PORSCHE, known for building exclusively premium cars, particularly for its taste-conscious owners, has unveiled 911 Targa GTS, which boasts 4.7 seconds for 0–62mph and a top speed of 188mph ahead of 2016.

Offering outstanding performance, which speaks of sort genes of a race car packed into a 911, the car has seen improvement and enhanced performance to fit the traction of the all-wheel drive.

According to Porsche, all that matters is design, the timeless icon with its stylish Targa bar, revolutionary roof concept and the driving feel of an open-top is nothing but display of sportiness combined with style.

Speaking about its boldness Porsche said: “With its design, this 911 belongs to the avant-garde. With its power, it leaves the avant-garde behind. A sports car for those who wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less. With extra horsepower, a particularly exquisite specification and even greater performance”

The model also offers beautiful clear design language, with a focus on the essentials, which according to the organisation shows the reason why good design must never be fanciful, but should always express character. The latest model is carmine red paintwork which was launched with the 911 GTS and is available as an option on all 911 models, highlighting the elements of the exterior finished in black.

It also offers naturally aspirated engine in the rear, with six horizontally opposed cylinders for excellent and uprated 3.8-liter boxer engine in the new 911 Targa 4 GTS with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus which develops a mighty 430 hp at 7,500 rpm, and achieves a maximum torque of 325 lb.-ft. at 5,750 rpm. The 911 Targa 4 GTS with optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) takes a mere 4.1 seconds to sprint from 0 to 60 mph and delivers a top track speed of 187 mph.

The two-stage resonance intake manifold has six plus one switchable valves which increase the intake in the engine by exploiting the fact that air oscillates as it passes through the intake tract.

It comes with 7-speed manual gearbox and PTM (Porsche Traction Management), the active all-wheel-drive system, which provides power distribution that adapts to varying road and weather conditions.
