This week, what we consider to be the real hidden gem in the Porsche 911 991.2 generation - the mighty C4S Targa. Steeped in history, beautiful to behold, featuring THAT folding roof, and now packing serious flat-6 twin-turbo firepower.
The Targa used to be the wimpy runt of the litter (993, 996, 997 & 991.1), but this final edition is a serious drivers’ car with unbeatable versatility, and the ability to turn heads at 50 paces.
And it’s a favourite of Jay Kay from Jamiroquai!
Will this Carmine Red beauty work its way into the CarGuys’ garage? Can Jason be converted to modern 911s? Will the roof keeping working? All these questions and more are answered in this week’s episode. Enjoy!
Created by two ordinary guys with an obsession for cars, TheCarGuys.tv is a digital channel that celebrates everything automotive - supercars, classics, quirky, hidden gems and those in the TCG garage.

@davidd4531 5 лет назад

Huge leap forward in cinematography in this video. The first minutes contain very good visual work. The overlap of the roof diagram and the real one opening was outstanding. Back to the car, I would have a coupe to be fair, but I reckon that the Targa looks much nicer than the cabriolet and has way more personality.

@julianadams2206 4 года назад

As the owner of a (older model) Mercedes AMG with a folding hardtop roof, I definitely relate to your concerns over the long term reliability of the Targa roof mechanism. However whilst it is working it is pure magic!

I love the Targa. Your comment about the possible longevity of the roof mechanism really struck a cord with me as I have a 14 year old Mercedes AMG with the folding metal roof and I dread the day it stops working😬

@paulvsmith 5 лет назад

"Roof off, what do you think about rigidity?" Yes, I'm definitely getting it.

@davidkennedy1077 5 лет назад

Love the channel gents!!! It's so refreshing to have the presenters of a car show be decent normal blokes. I haven't once felt the urge to punch either of you in the face, the same thing certainly isnt true with Clarkson (and his cronies) and several RU-vidrs. Very personable presenters and a great real life car review, done on our not so great UK roads. The highest of compliments I'd say haha!!! I thought your JK and Tiff impersonations were pretty good!!!

I wanna hate the Targa because I can't locate a used one within my budget/city. Fuck this, it keeps getting better!

@richardkennett4086 4 года назад

This is an old video now, but the value of 991.2 targa’s is going through the roof! Pardon the pun! I have been looking for one, then sell in days and the prices have gone up by £10k in the last two weeks. Watching every RU-vid review you can see why. Damen and Jason you are spot on, in your reviews. Every film is a must watch. Keep up the great work! My quest to find the right targa continues... cheers Rich

@TheCarGuysTV 4 года назад

Thanks, my friend - good luck in your search

@marcnobel3938 5 лет назад

Beautiful car ... but still can`t get over you selling the F40. First thing I was thinking about when the Video popped up in my notifications. Will need a few weeks to get over it :-D - Your 1985 Versions looks also delicious.

I went for a test drive on the strength of this review and ended up buying a yellow 991.2 Targa 4S about 6 months ago. It really is a lovely car. Great video and great channel.

@mqandil 5 лет назад

Great video. I own this car with a manual transmission since June 2016 and happy to report after 20k miles and countless of targa roof use, the wobbly roof is still functioning reliably and as wobbly as ever but is still working after almost 3 yrs. Great car and do prefer it as my daily driver to my 2017 Macan GTS, my 991.2 GT3, 991.2 GT3 RS, 991.2 GT2 RS, And my GT4 and I drive on all weather conditions including heavy snow and of course on track and autocross. Shortly after I got it, I remember shattering the egos of few GT3 991.1 owners as this car beat them both on track and on autocross on standard P zero tires and with a manual transmission. Imagine if this beast wore cup 2 tires like my other GT Porsches... Lovely Lovely car. Only complain the exhausts note. Mark

@wherearetheavacados6356 5 лет назад

991.2 is the best looking gen of 911s imo Every 911(of 991.2)from the turbo s to the Gt2rs look absolutely stunning !

@wherearetheavacados6356 5 лет назад

Curtis Upperman Carrera GT will always be my favourite Porsche too! The Gt3 in a pastel gray spec is second Gt2rs for its sheer speed Tubo s Now coming to non street legal Porsches 919 evo Lmp1 car 911 rsr 2018 What about you are there any other brands that you like ?

@wherearetheavacados6356 5 лет назад

Curtis Upperman I’m also a big fan of modified Porsches like Singer,rwb and ruf

@wherearetheavacados6356 5 лет назад

Curtis Upperman you 2 man ....been a long time since I met a like minded petrolhead on RU-vid ,do you have an Instagram or Twitter ?

@wherearetheavacados6356 5 лет назад

Curtis Upperman I’m not a fan of recent Ferraris tbh the 488, 812(specially from the front those headlights look hideous!) plus they all lack in performance when you compare them to their competitors like Lamborghini and Mclaren and of course Porsche The modern Ferraris I like are F12(still the most beautiful modern Gt car) ,La Ferrari, 360 challenge ,430 scud and ofc 458 and 488 pista maybe And ofc I’m a big fan of f50,f40 enzo and 250 gto you know the classic Ferraris But at the end of the day it’s lambo for me

@wherearetheavacados6356 5 лет назад

Curtis Upperman I agree the 812 sounds amazing and I bet it would be great fun sliding around on track and burnouts .....sad to see we won’t see v12 Ferraris or any v12s for that matter anymore in the future..then these RU-vid videos will remind us the drama and emotion of these glorious v12s when everything has gone electric ⚡️ I remember someone saying that ,”Car guys are just nerds who though PC building and comic books weren’t an expensive enough hobby “lol

@scottcowan2127 5 лет назад

after having owned a Mk1 Elise in the past.. there is a certain charm in having to put a roof up manually and getting slightly wet in the process.. Beautiful car though (C4S Targa) and a great review as always!

@shaughnmcgurk9380 5 лет назад

Targa, henceforth known as the Jay Kay Hat Top. Super good fun. The throwback wheels are a true delight. Cheers, chaps.

@hermanng7996 Год назад

I think Porsche should make a special "RS" version of the Targa 4S by deleting the mechanism of the roof top and use a manual hop-on T-top and possibly going through a 'GT3' light weighted treatment to make it a more desirable sports car with Targa top. Tks for the video!

@TheCarGuysTV Год назад

I'd be up for this - I'm always scared of that electric roof.

@cabbys 4 года назад

Well done gents. The overall length of a 991.1 compared even to a 2004 Carrera 4S is very similar. A significant difference is in the length of the wheel base and this is what I believe makes the 991.1 models feel more un-Porsche-like. I believe what improves the sensation is more lower -end torque via the turbos in the 991.2 models. Great channel.

Nice review Guys. Think you will find that there is one company in Germany that make the roof mechanisms for all cabriolets and convertibles irrespective of the manufacturer and have done for decades, so it should be perfectly reliable. BTW if you think that roof mech is heavy and cumbersome then you should check out the ones Mercedes use on the SL... 😀
