Targa 4S is 110kg heavier than C4S coupe and 40kg heavier than the C4S cab.

That's pretty heavy.... Nevertheless, I like it an awful lot!

I kind of like it. Being a coupe guy who would never personally own a cabriolet, I would consider this car. Need to see it in person. No arguing the engineering involved is awesome. Maybe a few too many moving pieces?

Yes, pretty heavy! Kudos to Porsche though for making it totally automated.

I loved the old 80's Targa. When I lived in the NW it was a perfect car. You could take the top off, roll the windows up, turn on the seat heaters, and drive in the 40 degree weather and be comfortable. That being said with the new Cabs (I own one) you can do basically the same thing with the deflector up and the windows up. Love the Targa but not sure it's much benefit over a cab these days.

True, but I also wouldn't mind if it was "just" a detachable roofpanels that can be put in the frunk... Just like the 918

I'm allergic to rattles... So let's hope this solution is rattle-free.

Ok, yeah, I want this car. I was looking at older ones... forget that now.

Now I gotta pay off my GTS extra fast so I can get in line!

ATWIH.....Targa will be around 30k over base.....we will have to wait for final figures.

I think it looks okay with the top back but awkward with it up. Too many textures/colors.
