Is that what they call a" shooting brake"? I like it.
I still believe that if P had continued the transaxle cars uninterrupted from 1995 on, we would see fewer BMW M3's on the road.

Now, if Porsche fitted the 928 V8 into the 968 (or even chopped off two cylinders to make fit) that would be very interesting..

I know this is an old thread and it's been stated in a more than a few threads across the internet but the DP wagon in the OP is based on a 924 turbo

I don't hate it but I think I prefer the Boxster/Cayman wagon that was making the rounds a while ago.

Looking at Dan P's post a little more, I really like that it looks reversible, if you wanted to go back to stock.

That's been quite a controversial 968 for many years. It was for sale recently too so if it was sold on and that's a recent photo then the new owner hasn't changed it back.

I'm selling my 968 sports suit turbo because I'm giving up my hobby (... and "no" I don't have a corona shortage of money!). Please only serious inquiries via email or PM. The vehicle is well known in the scene and it probably needs no further explanation. It is a one-off in this version. Everything is registered! (Engine; wheel and tire combination; brake system; KW3; Strosek combi hood-the only one on a 968!; AHK) 3L turbo conversion with approx. 355hp and 500nm.

The caravan in matching design is sold separately!

Even after all these years they are still cool. The OP article I read (forget where) said that the one in the pics was a 951 modified. THey may have made on a 924 also but who knows.
Cheers, Mike
