Let's be honest about one thing here: the people who will buy the 911 Targa weren't around in 1965 and some of them probably don't even care about the heritage. Porsche knows this and that's why the car makes sense all on its own, without all the retro/heritage mumbo jumbo.
For its very first promo clip, entitled "Tomorrow's Classics", the Targa strikes a 100% modern figure. To the backdrop of imposing architecture, it allures you into thinking the open air feeling is perfectly delivered by only one car in the world, this one.
While we can admit the Targa is not going to be the cheapest car in the world, taxing some owners of about €150,000 in car+options, Porsche really has done a great job. For a second, this car will make your forget all about the R8 Spyder, the Bentley GTC or Ferrari California.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
