It is said that power corrupts. The new 355 hp Porsche Targa 4S corrupts absolutely. Having broken free of city limits, the Targa’s all-wheel drive transfered the full power of the Boxster V6 to the road, turning the 4S into a bright red thunderbolt. Feeling as if I had stolen Zeus’ personal chariot, I pushed the Porsche into triple digits until congestion brought me back to the world of the mortal. Once the initial godlike sensation subsided, the Targa’s minor flaws became apparent. The wind noise from the open roof is perturbing while the 6 speed gear box is loose and feels like an old Porsche sounds. Shortcomings aside, however, the Targa 4S is a worthy agent for any being, and, in true Porsche fashion, garners looks from the loveliest of goddesses.—MotoMatt Cokeley
Dudes!! (Dudettes?)
You show us a pic of that studly Porsche Targa 4S, then clicking it brings up only another small pic of the same size??
Whazzattabout?
Per the Unwritten Rules of the Info Superhighway: When one clicks a pic of a psycho-car, one wants to see a honkin' (no pun intended) big, hi-rez shot one can use for one's wallpaper -- at least for a day or two. Untll one sees a screamin' shot of a new yellow monster sports bike to repalce it.
C'mon. Get with it. Deliver.
We expect greatness of you.

The Targa for it's specifications is a remarkably energy-efficient vehicle and possibly a role-model for future sports cars.

The car is equipped with a Boxer (horizontally opposed) flat 6, not a V6 and not from the Boxster.

Is Targa still used to be manufacture? Because, i can't found this model in the official site of Porsche. I know this is an official model. But want to ask, if it is still in production.
