About This Car
Sixteen moving parts, nineteen seconds, zero drama — the 911 Targa's roof still folds like nothing else on the road
Run a hand along the brushed stainless Targa bar and you'll notice it's polished, not painted — a detail Porsche insists on for a component most owners will touch a thousand times before they ever really look at it. That bar hides one of the most deliberate pieces of engineering still in production: a roof mechanism built from sixteen parts that fold the fabric top beneath the rear glass in under nineteen seconds, at a dead stop, because Porsche decided precision mattered more than doing it on the move.
Underneath, the formula stays honest. Four seats, a flat-six behind the driver, an automatic gearbox tuned for the same unhurried confidence as the roof — this is a car engineered to reward attention rather than demand it. Balanced through corners, composed at speed, the Targa does what a 911 has always done, correctly, and lets the details speak.
Petrol-fed, four-seat, automatic — the numbers are almost beside the point. What matters is the sense that every surface, every hinge, every louvre behind that rear side glass was considered on purpose. This is the 911 you rent when you already know what you're looking for.
