Porsche 911 (991.2) Targa 4S (2018)

The 991 Carrera was launched to great praise at the 2011 Frankfurt Motorshow, the 991 was a technological leap forward from the already exceptional 997 generation of 911 models. The 991 was an entirely new platform, only the third since the original 911 launched in 1963 (the 996 of 1999 was the second new platform). Compared to the outgoing 997, the 991 is slightly larger, with the wheelbase increased by 100 mm, but more importantly a new transaxle was developed so that the rear wheels could be moved 76 millimetres backward in relation to the position of the engine, which significantly improves the weight distribution and cornering performance. Due to the use of high-strength steels, aluminium and some composites the weight has been reduced. The fantastic PDK Gearbox was yet further improved for the 991 and thanks to a longer ratio 7th Gear and the introduction of Stop/Start Technology the 991 is more economical than any 997. The 991 Carrera S has been sighted by journalists as the ultimate everyday performance car, quicker than many "supercars" and easily as comfortable as many saloons.

Introduced in 2014 and subsequently facelifted in 2016, the Targa harks back to the original G-Series and 964 variants in terms of its form. The later 993, 996 and 997 examples featured a glass panel that would retreat towards the back of the car. Comprehensively redesigned for the 991, the large glass rear section tips electronically to allow the fabric Targa top to fit flush behind the rear seats in a matter of seconds.

This facelifted 991.2 Targa was delivered new in 2018 and presents today with just 76 miles from new. The facelifted cars introduced the water-cooled 3.0 twin-turbo flat six, affording 420hp and 368lb-ft of torque. Paired with the PDK gearbox, this Targa will do 0-60 in just 3.3 seconds. This 4WD Targa 4S provides the utmost control in all weather conditions, creating opportunities all year round for wind-in-your hair experience. Supplied in Sapphire Blue Metallic over black leather interior, this example benefits from a wealth of desirable options including PDK, Porsche’s dual clutch gearbox.

Other options include, 20” 911 Turbo wheels, Sport Chrono Package, 14-way electric adjustable seats and the dynamic LED headlights (PLDS+).
