The new Porsche 911 Targa
World premiere of the 911 Targa: At the North American
International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Porsche is presenting the latest
generation of the extravagant 911 model to the public. This model is the first
to combine the classic Targa concept with state-of-the-art roof technology.
Just like the legendary original Targa model, the new model features the
characteristic wide bar in place of the B-pillars, a movable roof section above
the front seats and a wraparound rear window with no C-pillar. But unlike the
classic models, the roof segment on the new Targa can be opened and closed at
the push of a button. When the button is actuated, the fully automatic roof
system stows the convertible top behind the rear seat system, providing a real
spectacle. The rear-weighted design of the PTM all-wheel drive fitted as
standard is a typical Porsche feature, and guarantees that this latest 911
model also offers optimum driving dynamics on all road surfaces and in all
weather conditions.
