At least it looks reasonably engineered, as opposed to the last one which was basically a cab with a fixed roof...

Complete waste of R&D money, which could be spent making the 997/997TT lighter and or faster. The 996 targa was a flop, and the 997 will be too.

The 993 targa roof was just stuck onto a cab. At least this appears to be a one piece body.

The Targe isn't a true Targa, IMO. It still has a pillar across the roof line.

The 996 targa is based on the coupe and not the cab version. That was only true with the 993 targa. I like this one, hope it goes into production.

I agree, it's just a large sunroof.
