== Design == [[File:Porsche 968 1994 Convertible Cockpit FOSSP 7April2013 (14400342140).jpg|thumb|left|The interior of the 968 was mainly carried over from the 944 S2 with minor changes]] The 968 was mainly a restyled evolution of the 944 with design links visible to its predecessor. Design work was done by [[Harm Lagaay]] who had designed the 924 and the 944 as well. The front of the car largely resembled the top-of-the line [[Porsche 928|928]], sharing its exposed pop-up headlamps and the integrated front bumper.<ref name="AMS (16_91_S24)">''Auto, Motor und Sport'' Magazine, issue Nr. 16 of 1991, p. 24.</ref> This frontal design would eventually appear on the [[Porsche 993|911 (993)]] two years later. The rear of the 968 was also redesigned, featuring fully coloured rounded taillamps. Special bulbs were used in the taillamps which either illuminated a small area in amber colour when the turn signals were activated or in white when the car was reversing. PORSCHE badging was fitted between the taillights just below the model type number. The rear apron was integrated into the smoothened rear bumper.<ref name="AMS (12_91_S61)"/> While the exterior of the car was rounded and smoothed, the interior was largely unchanged and mostly shared with the preceding 944 S2 with the exception of switches and control knobs.<ref name="AMS (16_91_S24)"/> The 968 also featured numerous small equipment and detail upgrades from the 944, including a Fuba roof-mounted antenna, updated single lens tail lamps, "Cup" style 16-inch alloy wheels, a wider selection of interior and exterior colours, a slightly updated "B" pillar and rear quarter window to accommodate adhesive installation to replace the older rubber gasket installation. {{clear}}
