Iconic Targa Roof with Modern Mechanism
The 991.2 Targa 4S features a fully automatic roof system that folds the rear glass and stows the fabric top in about 19 seconds, blending retro styling with futuristic tech.
Twin-Turbocharged Flat-Six Engine
Under the rear deck sits a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine, producing 420 horsepower and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque, delivering both power and efficiency.
All-Wheel Drive as Standard
As indicated by the “4” in its name, the Targa 4S comes with Porsche’s active all-wheel drive system, offering improved grip and stability in all conditions.
Classic Targa Design Heritage
The 991.2 revives the original 1960s Targa bar design, complete with a silver roll bar, wraparound rear glass, and open-air freedom — a nod to Porsche’s heritage.
0–100 km/h in Just 4.0 Seconds
With the PDK dual-clutch transmission and optional Sport Chrono Package, the Targa 4S can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.0 seconds.
Rear-Axle Steering Option
The 991.2 Targa 4S could be optioned with rear-axle steering, improving high-speed stability and low-speed maneuverability — a rare feature in this body style.
Wide-Body Stance
The Targa 4S shares the wide rear track and flared fenders of the Carrera 4 and 4S models, giving it a planted and muscular appearance on the road.
Updated PCM Infotainment System
The 991.2 generation brought a refreshed Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with touchscreen interface, Apple CarPlay, and real-time navigation updates.
Everyday Usability
Despite its exotic looks and performance, the Targa 4S remains a comfortable and practical GT, with seating for two (plus occasional rear passengers) and decent luggage space.
Bridges Coupe and Cabriolet Worlds
The Targa 4S offers the stiffness of a coupe and the freedom of a cabriolet, making it the ideal compromise for drivers wanting both performance and open-top fun.
The Porsche 911 Targa 4S (991.2) combines the iconic Targa roof design with the 991.2's turbocharged flat-six and AWD grip. With 420 HP, a classic stainless-steel roll hoop, and all-weather capability, it’s the ultimate "open-top 911 for four seasons", standing apart from rivals like the Mercedes-AMG GT C Roadster or Audi R8 Spyder.

4. Market Trends
📈 Appreciation/Depreciation
991.2 Targas stable (last analog-feeling turbo 911).
GTS models rising ~5% yearly (increasingly collectible).
⚠️ Trap Warning
"Garage queens" with dry-rotted roof seals (check rubber condition).
5. Must-Do Checks
🔧 Mechanical:
Test roof operation (listen for motor strain/seal leaks).
Check turbos for wastegate rattle (early 991.2 issue).
Inspect AWD system (transfer case leaks = €3k).
📄 Paperwork:
Porsche "Geburtsurkunde" (Birth Certificate).
No accident history (Targa roof damage totals some cars).
Fun Fact: The Targa’s roof mechanism weighs 200 kg; yet the 991.2 is still lighter than the 992!
Who Buys This?
911 purists (who think Cabriolets are "too soft").
All-season drivers (who love top-down motoring in winter).
Design enthusiasts (obsessed with the retro-modern roof).
