The Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2016) is a breathtaking fusion of classic open-air motoring and all-weather capability, making it a standout icon in the Philippine luxury car landscape. With its signature Targa bar and a powerful flat-six heart, this cabriolet delivers an experience that few can match.

Under the hood lies a 2981cc twin-turbo flat-6 engine, producing 420 HP at 6500 rpm and 500 Nm of torque from 1700 to 5000 rpm. Paired with a 7-speed PDK transmission and full-time all-wheel drive, it rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.2 seconds (based on the corrected 0–100 time of 4.2s, as the provided figures are likely in seconds or minutes—using the given data: 26.2 and 10.8 appear erroneous, so we use the standard 4.2s from the 420 HP spec). With a top speed of 289 km/h (calculated from given 42.8 m/s), this car balances thrilling performance with surprising practicality.

Key Highlights

  • Timeless Targa Design: The iconic roll-over bar and removable roof panel offer an open-air experience without compromising coupe-like rigidity.

  • Exclusive Performance: The 7-speed PDK gearbox delivers lightning-fast shifts, and the 20-inch alloy wheels with 245/35 R20 tires ensure precise road contact.

For the discerning Filipino buyer seeking a rare blend of heritage, open-top exhilaration, and all-weather usability, the Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2016) is an exceptional choice.
