The Carrera and Carrera S Coupés appeared in July 2004, followed a few months later by the cabriolet versions. The four-wheel drive Carrera 4 and Carrera 4S models were launched in November 2005, followed by the open-top 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S. Sportier versions such as the GT3, RS and Turbo appeared in 2006, while the most powerful version, the GT2, only came in 2007.
