Last year saw the return of the 911 Targa, the perfect way to tell people that while you could have a convertible 911, you prefer a hardtop made out of glass. And while the retracting platform space opera of the Targa’s roof opening and closing is pretty cool, more than one person looked at all that gizmo and thought, “What a bunch of extra weight!”
Well, worry no longer. Following the Stuttgartian playbook, Porsche has revealed the 911 Targa 4 GTS this week at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Is it crazy? Yes. Is it necessary? Debatable. Is it more powerful? You bet.
What we do know is that flying though the Italian countryside, Algerian countryside, or any countryside, really, with a bottle of wine in the passenger seat and a glass roof in the back will be incomparably more joyous in the hardcore GTS variant. That’s just how life works, it’s science.
Head over to Jalopnik to bathe your GTS-deprived eyes in images of the new Targa GTS, then break out your checkbook. Summer will be here before you know it.
