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.
This very low mileage 993 is in fantastic shape and runs with power and is the perfect match of a coupe and cabriolet. With the same roof line of the coupe, but with a flip of the switch the car opens up to an open air experience like no other. Car was sold and owned by only 3 previous owners all residing in the sunny south of Florida. With routine maintenance performed and no expense spared to keep the car up to proper working conditions, this is a must buy for the Porsche guru. Vehicle is destined to be a highly sought after vehicle based on the unique setup. Original books, both sets of keys and remotes and the factory window sticker gives this car even more ammo as being a current and future investment. Yes, black on black is popular, but this Targa which were very limited production it also has the rare Tiptronic transmission that gave the driver the comfort of an automatic with the ability to shift via steering wheel controls or a nudge forward or back to up or down shift. Vehicle is finished with some great options and still retains the factory spec Targa wheels that were exclusive to the Targa body. Factory options include; Porsche floor mats, full power driver seat, Porsche colored crest in the wheels, On-Board computer, and lumbar support on driver seat.
Destined to be a classic and with the new Targa due to hit the new showrooms that are a throwback to the Carrera/911 days, the 993 Targa is only going to go in one direction price wise…up, up, up! Low miles, proven color, documented service, factory books, MSRP, and low production Targa with Tiptronic equals great investment.
