehicle identification data, performance, colors and options. Using color photography of the cars and many actual problem areas, we introduce each model and what to look for when choosing and buying a used example.

Porsche Sports Racers Ultimate Portfolio 1952-1968
Porsche Sports Racers Ultimate Portfolio 1952-1968 Review
Porsche Sports Racers Ultimate Portfolio 1952-1968 Feature
The Porsche type 550 appeared in 1953. Designed for competition purposes, it featured a complex flat four that produced 110 bhp from just 1.5 litres. Quite a feat for 1953 - more than half a century ago! Not only was it light, it was very quick and soon became a class winner in major long distance races. It also became quite a collector's piece. A new era was ushered in with the release of the stunning Type 904 that was shown to the media in 1963 and entered competition the following year. It had a fibreglass body of exquisite beauty, and a totally new chassis with coil spring suspension. It was to have a long and successful racing career and spawned more great racing Porsches over the next decade beginning with the fabulous Carrera 6, the first Porsche to be powered by a flat six engine. Thankfully, many of the small numbers of these cars that were built have survived and are often seen in classic events around the world. They still look and sound great.
