2011 Porsche 911 Targa

2011 Porsche 911 Targa is the combination of 911 Cabriolet at one extreme and 911 Coupé at the other, the best of both worlds. Its a  unique Porsche concept offering the freedom of a full convertible plus the security of a coupé. With its innovative and infinitely adjustable glass roof, the new 2011 Porsche 911 Targa enables you to decide exactly how much cabriolet – and how much coupé – you require. All at the push of a button from inside the cockpit, and even when driving at speed.

This car is a dream to drive, the traction control feature enables amazing handling – making it almost impossible to drive badly! The power (320bhp) is awesome and makes motorway driving a joy, as soon as you put your foot down you can feel the power pushing you back into your seat, but you also feel totally safe and confident of the car’s grip on the road…and don’t even get me started on the sexy growl of the engine! The secret of The 2011 Porsche 911 Targa is its innovative glass roof, which can be steplessly adjusted to any position you require. It’s easy to operate, using a button on the centre console, and can also be adjusted on the move.

2011 Porsche 911 Targa floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee; it can motor at extra-legal velocities with no apparent effort, then carve-up a twisting road and leave it for dead. As the roar increases and the scenery begins to blur, the car gains control rather than loses it. The footwork is dazzling. Class. Pure class. The new 2011 2011 Porsche 911 Targa is nothing more than a Carrera with a bloody great sunroof. To prevent occupants from roasting, the glasshouse comes with a sliding shade. To admit what little light the English summer can muster, the plastic shade must be retracted backwards, over what convention would call the “rear window”. Visibility? Gone.

The Interior is spacious up front but the back seats are a bit small, but it’s a sports coupe so what do you expect! One hundred kilometers per hour takes only 5.0-seconds. Sure there are quicker but few as refined, and none that come closes to resembling the phat combination of sounds emanating from deep within the rear engine bay. It’s a tractable engine too, with tons of torque way down in its lower rev range thanks to a fair dose of displacement and variable-valve timing. 2011 Porsche 911 Targa is amazingly fuel efficient, it’s variocam technology effectively giving you a dual engine that automatically switches between urban and motorway driving, averaging around 25mpg, despite it’s 3.6 litre capacity, and the computerised screen on the dash gives you various readouts including Average MPG and how many miles before the next fill-up, which is always handy! Of course with a 2011 Porsche 911 Targa in the garage, or just about any Porsche for that matter, days will never be average again. To coin an old but particularly apropos phrase, all of a sudden there’s an entirely new reason to wake up in the morning.
