Interior Materials & Configuration

Five categories of material/configuration interiors were available for the 968 — from the rare full-leather treatment down to the standard cloth Porsche-script seats. Pricing varied by body style and model year.

5 categories — Full Leather, All Leather Seats, Partial Leather, Cloth Script, Cloth Multi-color
94% of NA 968s got partial leather — the dealer’s favorite
Just 7 NA cars got the rarest tier — Cloth Multi-color

Always Standard

Three components were leather-wrapped on every NA 968

Regardless of which interior tier was ordered, every NA 968 left the factory with these in leather:

Steering wheel rim
6-speed shifter boot & knob (excl. shift-pattern insert) / Tiptronic shift knob
Emergency brake handle grip

All Leather Seats

Standard 968 interior with both front buckets fully covered in leather (seat fronts and seat backs). Coupes have rear passenger seats covered in leather as well.

$1,957 cab ’92 $1,949 cab ’93–’95 $2,265 coupe ’92 $2,256 coupe ’93–’95

Category 3 · Most Common

Partial Leather Seats

By far the most popular — found on 94% of all NA 968s. Only the seat fronts of the front buckets (the parts your body actually contacts) were leather. Seat backs and rear passenger seats (coupes) were leatherette. The price difference made this an easy upsell for dealers — they could advertise “leather” on a 968 cheaply.

$668 in ’92 $682 in ’93–’95

Category 4 · Standard Cloth

Cloth — Porsche Script

The default factory offering. Insert sections of the front seats in cloth showing the Porsche name in the Porsche font; front bolsters in leatherette; rear seats fully covered in cloth. Despite being the standard interior, it ended up rare in NA — only 98 NA 968s (~2%) got it.

Cloth Script — sub-options:

All Cloth seats — entire seat front in cloth, no leatherette bolsters. +$215
Code 526 — matching Porsche-script cloth on door panels. $170 / $174

Category 5 · Rarest of the Rare

Cloth — Multi-color “Plaid”

A carry-over style from the 944, applied to the 968 interior. Insert sections in plaid multi-colored cloth, leatherette bolsters, rear seats fully cloth. Only 7 NA 968s were produced with this — 6 coupes and 1 cabriolet — making it the rarest interior in the NA market.

Cloth Multi-color — sub-options:

All Cloth seats — entire seat front in plaid cloth, no bolsters. +$215
Code 526 — matching multi-color cloth on door panels. $170 / $174
