The Appeal
Every once in a while, a car comes along that ticks all the right boxes. This is one of them.
Here we have a 2010 997.2 generation Porsche 911 Targa 4S. Let's take a moment to break down what all that means: Firstly, the '.2' makes all the difference here, featuring significant updates like direct fuel injection (DFI) engines, new LED taillights, redesigned bumpers, and the introduction of the PDK dual-clutch transmission, making it faster, more efficient, and more reliable than the earlier 997.1 models. As the 'Targa', this 911 features an electrically operated glass sliding roof, and as a '4S', it features all-wheel drive, in this case mated to the lightening-fast PDK seven-speed semi-automatic transmission. The spec is great too, from the slick colour scheme to the desirable Sports Chrono Pack.
For those in search of 'Peak modern 911', this might well be it.
