Someone posted this on rennlist. It's good to see Porsche actually remembers they built 968 race cars.

i noticed the front splitter is not the porsche motorsports one we have been getting, or at least not in its delivered form - interesting

It think it must be the original prototype for the splitter before it went into "production". Other TurboRS seems to have the same splitter we get.

I do believe there is an RS splitter. It is longer in front with more downward angle. It also extends back underneath. It eliminates the black underbelly.

I was told that by someone who was supposed to get one for me and knows a lot about 968TS/RS. I was even quoted a price. We had a dispute over another issue and he told me I would never see it.

Maybe someday.

well, tech art makes one that eliminates the front lower pan - it wraps around a bit more and has a more downward front profile - it carries a porsche number - this is what it looks like

Is this it? Or is this a custom modification?

I love the add on front splitter and wickerbill on rear wing of this car. If you look in upper right of thi RS picture there are curves that compete with the RS!

If I had a choice, BIG IF, I would have to take the "curves" of the RS over the "others".

Guess which would still look good in ten years!!!

Porsche builds new sports prototype - Penske Motorsports exclusive partner



Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, designs and builds a completely new sports prototype for customer racing in America's most important sportscar series, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). This new programme was initiated by its North American subsidiary, Porsche Cars North America (PCNA). The vehicle complies with the technical specifications of the LMP2 category (Le Mans prototypes) and is the first purpose-built Porsche factory race car since the successful 911 GT1 from 1998.



As exclusive partner, Penske Motorsports will race the new prototype in 2005 and 2006. Roger Penske and his team won two CanAm Championships in 1972 and 1973 with the legendary Porsche 917 sportscar. Regarded for decades as one of most professional and successful racing organisations in the USA, Penske will enter the new sports prototype for testing in the final two races of this year's ALMS season on 1st October in Road Atlanta and on 16th October in Laguna Seca. In 2006 it is planned to race two vehicles at all ten rounds of the series.



Peter Schwarzenbauer, president and CEO of PCNA, announced at the second ALMS race in Road Atlanta (15-17 April) that with this racing programme Porsche Cars North America and Porsche Motorsport North America are eager to provide customer teams with the possibility of competing in prototype categories of the American Le Mans Series in the future.



In the near-standard GT2 class, motorsport customers have secured 47 victories and five manufacturer championships in the last six years with the Porsche 911 GT3. With this new and intensified racing programme, Porsche intends to raise the excitement and interest levels in American sportscar racing.



North America is not only the most important market for Porsche but also the region with the largest number of enthusiasts for sportscars from Zuffenhausen. The Porsche Club of America boasts almost 60,000 members, making it the world's largest manufacturers club. For over 30 years and with extraordinary race cars like the 934, 935 and 962, Porsche racing customers have contributed to the rich and successful motorsport tradition on the American continent.



Its about bloody time!!!!!!!!!



Hope you enjoyed the 8 year holiday Porsche Motorsport ladies

Kind of hard to tell but it seems like it's more for looks then performance.

it's abs, so it's pretty durable, but it is only really a trimmer for the corners - not as functional for downforce, but probably as functional for airflow - it's 3 pieces, and kind of odd in how it goes together



i returned it

There was a good thread on Rennlist in the 944 turbo/turbo 'S' forum that was covering ventilation which also covered off some examples of splitters.
