This is probably my favourite Porsche!What's your favorite?
I think this 968 and maybe a 914-6 gt
The 964 and the 930 Flat nose
love it. i own 928 gts, 944s and 968 .... the best...
@@SAMMYJR00777 that's a nice collection!
The 918 is my fav ;)
Love the infectious enthusiasm here. Total joy of driving.
How can't you enjoy such a time machine! Thanks for stopping by
968 Turbo S: "I'm an incredibly rare car"
968 Turbo RS: "Hold my beer"
Who cares…I’ve seen more unicorns in real life.
Love this video.. I inherited my 94' 968 convertible from my dad. It was his golf course chariot and only has 56K miles on it.. Still looks brand new and driving it makes me feel closer to him still.. Miss you dad.. Such a great car...
968 cab owner here. Great cars!
That’s the nicest 968 I’ve ever seen...granted, you don’t see them often.
Bought my Iris Blue '94 968 in 2011 and absolutely love it. These cars are underrated but have been getting more attention in recent years. I also own an 88 Carrera and enjoy driving it just as much, but the best thing is experiencing the differences between the two. Great video and look forward to seeing more of your modifications in the future.
I'm restoring an Iris Blue '94 968 right now.
Such underrated cars, I absolutely love mine!
Couldn't agree more!
Me too!!
I’ve had my 92, 968 coupe for 12 years, 212,000 miles used daily....great car
Oh damn that's amazing!
I bought my first Porsche in 1985, a red 924 turbo. I thought I was a king. Then bought my first brand new 911 an '88. I wasn't even aware of this car. I may buy one. Since then I've owned lots of Porsches and just bought my first 928. A red '88 GT with 16 thousand miles on it - in mint condition, like brand new. 1 owner who collects Porsches and stores them for sale later. Paid $88 thousand for it, the original stick was on the car - $76 thousand.
Thanks for the fun review! Dido on everything you said! I've been fortunate enough to own a 924S, 944S2 coupe and cabriolet, as well as a 968 coupe. They were all fantastically fun cars to own that didn't break the bank. I'm taking delivery of a 968 cabriolet next week and can't wait! Anybody considering one of these cars, especially the 968, go for it! You won't be disappointed! This review is right on! Great vibe.
Great video. I like your style, well researched information too!
As much as I like this video I would like to point out that the front was not inspired by the 928. The back was. The front was designed to create family resemblance to the 993 which was about to be produced. So says Harm Lagaay who designed it. The rear bumper design was inspired by the 928. I love my 968.
Thanks for clarifying. This was the information I was able to find so the article I read mislead me.
@@DailyDrives973 no worries, I enjoyed this video nonetheless. Very nice job!
My mom had one brand new. There was a Porsche Car Phone option for the 968. It’s a cool novelty to have when you see one.
I've owned a '95 968 Cab, red over tan, for years. You video reminds me how the 968 has the best Smiles/Miles ratio of any car. Definitely smashing the subscribe button!
Watching this again. At 10:13, that’s what owning these classic Porsche cars is all about. Thanks Osama
I have had my 968 for 5 years and I bought it because it is so good, so usable and so much fun. Largie
Great choice! Take care of it!
Terrific review. Been considering one of these. Thank you.
Thank you!
944 S2, 968. I want one or the other. I once had a 944 S.
Every man who ever makes a driving video should watch this one first. Your enthusiasm and constant patter really do put the viewer into the driver's seat. Thank you very much!
Man did I just find one of the best car channel!! Fellow Bahraini here and I love the content. Subbed
Thank you! We post once a week 👍
Amazing video and for sure an amazing car😍
enjoyed the video very much! learned alot too
Had mine since’03, Greatest car I’ve ever owed.
And my car is a 968 Turbo S Replica.
I had a 94, 968 convertible and was the most fun cat that I ever drove. Hopefully someday, I will buy another one. Even though I own many high end sports cars, the 968 is my favorite.
Love the 968 and its headlights, especially.
Nice Video and Format ... you gotta make an update once it's turbo'ed :) 968s are fantastic, especially with uprated power. Greetings from Switzerland.
Thank you! Will do that for sure
I’m honestly confused how you don’t have that many subs loved this video
Finally! Someone who has done the true essence of the 968 justice! Thank you,bud.
The enthusiasm while driving gives off the best of Vibes.
The history is also described very well.
