The Porsche 968 is a sports car manufactured by German automobile manufacturer Porsche AG from 1991 until 1995. It was the final evolution of a series of water-cooled front-engine rear wheel drive models that began almost 20 years earlier with the introduction of the 924. It was intended to take over the entry-level position in the company lineup from the 944, which much of the vehicle was derived from. The 968 was Porsche's last new front-engined vehicle until the introduction of the Porsche Cayenne in 2003.
Like its predecessor, the 968 was offered in coupé and convertible bodystyles. The 968 was powered by an updated version of the 944's straight-four engine, now displacing 3.0 L with a 104 mm bore and an 88 mm stroke and rated at 240 PS (177 kW; 237 hp) at 6,200 rpm and 305 N⋅m (225 lb⋅ft) of torque at 4,100 rpm. Modifications to the engine include a higher 11.0:1 compression ratio, lighter crankshaft, crankcase and pistons along with revised intake valves and intake manifold.
Much of the 968's chassis was carried over from the 944 S2, which in itself shared many components with the 944 Turbo (internally numbered 951) due to lack of development funds at the time. Borrowed components include the Brembo-sourced four-piston brake calipers on all four wheels with ventilated brake rotors, ABS, aluminium semi-trailing arms and aluminum front A-arms, used in a Macpherson strut arrangement. The steel unibody structure was also very similar to that of the previous models. Porsche maintained that 80% of the car was new.
968 was intented to be the 944 S3, but due to the amount of improvments made to the old model, Porsche decided to open up a new line.

The Porsche 968 was the final front-engined car to be developed by the company until the Porsche Cayenne, finishing off over 20 years of front-engined car development that began in the 1970's with the 924.
The Porsche 968 was built to replace the always popular 944, but was built to incorporate the body shape of the 944 whilst also being fitted with the frontal design of the classic Porsche 928, most notably the rotating headlights. Although intended to be a replacement for the 928, the latter remained in production alongside this car until both were discontinued in 1995.
The first 968's began to leave the factory in Stuttgart in 1992 but the reception was largely mixed. Although it gained some great reviews, it didn't sell in the same numbers as the 944 or 928 that preceded it, ending production after only 3 years in 1995 with only 12,000 members built.
Today these cars are extremely hard to come by, many of these vehicles being stripped for spares to keep alive the 944's.

The second generation of the Zaporozhets was a series of subcompact cars, production starting of the 966 in November 1966, although the prototype was working on as 1961. It had a completely restyled bodywork (done entirely by ZAZ), no longer resembling the Fiat 600 and arguably similar to the Chevrolet Corvair or the NSU Prinz. This was an effort to cure some of the 965's issues, such as torsion bars that lost tension, suicide doors, and engine overheating and noise. The engine was the 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) 887 cc (54.1 cu in) MeMZ 966A. A radio was standard equipment. The price had inched up, too, from 1,800 rubles at the 965's debut to 2,200 by 1969.
While featuring a larger two-door saloon body, it still featured an air-cooled V4 engine and featured more prominent air intakes – the so-called "ears", although a decorative chrome grill was also present. The car's rear suspension was also replaced. The 966 started out as the simpler ZAZ-966V (ЗАЗ-966В in Cyrillic) with the 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) engine from the 965A, which was also featured on all later models. Much like the 965A, the 966V was also produced in several special variants for the disabled (VR, VB, VB2 - until January 1973). It was produced in tandem with the 965 from November 1966 to May 1969.
ZAZ launched an upgraded 966B in 1968, powered by a new 40 hp (30 kW; 41 PS) 1,197 cc (73.0 cu in) MeMZ 968 V4, while the 30 hp (22 kW; 30 PS) 966A-powered model became the 966-1 which was only ever produced in small numbers. The 966B, weighing in at 780 kg (1,720 lb), was heavier than the earlier model, but faster, reaching 75 mph (121 km/h).
The 966 was discontinued in 1972, with the introduction of the ZAZ 968.
Nicknamed "Zapo" in the Eastern Bloc, the 966 was also popular in Western Europe, including some Scandinavian countries and France. Some markets fitted a 956 cc (58.3 cu in) Renault engine.
However, the most notable claim to fame for this rather unusual looking car comes in two forms. One, Vladimir Putin, the premier of Russia, owns one of these plucky little machines, and apparently is very proud of it. And two, one of these was even lucky enough to feature on Top Gear, where Jeremy Clarkson drives around Greenham Common Air Base in a blue version, which apparently came with only one working door, no ignition and a hole in the floor. I personally believe these are safety features. The door refusing to shut is so you can dive out in the event the brakes fail (which they'll inevitably do), the lack of an ignition is to stop thieves from stealing your car, and the hole in the floor is, well, a hole in the floor.
