New Porsche 911 Targa to debut at NAIAS

Porsche will unveil the new 911 Targa at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit. The new 911 Targa is presenting itself as a high-quality, innovative remake of the classic vehicle from 1965. This model 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 segment on the new Targa can be opened and closed at the push of a button. At the press of a button, the fully automatic roof system stows the convertible top behind the rear seat system.

The new Targa will be available in two variants, 911 Targa 4 and the 911 Targa 4S. The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.4 litre flat engine producing 350bhp of maximum power. Coupled with the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono package, this model accelerates from zero to 100kmph in 4.8 seconds and has a top speed of 282kmph. The top-of-the-line 911 Targa 4S is equipped with a 3.8 litre engine producing 400bhp of power. Equipped with PDK and Sport Chrono package will accelerate to 100kmph in 4.4 seconds on to a top speed of 296kmph.
