Notes on 968 Interiors

968 interiors stayed largely consistent across all four production years, but a few small changes are worth knowing about — useful for spotting what’s correct on an early vs. late car.

Year-to-year changes
  • A passenger-side sun-visor vanity mirror was added during the 1993 model year.
  • Bucket seat style was changed for late 1994 cars. The early style (1992 to early 1994) is referred to as the “944 style” — its pattern is similar to the 944’s. The later style is referred to as the “993 style” or comfort-seat design.
  • Door pull style changed for late 1994 cars.
  • Trunk carpet attachment changed from button-snaps to velcro dots.
  • Additional seat options were available throughout the run: Sport seats, full power (8-way vs standard 6-way), heated seats, and lumbar seats. See the Optional Equipment page for details.
A word of caution on dealer-installed upgrades

Dealers had wide latitude to make a sale, and adding an interior upgrade was one of the easier ways to sweeten a deal. It’s not unusual to find an interior upgrade installed on a 968 that wasn’t on the original factory build sheet. There’s a documented case where Sport seats were removed from a 968 at the dealer to be put in another car — the line item was whited out on the window sticker and the price recalculated, but the seats had originally come from the factory.

Build sheets and Carfax records can disagree with what’s actually in the car. Always verify against the original window sticker if you can.
