New 991 Targa is old Targa
 

Autobild just reported that the new 991 Targa goes old school and will get a removable roof section
and a full width roll bar instead of the sliding glass-sunroof. What do u think? i like the old school more.

I like it.

Me too!
In fact, there is an aftermarket Targa Top you can buy for the 996/997 cabs, that looks pretty much exactly like it.
Unfortunately, it s unreasonably priced (11,000 EURO - $15,000), or I would be all over it.

Glad to see the 991 is going back to that configuration.

That looks really beautiful! I love the old school look. My uncle had an old school one and I loved that car, excellent look!!!

Love it.

wow wow wow!!! this made my week. i think it looks fantastic. will likely solve the two biggest problem (to me) of the 997 Targas -- the roof sqeaks and the extra weight (when removed).

do you suppose the roof mechanism will fold up and fit in the trunk or what?

Nice! :)

So sick...great to see they are delving into the past for future inspiration,

I'll bet this new targa top will squeak when its on also.

Very nice...if for real.
Can't wait to see!

Hope you're wrong - the wind noise from my 1989 Targa when the top was on was a buzz kill. I agree with everyone that it looks great!

still cant wait for the actual look of the new 991, anyway this is GOOD....

Love it. Just love it.
Really.

Awesome.

Thats a great idea!
