The Targa has been providing an altogether different 911 experience since 1963, and now the 8th-gen car has been revealed. Not only does it provide the same the 911’s thrills with its 379-horsepower boxer-six engine found in the Targa 4, but it also boasts the balletic retractable roof system that’s like a robotic canopy of the best kind. You’ll play with it just to watch the 19-second transition from coupe to open-top Targa. The roof system includes a heated glass rear window, sound-deadening fabric, and an extendable wind deflector for those high speeds. Upgrade to the 4S, and you get 443 horses, and a drop in the 0-60 time from the 4’s 4.0 seconds down to a supercar-like 3.4. And yes, you can get them both in a seven-speed manual transmission, which is exactly the way it should be.
