Greg found this great video. It is long, HD, and in German but good stuff

Nice. I love the blue roadster.

I find it interesting, 51 min in that there is a heat shield right above the exhaust manifold.

I bought an auto trans shield and trimmed it a little to run into the lower shield. Yet to be installed though.

and did you notice it didn't have 'pop-up' headlights?

Yep., similar to the 993 but not the same, it is missing the rake at the top that makes it blend into the fender. Interesting, but still looks strange.

I still like the way the original headlights sit recessed in our cars better.

Couple more shots:

Another thing I found interesting is the red cabrio had the CS seats added, 944 door panels with manual windows and the CS steering wheel.

Jay Wellwood

Yeah, noticed the faux CS appointments to the Cab.

That is actually the only 968 CS cab ever made...
The French magazine Flat 6 got a chance to drive it a few months ago, they were very impressed...

jeff968

No kidding, I've never heard of it. And it was created back when the 968s were being produced? It is a factory car? tell us more.

It is indeed a factory made CS cab, Porsche was apparently planning on putting it in production but pulled the plug last minute since the coupé already didn't sell in large numbers.
Will try to see if the article contained other fun facts about this one-off.

Not to say I know any better, but I find that hard to believe, considering the dash is an airbag dash. But things always pop up these days!

Now of course it could have had the door panels, center console, and recaro seats ordered from factory, and then later added a CS wheel, but when the cab weighs what, 500lbs more than a coupe and flexes more what is the point?

If you could post the article would love to see it!
