Prominently displayed is the polished roll hoop, while the back glass is an uninterrupted, curved expanse.

Around back is the 3.0-liter flat-six engine with twin turbos. The Targa 4 does 0-62 in 4.2 seconds. If that’s not good enough, the 911 Targa 4S does it in 3.6 seconds. An eight-speed PDK is standard for both as is all-wheel drive. However, if you love a more traditional feel, the Targa 4S can be ordered with a seven-speed manual transmission.
