I think you are asking if a 968 CS ever came with a sunroof and a rollcage?

(For North American readers: in Europe sunroof-equipped 968s are often referred to as "Targa" since the sunroof is so large. This would confuse North Americans as they never refer to a sunroof 968 as a Targa.)

Yes, the sunroof was optional on the CS. It was uncommon but there are a few. I do not know if the sunroof was available with a rollcage.



It is a real CS. Has the standard hardback seats, crank windows, no airbags, console delete, early door panels, no tumbler for hatch (interior release).




On an original rollcage car, the factory used a Matter rollcage which of course fits in non-sunroof cars. I am not sure if it works with a sunroof. There are a few sunroof-CS's with an aftermarket rollcage (not Matter).

This is mostly irrelevant though because as far as I know the Matter rollcage is no longer available. Many aftermarket cages can be designed (or have an option) for sunroof cars.

In North America 90% of the cars have a sunroof. Many people put a rollcage in a car that has a sunroof.

Also, if you are very tall I would advise you first sit in the car wearing a helmet: some people (who are very tall above the waist) complain about headroom on sunroof-equipped cars. A non-sunroof car provides slightly increased headroom.

For the 2,234 North American 968 coupes, only 6 had sunroof delete as it was a standard feature on the NA 968 coupe. That works out to .0026%. So they are a lot rarer then you might have thought.

That said, this topic has been discussed before and it was thought that there is no great weight savings or structural rigidity gain for having sunroof delete.
