Production Data

Speed Yellow 968s

Years out of production, Speed Yellow has become one of the most desirable colors on the used 968 market — for the obvious reason of how vibrant it looks on the car, and the equally obvious reason of how few were built. 10 coupes. 10 cabriolets. That’s it for North America.

20 NA cars total — 10 coupes + 10 cabriolets, all six-speeds
50% M030 rate on coupes — highest of any single exterior color
X4 sales / L12G paint — Porsche’s first-generation Speed Yellow

The Color That Almost Wasn’t

Launched 1993 (Canada) / 1994 (US) — replaced by Racing Yellow in 2012

The 968 series was one of the first Porsche models to wear Speed Yellow. The funny part: it was a “no additional cost” exterior choice when these cars were sold new. The premium it commands today is purely market-driven.

The 968 Register has tracked SY 968 whereabouts for years. If you spot one not listed below, contact the registry. If you find an unaccounted-for SY 968 — buy it.
