Porsche is the only manufacturer that can get away with naming a model for its style of roof without coming off as cheesey.
Here in Paris, Porsche introduced the 997-based 911 Targa, announcing that for the first time, Targas will be available in AWD form only--no RWD Targas will be made.
With model designations Targa 4 and Targa 4S, these are essentially Carrera 4 and 4S models with a gigantic sliding moonroof and pop-up rear glass. This means that all Targa models also share those models' widebody sheetmetal, which is 44mm wider than a standard Carrera Coupe.
The 997-based Targa's retractable roof panel and hatch assembly are installed as a module... Not sure what its SPF is, but the retractable negligee-esque mesh, which is the only thing keeping hairdos away from the plastic panel overhead, is intended to partially shade scalps from sunburn.

Beautiful. Love the orange color.
I was talking to my son tonight (a gear head), and having an Audi S4 Cabriolet, I thought that the only logical step up from my car would be a Porsche 911. Although I may have to go with another convertible, if I can't choose, the Targa 4 or 4S may be the perfect compromise between the two.
Ahh nothing radical at porshe although this new Targa looks somwhat more interesting than regular 911s...
