We are pleased to offer a beautifully-specified 997 Generation II Targa 4S, in a classic traditional colour combination, with the much sought-after manual gearbox, and of course Porsche’s four-wheel drive system as standard.
During 2009 Porsche updated the 997 line-up including styling changes, and a revised engine producing 385 HP, with direct fuel injection. As a result, the updated 997 models were faster (0 - 60 mph in just 5. 0 secs, 177 mph), lighter and more fuel efficient than the outgoing versions, with improved handling. The four-wheel drive cars remained distinctively wider and more purposeful, and the Targas benefited from having a more pliant suspension set-up.
The Generation II vehicles received positive reviews from the worldwide motoring press; even British motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson, a known detractor of Porsche cars, noted that the 997 will "make love to your fingertips and stir your soul."
The 997 Targas are equipped with a 1. 54 sq/ m glass roof and hatch. At any speed, the roof can be opened in just 7 secs, to slide back underneath the hatch. When the glass roof is retracted, a small glass deflector is raised above the windshield to aid aerodynamic stability, whilst still retaining a wonderful wind-in-the-hair experience. The glass itself incorporates a UV filter to keep temperatures comfortable in the cabin, letting through only 17 percent of the thermal energy of sunlight.
Supplied new by Porsche Centre Tonbridge, the vehicle has benefitted from 5 services all carried out by Porsche main dealers. It has its drivers’ book pack and spare key and VTS remote fobs. Available to view at our London showrooms.
