Flash back to 1965 – Cruisin’ along the Pacific shoreline, hair slicked back and shades are donned. Alongside that turned-up smirk is the revolution of power – And we’re not talking about your reputation; we’re talking about the rep that your Porsche 911 Targa commands. Flash-forward.
It’s 2015 - time to buckle up Babe, the air is salty and the roof is stowed. The Porsche 911 Targa 4S is here to stay, but we’re gone tomorrow – A modern ode to the 65 Porsche coupe, the 911 Targa 4S is equipped with sophistication and impressive torque. The 6-cylinder engine delivers 400hp at 7,400 rpm, coupled with a 7-speed transmission, allowing premium sport performance whilst 7th gear opts for first-class comfort during those long journeys. The reserve on fuel consumption in 7th gear is just an added bonus when it comes to the integrity of this model. Cruisability is key and so is comfort. Sit back and relax in customized seat and surround sound options all while enjoying what the 911 has to offer. Innovative technology allows for an open-roof feel and can be topless in 19 seconds. Targa’s steel bar protection system is leading the line once again, keeping all fours on the road while providing structural support in the case of a rollover. Safety aside, the system is sweet. Sculpting the design from durable yet lightweight materials and environmentally friendly paint is just the beginning craft. The 911’s curves are characteristic of the past and have been rhythmic throughout the last 60 years – so naturally, the creators of the 2015 model have stayed true to design. Sidelining the classic vibes of the 60’s with today’s contemporary luxury has gotten the Porsche 911 Targa 4S where it’s meant to be - In the driveway of your dreams.
