Thought this was neat. Everyone knew it was going back to the old style targa since the clear roof is not much different than what is available now. Neat that the top is still powered though like the cab. Only available like the old one in awd, so Targa 4 or Targa 4S. In the US though, the pricing below is $10k above the 4 and 4S.

The 2014 Porsche 911 Targa

The world premiere of a modern classic

Atlanta. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Porsche is introducing two new models to the 911 range: the 911 Targa 4 and 911 Targa 4S. These models are the first to combine the classic Targa concept with cutting edge, innovative roof technology. Just like the legendary original 911 Targa of 1965, the new models feature the distinctive Targa roof bar, a movable front roof section, and a wraparound rear window. But unlike the classic 911 Targa, the roof segment can be opened and closed at the push of a button. The fully automatic roof system stows the Targa top behind the rear seats.

Both 911 Targa models exclusively come in AWD version, featuring the wider rear track and body, and the same Porsche Traction Management (PTM), found in all 911 all-wheel-drive models. It is an active all-wheel-drive system that helps to ensure the optimal distribution of drive power for optimum traction in most road scenarios, whether on long straights, through tight corners, or on surfaces with different friction coefficients. The combination of the wide body, the Targa bar, and the wraparound rear window results in an extremely sporty and low-slung profile.

The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a horizontally opposed 3.4-liter 6-cylinder engine with 350 hp. Equipped with the optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono package, the 911 Targa 4 accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds and is capable of a top track speed of 174 mph (175 mph with the manual transmission). The 911 Targa 4S delivers 400 hp from its 3.8-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine, and accelerates from zero to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds when equipped with optional PDK and Sport Chrono package. The 911 Targa 4S is capable of reaching a top track speed of 183 mph when equipped with a manual transmission and 182 mph with PDK.

The 911 Targa 4 will have an MSRP of $101,600 while the 911 Targa 4S model will have an MSRP of $116,200. Both cars also have a destination charge of $995. Deliveries of the 911 Targa in the U.S. are scheduled to begin this summer.

Saw pictures, thought it was ugly. Saw it in person, still ugly. Damn shame. I feel like somebody who really wants a vert but can't afford it will buy this and then spend days on the internet justifying it with claims of superior handling.

I really like that it's electronic though.

EDIT: It's only $1,600 more for a fucking vert.

I don't mind this car at all actually. It's unfortunate that these cars cost so much. If I was buying a new 911 I would never consider anything but the Turbo or GT3.

Why would they bring back the least desirable 911? Targas are always the lowest priced out there, haha.

I think it's a good looking car.
Maybe it's the fact that it's half throwback, yet it's still a sexy 991
