Supercharged 430hp, very nice. I guess I could live without a/c, maybe. I remember reading the article in GT Purely Porsche last year that featured this car.

Very nice but I have to say, I think this one is a little more interesting, IMHO.

If I was not a Porsche person, and did not know the rarity of the color, and someone pulled up in car that color I would think they are a little light in the loafers.

Is the replacement of the front fog lights for the duct/driving light combo from the 993 as shown on the first car a bolt on?

TIA

Yes, but the fit is not perfect.
If you are good with FG, you could make them perfect.

Damn, damn, damn I want that car!! It's pretty much the only 968 that I'd sell my current one to get. Or a factory turbo...

I like them. Very unique. The red cab in the 1995 Porsche calendar has them as well. Very cool.

Jeff, do you know if they came from the factory like this? Or was it something that was done at a later time. I have always like matching color centers but when the whole wheel is matching, it seems a bit too much.
Whats your opinion?

I had a drive of the 9M supercharged 968 before they did similar work on mine for me, and it was a great drive (hence I went on to progress the work on mine). I'm surprised its up for sale, given that the chap who bought it has had it for (I think) less than a year.

The 968s in Riviera look superb - one of the guys who lives about 20 miles from me has one, and it looks really striking.
