It is amazing how the old Targa-type bodywork has survived into the Porsche lineup. And, in 2014, it came with an intelligent solution to satisfy the needs and pleasures of the modern age. After the coupe-cabriolet era begun offering a sporty vehicle both as a cabriolet and a coupe, Porsche had a problem. They couldn't store the whole top in the rear since they have the engine in there. But they had the Targa version. This means, that they could keep the windshield and the rear window in place and remove the top.
In 2104, at the NAIAS (National American International Auto Show), Porsche revealed the Targa 4. The targa bodywork was enhanced by a fully automatic system that allows the driver to remove the top without leaving the driver seat, like in any other coupe-cabriolet. Problem solved for Porsche. But they still had to manage the all-weather vehicle. So, it fitted the car with an all-wheel-drive system. As an option, a dual-clutch gearbox is offered while the standard is a 6-speed manual.
The interior is furnished as a very practical car, with a great driving position and some cupholders, storage compartments and a sat-nav that doesn't understand Android Auto. But it manages the Apple CarPlay.
And yes, it can go fast, thanks to that flat-six engine in the back that offers with 350 hp from the 3.4-liter displacement.