My favourite vintage Porsche is the 924 because it was my first Porsche ever.
All of them are great! Do you still have it?
@@DailyDrives973 Yeah absolutely,
yes bought it 2 years ago. :)
@@platinmetallic3797 awesome!! Enjoy it!
Great video. I have had 2 911’s- early versions- 1972 and 1983. Currently have a 1992 968 Cabriolet since 2012. It is an excellent car and will climb up the tail pipes of 911s in the twisties but not the straights. For me it is the best Porsche.
Incredible car. But come on... 964 Turbo and 993 Turbo are the King of Porsches. That's how it is. Cheers man, enjoyed the video and the car.
I had a 968 CS with M220 and M030 package recarors and no rear seats, full CS trim. The only modification I did back the days was a K&W suspension. The suspension upgrade felt like 50 horses more 😂😅.
Till today I love the lineage of the car, it is a long hatchback. The 4 cylinder non turbo is a dream. If you change the limited exhaust and remap the electronic you will get proper 265 horses. The driveability is in the deadzones better then the 964. The 964 reacts quick to driver faults, the 968 is more stable. The 968 Turbo S is an increadible car, back these days a good friend who worked in Weissach bought one and we spend laps on the Nordschleife🎉. We allways laughed driving circles arround the 996 which had the "construction problems' on track.
I had one for 10 years. Was the best sports car I ever owned and I did have many. I am always looking to buy another one.
I had a 1994 968 Club Sport when I lived in the UK. Such a well balanced chassis and very practical as a daily driver. Would love to have it back....
had the chance of buying a 968 for a bargain price, - one of my biggest regrets that i didnt. :(
Great Review!
What a sweet ride , Pure driving enjoyment.
Thats a really lovely Car 😍 great info
It really is!
I had the same car in black. Front spliter, s wing, speedline 18 3 piece wheels, 6 spd split differential with a few mods in air intake. Just be aware 18 wheels came in S and rs versions with differe suspension suspension
This is so well produced
Great video! Is this Cobalt Blue?
Lovely, great review, same colour as mine too
Thanks for watching!
Super auto bought my new still own with 10,000+ miles. 1994 turbo cab. love it!!!
nice clip, thank you ( i owned a 968 CS back in 1997) meanwhile there should be more "self-built" 968 Turbo exisiting than the 13 (or 14) built by Porsche....last one i saw for sale was for € 195.000,-
in fact, its a 80s car inside ( late summer 1984!- 944 /II, dont forget). High quality car indeed. Rust? Whats rust here?
Yes true it slipped my tongue to be honest :)
What type of rims are these??? Amazing looking car!!!!!❤
The '92 968 Sport is one car I really regret selling on !
Thanks for the information, Brown Jay Leno!
Haha 🤣
I love my 968 i have owned it since 1999 i imported it with me to New Zealand when i moved from the UK i love driving it
The inside style startet in autumn 1984 in 944/II. Its really 80s!
Love my Amethyst Dazzler. Such a fun vehicle!!
This video needed so much more.
I don't hear any turbo!!, no pop off. NO OH SHIT moment!!!
Amazing car !!!
Really excellent presentation!
Thank you!
I agree! Very good production and presentation and I enjoyed the enthusiasm! Keep more coming.
968? Best Porsche ever! ❤
Just bought a 95 coupe with 47K km . Definitely a true gem and well kept secret.
Porsche sold the 912E not a “911E” for one year only in North America in 1976. I think he just misspoke but I wanted to clarify that.
Yes. It was sold from 1975-76 912E with a four cylinder engine 👍misspoke thanks for clarifying that!
i see porsche did produce a 968turbo with 305bhp, but i've only seen reviews on the standard car or the clubsport968. it would be nice to see a road test on the turbo model PLEASE. And where are all the turbos hiding, i'll google 968turbo & see what happens. my current porsche is a black gen2 997 6speed techart twin turbo. i also have a 2018 nardo grey stage1 RS3 Sportback..But i have an eye on a 1992 silver 968tiptronic, never seen a manual yet. happy porsching around to all, & please be careful out there on the road.
Porsche only made 14 968 Turbo. They’re extremely rare, and very valuable. No way is anyone who owns one gonna lend it out for someone to do a road test unfortunately...
As long as they wear the Porsche badge, every Porsche has its own charm.
And in times of crisis for Porsche, non- 911 models saved the Porsche.
