The Porsche 911 Targa was created in 1967, responding to a regulatory challenge in the United States. At the time, safety standards threatened convertibles, pushing Porsche to design a model with a fixed stainless steel roll cage. This innovative concept, named “Targa” in homage to the Targa Florio, an iconic race where Porsche had triumphed, offered a compromise between coupe and cabriolet. It was equipped with a removable hard top and, initially, a plastic rear window that was also removable, which was later replaced by a glass version.

The 911 Targa maintains the fundamental features of the 911, such as the rear-mounted flat-six engine. The first versions were powered by a 2.0-liter engine developing between 110 and 160 horsepower depending on the variant. It combined 2+2 architecture and typical Porsche suspension, offering precise handling despite the engine's rear position.

The Targa quickly established itself as an icon, standing out for its unique style and its connection to the world of competition. Even today, the Targa version is a pillar of the 911 range, embodying Porsche's innovation and heritage for over five decades.
