There’s no shortage of versions of the Porsche 911, but no convertible sports car puts a bigger smile on your face than this one does.
. The ingredients aren't unfamiliar; it's a 911 with a Targa roof, all-wheel drive, and GTS goodies. Combined, however, they make a truly wonderful and daily-service open-top sports car. Before you even ask: Yes, it's available with a manual transmission, too.If you're on the hunt for the most engaging roofless 911—nay, the most engaging rooflessThe 911 Targa 4 GTS has a laundry list of a name, but it's an accurate one.
Owing to its all-wheel drive and turbocharged hardware, power rolls on as a mighty swell. It pulls the 911 through straights and ebbs on command for wonderful midcorner balance. The brake bite is sharp but progressive. The clutch is stiff but deliberate. The quick steering is weighted perfectly and feels gloriously direct. Prior to the invention of modern steering assists and stability systems, it was easy to applaud the engine's rear placement for this phenomenon.
Yet, the shifter is perhaps the most rewarding tactile point in the entire car. It's amazing what 10 fewer millimeters will do: The tidied-up shift action is heavy but smooth, slotting positively into the well-defined gates with a substantive clunk each time. It's a clear-cut sensation that ranks up there with the first arpeggio you nail on a freshly tuned piano.
The price for all this is expectedly high: Before options, the Targa 4S starts at around $160,000. After options—which include the aforementioned rear-axle steering and Truffle interior leather, as well as front-axle lift and 18-way sport seats—you're looking at a sticker north of $180,000. This was supercar money not too long ago, and if you don't know what you're looking at, the understated Targa 4 GTS could be any other 911.
Chocolate doesn't even have to be your favorite food, but chances are it offers everyone's favorite flavor. I know which one I prefer.
