The Porsche 911 comes in various versions. Of these, the 911 Targa remains one of the most distinctive. Back then, as well as now, it is recognizable by its unique roll bar. However, with the last air-cooled Porsche, the 993, a new, very beautiful concept was introduced. It retained the lines of a coupé, was fitted with chrome window frames and a fantastic panoramic glass sunroof. This could be darkened with an electrically operated roller blind. A beautifully designed and distinctive concept, which is also practical because the entire rear window can be folded up to provide optimal accessibility.
The 997 Targa 4 we are offering is the most sought-after facelift model, powered by the 345 hp 3.6-liter direct-injection 6-cylinder boxer engine mated to a 7-speed PDK gearbox. That is a fantastic gearbox that shifts super fast; whether you have it in automatic mode or manual and shift via the paddle shifters, it always happens in an instant and is always ready to transfer the engine’s formidable torque.
Delivered in the country of production, Germany, on October 31, 2008, the car remained there until it was registered in the Netherlands on October 1, 2009, with three owners to date. Loving owners, as is evident in every detail, both interior and exterior. The beautiful black leather interior looks brand new, without a single blemish or stain. Truly sublime. The bodywork is exactly as befits an enthusiast’s car, free of scratches and dents, and features immaculately polished paintwork.
Not only the exterior but also the technology is up to date. Invoices, maintenance booklets, etc., everything is present. Below is a list of the maintenance performed and who carried it out.

Everything indicates that this Porsche 997.2 Targa 4 has had a fine life. One that the owners have enjoyed, and we would like to see that continued by someone with the same passion for the legendary brand.
If you choose the Targa version, you will notice that not very many are on offer, making it a unique car within the 911 series. Do you want a delightful four-wheel-drive 911 Coupe? Not a convertible and not a closed version either? Then, in our opinion, this Targa is certainly worth considering, and we would love to hear from you to arrange a surprising test drive.
