Coupe or cabriolet? Why not both?
Torn in between ordering a Porsche 911 coupe or convertible? Have no worry, due to the fact that the renowned automaker from Zuffenhausen is presenting the most recent version of its long-running combo lorry. The 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S include all the things we know and enjoy about other members of the 992 family (aside the option of rear-wheel drive) with a throw-back style mix roof.
What possible factor would you go for a 911 Targa over a Cabriolet? And we’re not joking when we say “classic”– Porsche has used some variation of the Targa because 1965, only a few years after the 911 debuted.
The Targa passes up a standard back and three-quarter windows in favor of a big, wraparound design. Where the B-pillars would live on a 911 Coupe, the Targa includes its trademark silver bar– the Targa bar, as Porsche calls it. A retractable fabric covering connects the Targa bar to the windscreen frame.

Below the beltline, the Targa is mechanically similar to other members of the 911 household. Both trims include the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine, and matches the power figures of its Coupe and Cabriolet counterparts. That means 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque for the base Targa and 443 hp and 390 lb-ft for the 4S. Similar to the other 992 designs, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission comes standard, although a seven-speed handbook will be available.

Porsche hasn’t exposed just how much weight the Targa roof includes (or conserves) over the 911 Cabriolet– the 991 Targa 4 tipped the scales at 3,506 pounds to the 991 Cabriolet 4’s 3,417 pounds with an identical 89- pound space in between the 4S variants.
