What a treat is this Porsche 997 Targa 4S. A neat car with a demonstrable odometer reading of only 54241 km! The low mileage is also reflected in the clean condition of the exterior and especially the interior. Thus, the seats and all buttons still look like new and everything feels nice and solid.
Only 1426 examples of the 2008 Porsche Targa 4S were delivered, making it a collector’s item from day one. The previous owners recognized this and therefore took good care of it. The 997 is dealer and Porsche specialist maintained, booklets and invoices are present with the car.
What makes this 997 extra tasty is the option list. It is equipped with fine options such as automatic climate control, a black leather interior with electrically adjustable seats and seat heating, BOSE sound system, Bi-Xenon headlights, Porsche ‘Lobster’ style alloy wheels, Techart sports steering wheel, cruise-control and PDC.
Unlike the first 911 Targa models delivered, the 997 has a Targa roof that slides away under the rear window. With the roof closed, the entire roof is a large glass panel which brings a lot of light into the interior while creating a spacious feeling. If you open the Targa roof, the glass panel slides under the rear window and you can enjoy the open air. A clever system which ensures that the 997 Targa retains the beautiful lines of the coupe while still giving you the open feeling of a convertible. An additional advantage of the Targa is that the rear window can be opened so that you can easily put something on the back seat.
The 997 Targa was only available with all-wheel drive, so as a Targa 4 or Targa 4S. This is the most powerful variant, the 4S, with a 6 cylinder boxer engine good for 355 hp and 400 Nm of torque. The sprint from 0-100 km/h can be done in 5.4 seconds and the top speed is on an Autobahn friendly 280 km/h.
In short, for those who want a timeless, well cared for and rare Porsche 911 with a low odometer reading, this is a very suitable candidate. So feel free to drop by for a viewing/trip drive and let the Porsche convince you.
