Rory hops aboard the new Porsche 911 Targa 4S. But this one has a twist… it’s the Heritage Design Edition, which has numerous cool design tweaks put in place to mimic Porsche’s sports cars of the 50s and 60s including new decals, corduroy interior, and a hefty new price tag. Is it worth it?

Even in Legos, I prefer when bricks are printed, not stickers. Gives them premium feel. :) The same with Porsches. XD

Finally a car journalist that addresses the wind buffeting! That makes the Targa not the perfect 911. But then again, it's quite the looker. So that makes it the most desirable 911?

@Sailor86To 2 года назад

In my opinion, He the best car Journalist on the current scene ..

@keithl836 2 года назад

I have a 991.2 Targa 4 GTS - I’m surprised by how little difference the air deflector above the windscreen makes. But winding down the windows with the targa top down (open) makes the buffeting MUCH more tolerable. My car also has PDCC which means the head bobbling is not really an issue either - a useful option to have. Convertible just hasn’t got the right 911 shape for me when the top is up so that’s not a choice for me….

@jay_b.. 3 месяца назад

@@keithl836 thanks for the info. Owning it, do you drive with the top down/ windows down a lot? Is it much quieter than the cabriolet? thank you.

@keithl836 3 месяца назад

@@jay_b.. I’ve actually since fixed the air deflector issue (it was just stuck and needed a whack) - I do drive it with the top down quite often but I’d say by the time you get to 50mph, you can forget about having a conversation in the car. In a strange way I think the convertible with a proper wind deflector you put behind the front seats could be a much better solution if wind noise is the main concern for you. Good luck!

@jay_b.. 3 месяца назад

Thank you for the quick response. 😊 Is the wind noise loud even with the windows up for conversation? And is music on radio pointless at that point?

@abhadwivedi6381 2 года назад

You know what else is good about targas, the fact that when you put the top up, it doesn't mess up the original coupe like roofline. This 👆👆is why I loved the old viper, the 812 GTS, the F8 spider even though these aren't actual targas

@andystafford7073 2 года назад

Love the elegant, flowing lines of the 991 and 992 Targas with their nod back to the early cars' silver hoops. Porsche have got that exactly right. Not sure about the wind noise issue, my 964 Targa is pretty quiet with the roof off which gives plenty of scope for enjoying the flat 6 thumping away behind your ears. Sounds nothing like the window down observation by Rory. Also there is no wind buffeting in the cabin, so your hairdo stays intact and it retains heat when required when driving with the roof off.... so buy an aircooled version. Still plenty quick enough for public roads.

@mikadavies660 2 года назад

Rory covers all the points. Excellent review. If money was no object... I would have one because it looks stunning! But I would have to accept it complete with its flaws.

@richardkennett4086 2 года назад

Having owned and loved my Targa. They are such a practical GT car. The wind noise between 40mph & 60mph is a pain. But if travelling down a country road on beautiful sunny day you forget about it. Why do all journalists say you must have a manual gearbox? The PDK is so good it is always in the right gear and you can pull a paddle anytime you want to. In the 992 a manual the cup holder is in the wrong place as the car was designed as a PDK. This car is not a track car so a PDK as a GT cruise car makes every sense. The other point is this car is so quick that the PDK is the right option for a car with 450 BHP. How many journalists actually put their money where there mouth is? Having said all that I really enjoy Rory’s reviews! Keep up the great work.

There is a contraption on top of the windshield that stops all of the wind buffeting. When you engage it the targa is whisper quiet and much quieter than the cabriolet. Come man you got to know these cars before presenting them.

@andyglastonbury6032 2 года назад

Get an really nice original manual 964 C2 Targa for about £55k, spend about £20k having the engine rebuilt and converted to a 3.8 (with Lightweight flywheel and Clutch), add a 993 6 speed for about £6k, new BBS alloys for about £4K, new Bilstein adjustable coil-overs about £4K, a pair of Recaro pole positions £3k and about 3k for “stuff”. The pocket the remaining £40k a new one would cost. A classic correct air cooled Porsche that will only go up in value.

It certainly rains a lot there! Gotta have that top down though! As a kid in the '70's we had a 914 and I only had the valet key. The top was locked in the trunk. I had to drive "non-stop" home in the rain. Drive fast, stay dry!

Had the last of the aircooled 911s back in the late 90s a gorgeous black 993 C4S.. stupidly traded in for 996 GT3 .. truthfully never really wanted another once the Boxster, Panamera and fwd cars spoilt the brand for me BUT.... THIS.... stunning. really does hark back to better days and better cars.

@RogerBond007 2 года назад

Just an observation I picked up that Rory Reid mentioned at 6:11. Does the PDK not come in 8 speed & the manual transmission in a 7 speed? Otherwise a great video with lots of 911 heritage👍🏻

@gobinduppal4429 2 года назад

Same I picked that up also. I also noticed he said 6 speed manual, not the 7 speed. The 6 speed is the more desirable one, as it’s the one that’s in the GT3 and GT4.

Hi Rory, I liked the electric roof but I would order mine with a sticker delete. Nice sweater dude! 👍

@markbrisec3972 2 года назад

Actually I don't think you can. The stickers are coming with the car, whether you like it or not. I know, it's stupid, but you can take the car to any serious detailer or a decal shop, and they'll remove them from the car... For a price of course. The good thing is that it doesn't affect the warranty. Imagine that. Removing a few stickers from a car doesn't affect the warranty on the engine. Porsche is such a fair company....LOL

You mention the PDK being a 7spd and the manual being a 6spd of but the 992 is using an 8spd PDK and 7spd manual for everything but the GT3. Does this car get the GT transmissions or is that a mistake in the video?

@geewilliams2178 2 года назад

I love a targa too

@SuperMauricem 2 года назад

Agreed that I would not be paying a 27k premium. Yes I love a targa too and love that people just walk pass and do not seem to have the envy that is associated with Ferrari, McClaren, etc that seem to cause a stir when ever one goes by with many car spotters taking photos and videos. I would not care too much about buffering and wind noise at speed living in London the land of 20 is plenty, your lucky to find a 30 mph limit!! As a GT travelling around Europe this would be my car of choice
