If you were to ask me which is the most attractive model series in Porsche? Put aside before, I would definitely reply that you are level opposed to the king of self-priming GT3 RS. And now, I will definitely choose the Targa without hesitation, it is like the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and its unique shape makes it the most romantic and special style in the Porsche 911 family.
Watching this 911 Targa 4S quietly stop there, suddenly evoking your memories of your first love, not far away, a young girl with a green smile and a hairpin is standing under the tree waiting for your arrival, compared with those "supermodels" with heavy makeup and full costumes, she looks more fresh and unworldly.
In order to improve the stability of the chassis, the four-wheel drive models in the Porsche 911 family have widened the body, and the rear fenders have been extended outward by a total of 44 mm. So, in addition to the iconic B-pillar and cheek-like trim, the fuller body also adds a lot to the Targa's appearance.
The wrap-around B-pillar design is the hallmark of the Targa model, but this unique hardtop lift structure allows the body to add nearly 195kg of weight to the carrera of the same class, but after the performance of the vehicle is further improved, these shortcomings are gradually covered by the charm it brings.
The folding of the entire roof takes 19s, and due to the heavy and huge reasons of the glass cover, the folding of the roof needs to be done at the vehicle stands still.
The "back" vertical grille and tail mid-mounted double-outlet exhaust pipes are one of the design elements of the 991.2 generation Targa models, with high-speed air flowing from the roof entering the car through the rear grille, and the active tail wing can be opened when the cabin requires heat dissipation and the vehicle reaches a certain level of speed per hour. Combined with the tail lights of the body, it improves the recognition of the rear of the car.
The combination of five round gauges and a 10.9-inch touchscreen display gives the interior atmosphere a sense of precision industrial seriousness, which is the impression that the Porsche brand has always given.
For automatic sports cars, the shift mechanism is less important, and it has now been reduced to a mahjong block-sized style. However, from my personal point of view, although the process of hanging gear is slightly awkward, it does not affect its functionality in the slightest.
If you're a crazy driver, when the depot hardens your suspension, removes the stereo and air conditioner, and tells you to lose 100kg, you're probably going to smirk. And if you are a person who likes romance and appreciates the moment, then I believe that after adding a large glass cover with a weight of 195kg, the corners of your mouth will involuntarily smile, just like I am now.
Driving it on the road, the car is not fast, I can hardly feel any turbo lag in the engine, and the acceleration ability is even more terrifying. It often makes me laugh and close my mouth, as if someone else is driving a four-wheeled car and I'm driving a flying saucer. The sound wave coming from the back of the ear is remembered from time to time, which is transparent and pure, as if it has been Certified by Dolby and THX.
The mode selection knob is more like testing your endurance, and the sense of acceleration becomes more aggressive with the different names of the driving mode. If the current gear is 5 gears, in the case of the same speed, after switching to Sport, the gearbox will be reduced to 4 gears; and switching to sport+, the gearbox will cut directly into 2 gears, and during this time you can feel the restlessness in the car body, but you will not perceive any obvious setbacks.
The 911 Targa 4S is definitely an approachable car, and anyone can drive it fast. She is like a well-known bridesmaid, full of wisdom in her heart, but also very understanding, she will not be like the typical supercars on the market, especially the Italian sports car of the hot temper of the sexy special, will not from time to time and then splash your face with martini, so that you are fascinated at the same time to bother to please her. From a universal point of view, she is very close to perfection.
