TARGA Headroom?

Does the Targa 4/4S have additional headroom as compared to a Coupe?

Thanks, JohnnyB

Yes, the Targa has more headroom than the coupe. I think it's even got a little more headroom than the coupe with the sunshade closed as well. I'm not sure if that's true in the back seats though.

From Porsche's own press room:

"Sumptuous purposeful interior:
The 911 Targa 4 and 911 Targa 4S offer their occupants a luxurious interior designed for both comfort and enthusiastic driving. The large cabin allowed the engineers to place the pedals closer to the firewall which further increases legroom for taller drivers. The seats are mounted close to the floor which keeps the center of gravity as low as possible while creating more headroom..."

Plus the hatch back is clutch. - rearward visibility with the top open is kind of a drag, but I think the Targas are awesome.

I mean - check my girlfriend. She could probably wear a TOP HAT in there:



Good times.

I had a 07 T4S for a couple of years, and never knew the seats were lower or the pedals were mounted further forward. I find it hard to believe they made such changes for the Targas. I loved mine.
