2022 PORSCHE C4S TARGA
Finished in the ever popular Crayon with stunning contrasting a Bordeaux Red Leather interior UK Porsche Reading Supplied Targa S is an opportunity to beat the long waiting lists.
With a superb spec from new, the One owner example features a whole host of factory options that listed at over £160,000!
Originally designed to be a safer version of the Cabriolet, the first Targa featured a manually removable roof and a roll-hoop to protect occupants in the event of a crash. It was cutting-edge for 1965 and provided real benefits over a traditional open-top.
Now Cabriolets are much safer, and the 992-based Targa’s iconic roll-hoop is now a skeuomorphic flourish, there in part for chassis stiffness – but mainly for looks. Still, the roof disappears in 19 seconds, and the engineering required to make it happen is impressive.
This is very much a sports car where you can lean on the mid-range torque for quick progress, rather than rev out. In fact, while the Targa’s flat six sounds good, it’s a touch too whooshy at full chat to really enjoy. Still, though, for a car with turbocharged engine, the 911’s throttle response is intensely crisp at any speed.

"Overall, this is also clearly as capable as the Targa gets, with unbreakable traction, nigh-unbreakable grip, plenty of accuracy and pretty outrageous reserves of composure even on more inhospitable British B-roads. Able to hit 62mph in 3.5sec, with commensurately rapid in-gear performance, it's also faster than anybody needs, with a deliciously crisp dual-clutch gearbox playing its part. It is a stunning powertrain with a chassis to match, but is also happy enough bumbling along at 1600rpm"
