The Clubsport version of the Porsche 968 was designed for track and the road from home to the track. It was more of a weekend racer rather than a daily driver. But it could do both.

Porsche needed a car to expand its lineup. In 1982 it launched the 944 model, which used a front-engine and rear-wheel-drive. By 1991, the outdated model required a replacement. That was the 968.
