Thoughts on the new 911 Targa? Tony in Whittier - Monday, 13 January, 2014, at 8:59:38 pm |
Looks like a good update of the classic. The link has no shots of the back. What's with that? *NM* Laz - Monday, 13 January, 2014, at 10:45:22 pm |
I agree about it being a good update. Guenter in Ontario - Monday, 13 January, 2014, at 11:21:56 pm |
More picture here, including how the top works. Guenter in Ontario - Monday, 13 January, 2014, at 11:57:07 pm |
Thanks, Guenter. A successful metamorphosis of the original, and good integration into the 991. *NM* Laz - Tuesday, 14 January, 2014, at 11:34:25 am |
Lots more pictures of the Targa here, including some from '67 on for comparison Guenter in Ontario - Tuesday, 14 January, 2014, at 2:37:00 pm |

Nice. Here's another one: Laz - Thursday, 16 January, 2014, at 9:42:05 am |
It looks surprisingly herky-jerky *NM* Boxsterra - Sunday, 19 January, 2014, at 4:53:01 pm |

You would never again be the same, not after seeing the first rendering of the 986.
Interesting - that orginal design placed the mirrors on the doors - not unlike the 981 *NM* Roger987 - Friday, 17 January, 2014, at 12:35:40 pm |
True. I don't mind them on the door, but prefer the look of the biped mounting like they have Guenter in Ontario - Friday, 17 January, 2014, at 1:53:33 pm |
Window corner mounting causes an aerodynamic dead spot. Laz - Friday, 17 January, 2014, at 2:49:32 pm |

Man, I wish there were a solution to the problem of rain running from the windshield to the side window, where it collects at the top and then drips at a feverish pace onto my left arm and hip. Spoils many a good top-down run in the rain..

Check my link above. It shows it with the top in place and how it operates. *NM* Guenter in Ontario - Tuesday, 14 January, 2014, at 1:32:28 pm |
I like it better than previous Targas - *NM* Meredith in Atlanta - Tuesday, 14 January, 2014, at 7:39:53 pm |

Like this? Laz - Wednesday, 15 January, 2014, at 4:58:43 pm |
Come to think of it, recent 911s are as if dinosaurs didn't go away and keep developing... evolving. *NM* Laz - Thursday, 16 January, 2014, at 9:49:59 pm |

My thought is this looks to be stupidly complicated. I imagine a manually removable roof panel wouldn't fit anywhere in the car.

Don't drive a 991, or you'll probably change your mind about rear engine sports cars *NM* Gary in SoFL - Tuesday, 28 January, 2014, at 11:01:16 am |
