Model history:

The new 911 Targa made its debut at the 2006 Paris Motor Show as part of Porsche's 997 model generation. Now in its third generation, it was based on the concept of the electrically retracting glass roof. Its technology was further refined compared with the previous model. This applied in particular to noise development. For the first time since 1993, when production of the last classic 911 Targa came to an end with the 964, it was again available with all-wheel drive. From then on, it was even the only form of drive in which the "glass coupe" was available. Accordingly, the vehicle bore the designation 911 Targa 4, and a Targa 4S was also available later. In 2008, the models received a facelift.
