2021 Porsche 911 992 Targa 4 2dr PDK 8sp AWD 3.0TT [MY22]

Porsche boasts a rich history and a robust connection with iconic sports car design. The Targa models, in particular, exhibit a distinctive design featuring a detachable roof panel. Initially conceived as a safer alternative to the Cabriolet, the inaugural Targa showcased a manually removable roof and a roll-hoop designed to safeguard occupants in the event of a collision. It was state-of-the-art for 1965, offering tangible advantages over a conventional open-top.

Today, Cabriolets are considerably safer, and the Targa based on the 992 model integrates the iconic roll-hoop primarily as a throwback design embellishment, partially for chassis rigidity but predominantly for aesthetics. Nonetheless, the roof retracts in a swift 19 seconds for that best-of-both-worlds motoring.

Recently added to the garage is this stunning 2021 Porsche 911 992 Targa 4 in Silver over Red leather. It is propelled by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre flat-six, delivering 283kW to all four wheels through an eight-speed PDK automatic transmission with paddle shift.

The Porsche 992 Targa stands out as a coveted convertible performance vehicle, earning the title of "the ultimate open-top 911" according to Evo magazine. Adorned in a sophisticated colour scheme and boasting a restrained 5,357 kms on the odometer, this chic specimen is well-suited for both daily commutes and spirited weekend drives.
