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.

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.
