Sporty GTS on a heavy Targa top
If you notice, type 992Porsche 911The variation of is increasing completely. It ranges from basic Carrera to GT3, but there may not be many people who move their index fingers to the Targa 4 GT S.
One of the reasons is the price. The rear-wheel drive Carrera GTS Coupe has a price tag of £ 111,380 that hangs in the UK. On the other hand, the Targa 4 GTS costs £ 126,760.
The milder Targa 4 S starts at £ 115,920. The combination of Targa top with open roof and GTS is not cheap.
If you want to enjoy an open-air drive with a Porsche 911, regardless of grade, many people will choose a cabriolet. The elimination of the rigid roof integrated with the body no longer creates a clear weakness in the 911. The soft top can be opened and closed even while driving at low speeds.
In the Targa top, the rear glass part protrudes behind the car body during the opening and closing operation. It’s impossible unless you stop the car completely once.
Furthermore, among the current 911, the Targa 4 is the heaviest. Finishing it with a sporty GTS flavor also leaves a not-so-small question. The suspension is a hardcore turbo. It can be said that the suspension is premised on ambitious driving.
Suspension springs are very stiff. A helper spring is added to the rear side so that the spring does not loosen when the chassis floats.
A special car feeling that creates a fascinating appearance
Despite such doubts, the appeal of the Targa 4 GTS is definitely high. If you actually drive, you can nod that the combination of Targa top and GTS is not bad.
The engine is equipped with the same 3.0L horizontally opposed 6-cylinder twin turbo as the Targa 4 S. However, the maximum output has been increased from the standard 450ps to 480ps. This would be a welcome change.
The test drive is a centerlock wheel with a front of 20 inches and a rear of 21 inches, which is sharp.smartI wore a nice turbo S aluminum wheel. The brakes are the same as the 911 Turbo.
First of all, I am fascinated by the low-profile appearance. The combination of a large dome-shaped rear glass that covers the upper part of the rear tire and a roll bar that draws an arc is fascinating. It is also good that it is finished in black instead of silver.
A body color called GT Silver and an 18-way sports seat were added as options to the Targa 4 GT S this time. UK prices had reached nearly £ 140,000.
