New 911 Targa expands current generation of the iconic 911
Porsche India announces arrival of the iconic 911 Targa
Mumbai. The latest generation of the elegant 911 Targa has arrived in India, with the legendary model boasting
the classic Targa concept with highly advanced roof technology. The introduction of the modern classic in the
country marks the continued progression of the Porsche 911 family, as the new Targa 4 and 4S models join the
brand’s iconic product line-up.
The new 911 Targa sees the timeless design of the original model from 1965 and the contemporary sportiness
of the seventh 911 generation fused together in perfect synergy. The return to the original concept, with its
characteristic fixed Targa bar, breathes new life into the legend with its state-of-the-art roof technology.
Anil Reddi, Director, Porsche India, says: “The 911 is a sports car which has won more races than any other
and, in this latest evolution, I believe it has never looked more spectacular. In the 911 Targa, we see the
ultimate in driving dynamics come together with stunning design and the very latest in ground-breaking roof
technology. The car’s arrival here in India signifies a new chapter in the legendary model’s evolution and I am
incredibly proud and excited to welcome it.”
Just like the original model, the new 911 Targa 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 models can be opened and closed at the push of a button in just
19 seconds, as the fully automatic roof system stows the convertible top behind the rear seats, providing a real
spectacle.
The rear-weighted design of the Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive fitted as standard is a
typicalPorsche feature and can be identified by the arches of the rear axle which have each been widened by
an additional 22 mm, with rear tyres that are each 10 mm wider.
The drivetrain concept reflects the core traits of the new 911 Targa 4 models: sportiness, safety and comfort.
The power from the flat-six engines is transmitted by an automatic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission
(PDK), which is fitted as standard.
As with its predecessors, the new Targa generation comes in two versions available exclusively with all-wheel
drive. The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.4-litre, 350 hp flat engine. When equipped with the optional Sport
Chrono package, this model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of
282 km/h.
The top model is the 911 Targa 4S, which delivers 400 hp from a displacement of 3.8 litres. This model reaches
a top speed of 296 km/h and, when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono package, accelerates in just 4.4
seconds. The 911 Targa 4S can also be specified with the Carrera S Powerkit that boosts output by 30 hp.
Equipped with direct fuel injection, both engines are sporty high revving units and excel with exemplary fuel
economy. To increase efficiency, they feature electrical system recuperation, map-controlled thermal
management of the engine coolant and an auto stop/start function.
