2013 Porsche 911 Targa
2013 Porsche 911 Targa - The 2013 Porsche 911 Targa has been caught by our spy photographers.The Porsche 911 Targa will likely be introduced early next year with sales starting shortly thereafter. Engine options should carryover from the standard model, so expect a 3.4-liter with 350 PS (257 kW / 345 hp) and 390 Nm (288 lb-ft) of torque as well as a 3.8-liter with 400 PS (294 kW / 394 hp) and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque. Both can be connected to a seven-speed manual or a seven-speed PDK transmission.
The ‘Targa’ version of the latest 991-series Porsche 911 has been spotted testing in prototype form, with engineers from Porsche attempting to disguise the car as a regular convertible model. The soft-top roof fitted to the prototype is a ruse to hide what’s underneath, namely, a fixed center roll bar similar to the one that debuted on the first 911 Targa all the way back in 1967. Other than the roof system, the new Porsche 911 Targa should essentially be the same as the 911 Carrera or Carrera S, depending on whether the sportier option is chosen.
