3. Porsche 968 Club Sport
The Porsche 968 Club Sport is one of the best handling Porsches of the '90s – not our words, but the words of Walter Röhrl, the man who, over the past couple of decades, has put the finishing touches to Porsche's best road cars
To build the CS, Porsche took a set of scales to the standard 968, shaving 50kgs by losing items like the back seats, air-conditioning system, electric boot release and rear wash wipe. Its electric windows got windy replacements and fixed-back Recaros superseded the standard electrically adjustable versions. Variocam, meanwhile, helped coax 240PS (177kW) out of the 3.0-litre four-cylinder engine, and you got a six-speed gearbox.
Porsche went to it on the chassis, too, fitting aluminium suspension arms, hollow anti-roll bars and Brembo brakes from the 944 Turbo. Factor in the 968’s rear transaxle and the result was one of the most incisive sportscars ever made, so much so that we’re genuinely surprised you can still pick one up for less than £25,000.
