Essentially a cross between the 944 and the 928 in styling, the engine was a carryover from the 944 S.
An excellent car in my opinion. I owed both a 944 and a 968 back in the day. I did not like the timing belt system that needed to be changed every 30K and retensioned in-between at 15k. Cars just needed too damned much routine maintenance (fuhgeddabout the repairs!)
