21st January, 2014
The new Porsche 911 Targa, the German brand's new sports car combining the
classic Targa concept of the original 911 Targa with state-of-the-art roof technology, has made its debut at America's
Detroit Motor Show (NAIAS).
This newest model in the 911 line-up 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
section 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 very limited rear
seat area. The rear-biased 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.
With these features, the new 911 Targa is presenting itself as a high-quality, innovative remake of the classic
vehicle from 1965.
The model shares a great deal in common with the 911 Carrera 4 cabriolet models; up to the front windscreen line, the
technology and body of the vehicles is much the same. The combination of the wide rear end that is typical of all-wheel
drive models, the Targa bar and the dome-shaped rear window gives the latest 911 a sporty appearance and a low-slung
profile.
Two model variants - Targa 4 and Targa 4S
As with the predecessor model, the new Targa generation comes in two versions available exclusively with all-wheel
drive. The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.4-litre, 257 kW (350 hp) flat six-cylinder engine. Equipped with the Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono package, the Targa 4 accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds and
boasts a top speed of 282 km/h. Its NEDC fuel consumption ratings are between 9.5 and 8.7 litres/100 km, depending on
transmission, which corresponds to a CO2 emissions level of between 223 and 204 g/km.
The top model is the 911 Targa 4S, which delivers 294 kW (400 hp) from a displacement of 3.8 litres. This model
reaches a top speed of 296 km/h and, with the PDK and Sport Chrono package fitted, accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.4
seconds. Its fuel consumption ratings vary between 10.0 and 9.2 litres per 100 km, depending on transmission, which
corresponds to a CO2 level of between 237 and 214 g/km. With these numbers, the Targa 4S is on par with the standard set
by the 911 Carrera 4 cabriolet models in terms of engine and road performance, as well as efficiency.
Both sports cars are certified for compliance with the Euro 6 emissions standard.
