If the piece of Zuffenhausen madness we have here seems familiar to you, it's probably because Porsche introduced the 911 Targa 4S Exclusive Design Edition back in August, at the AvD Oldtimer Granprix held on the Nurburgring.
However, we just couldn't help but share the video below with you, since this brings us a bit of delicious background, explaining how this open-air Neunelfer came to be.
To put things shortly, the German automaker decided to let its dealers, instead of its Porsche Exclusive customisation arm studio specialist, handle the spec of this Targa.
And boy, oh boy did the dealers go all the way for the special edition - the Exclusive Design Edition comes with a price tag of $186,835, which means that, compared to the "standard" Targa 4S, it has over $60,000 worth of goodies.
So, what do you get for taking such a deep dive into the Porsche Exclusive optional extra list? For the record, this kind of money would bring you a gifted 718 Boxster.
We won't go over the "usual" options such as the 18-way adjustable sport seats or the Premium Package Plus, focusing on the uber-special details of this edition instead.
It all starts with the Etna Blue color, which is used for the exterior, the cabin, as well as the key fob. This is a retro hue, one that pays homage to the 356 that started it all.
In a move that has become a signature one for all-out Porsche Exclusive contraptions, the dashboard air vents are wrapped in Blue leather, while dash lettering lets everybody know this is a product of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Oh, and let's not forget the Exclusive Design Edition door entry sills.
In the end, we're dealing with the kind of Porsche that will easily split opinions - these special editions usually sell out quickly, while plenty of buyers sit at home, wondering why somebody would pay that much for a bunch of options.
