| Forgoing the traditional rear-wheel drive layout
of earlier 911 Targas, the sixth-generation model runs
all-wheel-drive on all models. Targa 4 is powered by a 3.6-liter
325-hp, 273-lb-ft flat six-cylinder engine; Targa 4S gets the
3.8-liter, 355-hp, 295-lb-ft flat six. Porsche says Targa 4 hits
0-60 mph in 5.1-seconds, Targa 4S in 4.7 seconds. A six-speed
manual gearbox is standard, with a five-speed Tiptronic
automatic optional. A double-clutch manual-automatic gearbox
will be a likely addition to the options list in the
not-too-distant-future. |
