New 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S revealed!

Porsche has revealed the new 2021 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S (it’s a virtual debut in lieu of the canceled 2020 Beijing Motor Show…) and for pure style, they are both pretty hard to beat.

Just like previous iterations of the model, this one features an automatic roof system which can be opened and closed in just 19 seconds.

Both variants feature a twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine - the Targa 4 delivers 380 horsepower and 450Nm of torque while the Targa 4S churns out 444 horses and 530 Nm of torque.

Porsche says the 911 Targa 4 will hit 0-100kph in 4.2 seconds while the Targa 4S will reach the same mark in 3.6 seconds. Top speed for the Targa 4 and Targa 4S sit at 289kph and 304kph respectively.

Both models feature an eight-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission and intelligent all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management as standard. Interestingly, the Targa 4S is available with the company’s new seven-speed manual transmission.

The duo also use Porsche Active Suspension Management that automatically adjusts the damping characteristics for the perfect comfort and handling in every driving situation. Also featured is Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus that uses an electronic rear differential lock with fully variable torque distribution.

All 911 Targa 4 models feature 19in wheels at the front while the rear features 20in wheels. Meanwhile, the 4S comes standard with 20in front wheels and 21in rear wheels.

Stopping power comes from four-piston calipers and 330mm discs at all four corners for the 4 while the 4S sports bigger brakes; six-piston front calipers and four-piston calipers at the rear with 350mm discs. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes are available as an option.
