Car of the Month
1975 Porsche 911S Targa and 2016 Porsche 911 Targa 4S
The Targa has been a stalwart of the Porsche 911 lineup since 1967 when Porsche – in anticipation of rollover safety requirements that would make it difficult for fully open convertibles to meet regulations for sale in Porsche’s important U.S. market – added a distinctive stainless steel-clad roll bar to the 911. Instead of a fully retractable top, the Targa sported a removable center panel and a plastic rear window.
