1993 968 Coupe 6-Speed
A rare shade and engine rebuild brought the bids, but it wasn't enough

The Porsche 968 debuted at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1991 as a 1992 model and represented the final evolution of Porsche’s four-cylinder transaxle line, replacing the 944. Built in Zuffenhausen, it retained the front-engine, rear-transmission layout that gave the platform its renowned balance and predictable handling. Power came from a 3.0-liter inline-four, one of the largest four-cylinder engines fitted to a production car at the time, and the 968 also marked the first use of Porsche’s VarioCam variable camshaft control system, underscoring its role as both a technological and dynamic step forward.
This 1993 968 Coupe 6-Speed was delivered new to Japan and later spent time in Europe before being imported to the US by its current owner. Originally finished in Signal Green over a Black leather interior, this 107,000 km (~67k mile) example was refinished in its original shade some time ago and had its engine rebuilt in 2025 with work consisting of machining the head, new cylinder sleeves, a valve job, and a long list of parts. With only 10 other known examples in Signal Green, this was a very rare, and very well kept example.
Over the last twelve months 968 Coupes have averaged $25,700 with a low of $9,800 and a high of $43,500 for an 84k-mile example finished in Riviera Blue, another rare color. Our Spotlight Car, with less miles and quite the service history topped the Blue with a final bid of $52,968, unfortunately it wasn’t enough to take her home.
