Model history of the Porsche 911 2. 2 T Targa
The Porsche 911 2. 2 T Targa was introduced in 1969 as an evolution of the famous 911 series. The designation “2. 2” refers to the engine displacement of its flat-six, 2, 184 cm³, offering an ideal compromise between power and reliability for the era.
This Targa version, characterised by its removable roof and stainless steel rollover bar, embodies Porsche’s innovation: combining the enjoyment of an open roadster with the safety and rigidity of a coupe. The Targa model was designed in collaboration with Carrozzeria Reutter and quickly became a highly sought-after alternative to the classic 911 Coupe and Cabriolet.
The “T” (Touring) engine of this 911 develops 125 horsepower, offering spirited and dynamic performance while remaining accessible to drivers seeking authentic driving pleasure. The five-speed manual gearbox ensures precise gear changes, while the lightweight chassis and independent rear suspension provide remarkable handling, faithful to the 911 reputation.
Produced between 1969 and 1971, the 2. 2 T Targa stands out for its versatility and reliability. It remains a particularly sought-after model among collectors, not only for its timeless design but also for its proven technology, which laid the foundations for all later 911 Targas.
Today, this Porsche 911 2. 2 T Targa symbolises elegance, sportiness and German engineering of the 1960s, and remains an essential icon for enthusiasts of open, high-performance and historically important classic cars.
