New 911 Targa expands current generation of the iconic 911

Porsche India announces arrival of the iconic 911 Targa

Mumbai. The latest generation of the elegant 911 Targa has arrived in India, with the legendary model boasting

the classic Targa concept with highly advanced roof technology. The introduction of the modern classic in the

country marks the continued progression of the Porsche 911 family, as the new Targa 4 and 4S models join the

brand’s iconic product line-up.

The new 911 Targa sees the timeless design of the original model from 1965 and the contemporary sportiness

of the seventh 911 generation fused together in perfect synergy. The return to the original concept, with its

characteristic fixed Targa bar, breathes new life into the legend with its state-of-the-art roof technology.

Anil Reddi, Director, Porsche India, says: “The 911 is a sports car which has won more races than any other

and, in this latest evolution, I believe it has never looked more spectacular. In the 911 Targa, we see the

ultimate in driving dynamics come together with stunning design and the very latest in ground-breaking roof

technology. The car’s arrival here in India signifies a new chapter in the legendary model’s evolution and I am

incredibly proud and excited to welcome it.”

Just like the original model, the new 911 Targa features the characteristic wide bar in place of the B-pillars, a

movable roof section above the front seats and a wraparound rear window with no C-pillar. But unlike the

classic models, the roof segment on the new models can be opened and closed at the push of a button in just

19 seconds, as the fully automatic roof system stows the convertible top behind the rear seats, providing a real

spectacle.

The rear-weighted design of the Porsche Traction Management all-wheel drive fitted as standard is a

typicalPorsche feature and can be identified by the arches of the rear axle which have each been widened by

an additional 22 mm, with rear tyres that are each 10 mm wider.

The drivetrain concept reflects the core traits of the new 911 Targa 4 models: sportiness, safety and comfort.

The power from the flat-six engines is transmitted by an automatic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission

(PDK), which is fitted as standard.

As with its predecessors, the new Targa generation comes in two versions available exclusively with all-wheel

drive. The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.4-litre, 350 hp flat engine. When equipped with the optional Sport

Chrono package, this model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of

282 km/h.

The top model is the 911 Targa 4S, which delivers 400 hp from a displacement of 3.8 litres. This model reaches

a top speed of 296 km/h and, when equipped with the optional Sport Chrono package, accelerates in just 4.4

seconds. The 911 Targa 4S can also be specified with the Carrera S Powerkit that boosts output by 30 hp.

Equipped with direct fuel injection, both engines are sporty high revving units and excel with exemplary fuel

economy. To increase efficiency, they feature electrical system recuperation, map-controlled thermal

management of the engine coolant and an auto stop/start function.

The new 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S are available at all Porsche Centres in India. The basic ex-showroom

prices are as follows:

911 Targa 4 (Delhi) INR 15,900,000
