Spy Shot: Porsche 911 Targa

Quote »

Porsche is to revive the targa-top roof concept last seen in the 993-series 911. The 997 Targa is expected to make its debut in time for summer 2006; these pictures indicate that it will have a powered glass roof section which pops up and slides back, similar to that used in the 993. The dual exhaust pipes of the car snapped show that it's got the hotter Carrera S engine (3.8-litre, 350bhp), though informants at the moment are unclear whether the Targa will be based upon the rear-wheel drive Carrera S or the upcoming four-wheel drive Carrera 4 - or if this roof option will be offered with both of these models.

I'm going to get flamed for this, but it seems kind of bland....the front in particular. Something about the headlights and bumper just don't seem "right" to me.......but i'd still take one if someone was handing them out.

Uh, excuse me?

Someone seems to have forgotten about the 996 Targa that's been on sale for the last few years...

That being said, I like the curved windows in this 997 Disguised version - I've never liked the angular windows on the 993/996 Targas.

I posted this in the other targa thread..but why they make it a dedicated model is beyond me. Just like Mercedes make it an 'option' across the line. Want a Carrera with targa roof option.ok...want a Carrera 4S with a targa roof ok.....

Sorry, but the windows are not curved. That's silver tape giving the effect - just like on the roof. You can tell it has an angular c-pillar if you look hard.

Yes, I know. That's why I said that I liked the look of them on this disguised version, meaning I like the tape, or whatever it is. It's quite obvious they're not real.

i was going to say the same thing. that sliding roof on the 996 Targa was cool! that car was the first rear-engined hatchback that Porsche ever made.
