First offered in 1967 as a stylized standalone roll bar, Porsche’s Targa soon became an institution with airy fixed rear glass completing the 911 silhouette. Targa-roofed 911s carried the instantly recognizable removable canopy through 1993. Following a two-decade departure from removable panel-type construction to retractable panoramic sections, Porsche’s 991-generation Targa continued the semi-roofless tradition closer in spirit the original’s sculpted silver bars. A truly modern sports car, the 21st century 911’s hallmarks of all-wheel-drive, forced induction and water cooling still paired seamlessly with Targa configuration.

From 2021, Porsche’s 992-generation arrived again as the best of the outgoing model plus the latest and greatest under the sun. Starting at Targa 4, the new car came as standard with Porsche’s PDK automatic and a wondrous sub-20 second power-retractable top.  Underpinning all trim levels were 20-inch front wheels staggered to 21-inches in the rear, connecting the 3.0L twin-turbocharged flat-six’s output to the road.
