1996 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

In 1996 Porsche introduced is completely redesigned Targa for the 911 / 993 model. Gone was the removable roof that proved to be a bit cumbersome and storage was always an issue, and gone was the large B-pillar that gave the 911 Targa a different and to many, not a flattering look as compared to the undisturbed, smooth lines of its Coupe counter-part. The Targa version of the 993 saw the debut of a retractable glass roof, a design that would carry forward in the 911 line. The roof would retract creating a large opening that would continue the open air experience that the Targa 911's are known for. Everything about this design was better. The Targa can now share the same side view lines as the Carrera Coupes; no more pulling over to remove or install the roof as now it could be done with a push of a button, and no more wind noise that the earlier Targa's were known to have.

Porsche broke the mold after completing the last 993's out of Germany and many wish they never did! From 95-98 Porsche built this iconic 993 Porsche with a style and shape like nothing else and it will never be duplicated. There is a reason why these cars do not depreciate and are being plucked for private collections across the globe. The accented rear fenders that gave a mean and aggressive stance, along with an inspiring sound that could only be duplicated by an air cooled engine that was as raw as the day the first 911's rolled out of the factory. For this reason, an example such as this for the price offered here is a must consideration.
