Not yet... The German configurator is online, but there's no option to get the Targa-bar painted (yet). However, I guess it won't take long before Porsche will offer that option.

It looks better than the cab IMO. I would take this over a cab in a heartbeat. (At least with the roof up, I don't really like the cab), but different people, different tastes of course. That's the beauty of the 911... A flavour for almost every taste.

I am looking forward to seeing this Targa in person.

Needs more hp. I suggest they put the power kit in as STANDARD. 430 hp.

Based on the pics, Targa is not my taste, but I will have to reserve judgment until I see one on the road or at the dealer. I can't say it looks bad, as I think the 991 has such beautiful and classic lines, it doesn't and can't look bad in any iteration.

OR put a 4.0 engine in it guys! The other carmakers are jacking up the hp at an alarming rate so we need a little more displacement!!

I think.... No, I know that I am smitten!!!! I just hope that it does rattle. However, I am sure with this much engineering they got it totally right. That blue looks unbelievable. Which color is that? When will it be available?

I love the look, but I'm sorry it needs more power.

"As far as U.S. pricing is concerned, the base 911 Targa 4 will have an MSRP of $101,600 while the 911 Targa 4S model starts at $116,200, with both prices excluding a destination charge of $995."

Too much for a 400 hp car. I'm sorry but it is. Spend the extra and get a GT3 or a Turbo for God's sakes.

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

I think it's hideous.. Ruins the esthetic lines of the roof to back....

One reason I've never gotten a cab is that I don't think it looks very good with the top up.. The lines are ruined.. (Although the 991 is better in this regard than 997) But with the top down the cab is gorgeous..

But This is just fugly.. No thanks and it still looks a bit smokey and bandit TA..

You may have a point there. I also think it looks better than cabrio.

But I prefer the Coupe to both.

I'm quite surprised at how I've completely reversed my original thoughts and now really like it! It just needs a little power boost to offset the extra weight.
