Are there any other differences besides the exterior and engine? I am uprading from TaRGA 4S to TT next week. Curious to know if there are any unusual changes between the two. (for thanksexample higher end stereo)



thanks!

I don't know the answer for sure but I think some of these apply:

Bigger Brakes
Interior has standard full leather, silver gauges
Radio might be the same if Targa has Bose option
Standard Navigation

The engine and transmission are the biggest differences, dry sump race proven, instead of mass produced out sourced M96 crap. The AWD is also different on the Turbo, as well as the LSD.

Not sure why anybody would get a targa 4s, pricewise you're already in tt/gt3 land. why pay a premium for a mediocre engine/tranny.
A tt is on a whole different planet than a t4s.
