Launch of the new Porsche Targa in Singapore

The all-new 911 Targa 4S was launched at Porsche Center Singapore last week with a special guest appearance by Grant Larson, designer of the 911 Targa.  More than 200 guests witnessed the unveiling of the latest generation of the extravagant 911 Model. The model is the first to combine the classic Targa concept with state-of-the-art roof technology.  Just like the original Targa, the new model has the wide bar instead of B pillars, a moving roof part above the front seats a wrap-around rear window without C pillars.  Unlike the older classic models, the roof panel can now be opened and closed at the press of a button.

The fully automated roof system stows the roof behind the rear seats in a spectacular way. The latest version of the 911 features the typical Porsche PTM all-wheel drive system that by design transfers proportionately more power to the rear wheels. This system guarantees maximum driving performance on a variety of road surfaces and in all weather conditions.

The new generation Targa is being launched in two variants with all-wheel drive exclusively. In the 911 Targa 4, features a 3.4 liter engine with an output of 350 hp. It runs from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 282km/h with a manual transmission.

The top model is the 911 Targa 4S which develops 400hp from a 3.8 liter engine. Its top speed is 296km/h with a sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 4.4 seconds when equipped with PDK and the Sport Chrono package. The engine and vehicle performance data as well as fuel efficiency are equivalent to those of the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. Both cars are certified to the Euro-6 standard.