The 924 in the 70s, the 944 in the 80s, the Boxster in the 90s, the Cayenne in the 2000s, the Paramera now, and the Taycan will extend the life of the 911.
They are all Porsches.
I remember my friends being blown away when the S2000 came out. They couldn’t believe an NA 4 cylinder made 240hp. I’d laugh as I looked over at my 968.
Indeed, but the Honda is a 2l engine vs Porsche 3l. Very different engines and experiences to get the best of them surely. I am Not bias to any. Never driven a 968 either.
The 968 needed a turbo to put out that kind of power AND it was 3.0ltr compared to the Hondas 2.0ltr naturally aspirated. There's no comparison. I do love 968s though and I'd prefer that over the S2000.
@@davekennedy6315 The 968 like the S2K were NA cars. No turbo on the 968 we got in the states. There are a few super rare models that did have a turbo. Those were over 300hp though.
944 S2, 944 Silver Rose, 968 clubsport,
Some of the Best 3 cars of the 80’s / 90’s
The engine wasn't "tilted to the side", its a V-8 block from the 928 with one whole bank shaved off.
very rare car!
What’s your input on the automatic transmission with triptronic ? 🥴
💙💙💙
I have a 92 968 and it is BAD ASS. I will never sell it .they can bury me in it .
The 968 (certainly the one in the video) has dual airbags... :)
968 Turbo S - how many of these were made? 14? It makes no sense to talk about the best vintage Porsche when they are so rare.
The 968 is kinda weird to me, its like you know these 3 sisters the 928, the 944 and the younger one 968, 928 is pretty good looking, youd take her out to meet your friends and family, the 944 is the stunner, the girl all the guys want and theres lil 968, shes got the nice body but.......shes kinda like a butta face of the 3 sisters.
Nice video. But to answer the question in your title, absolutely not! .. how come a 968 (one of the least loved Porsches) comes to be the best vintage Porsche? .. I think all the front engine, rear transaxle Porsches will NEVER be like a 911, I'm saying that and I own a 928S4 and a 930 turbo, everyone admires the 930, but the 928, not so much.
Yeah...such a fantastic Volkswagen, I mean Porsche .....😖...you'd think those knuckleheads would've realized it was another winning Volkswagen by Porsche design...so much Germanic roots...and such a fine machine from 924 economy vw to high end sports car killer 968....dang....😫
236hp not 237 😜
the turbo's HP was NOT the reason it was so much quicker. the 369 ft/lbs at 3000RPM was. and man do i hate these "turbo look"cars with no turbo motor. its like the opposite of a sleeper, especially putting the turbo badge on the back. cringe. and we all know this guy isnt going to turbo this car. get real.
I'm sorry but when the video is about a turbo s car
And you wait 8 mins, 3/4 of the video, it is not.
Video reported? Click bait? Never again.
Clickbait! Had nothing to do with the 968 Turbo S! ~sigh~ Good way to NOT get subscribers.
Nope, no one cares because there are so few. He did great.
Agreed. This is NOT clickbait. A very well done review of the 968 and it’s lineage. He finished by driving something that looks like a Turbo S to almost everybody and was clear about the current lack of turbo charging…
A very pedantic comment by P in my view.
@@durrantalan My comment was not pedantic. THIS IS PEDANTIC. What does the thumbnail look like? (968 Turbo S) What's the title of the video? (1994 Porsche 968 Turbo S Review. The best vintage Porsche?) what does he review? Big hint! Not the Turbo S. I would get into the habit of using a dictionary or leave the big words alone. Here are a few definitions to save everyone time looking them up. Thanks to Marriam Webster.
PEDANT: one who is unimaginative or who unduly emphasizes minutiae in the presentation or use of knowledge.
PEDANTIC: of, relating to, or being a pedant.
Pedantic is an insulting word used to describe someone who annoys others by correcting small errors, caring too much about minor details, or emphasizing their own expertise, especially in some narrow or boring subject matter. I don't know about you but I would say there are minor differences between the two cars, and I definitely wasn't showing off expertise.
CLICKBAIT: something (such as a headline) designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest.
DailyDrives made the title about the turbo S because if it was just about the 968 a lot fewer people would have clicked on it. After all, we all are here because it said 968 Turbo S.
@@robbelliii I agree if it was just about the 968. But that is not the reason you and I clicked on the video now is it?
Correction: the front end was inspired by the 959 not the 928
