Yuri and Jakub from TheStraightPipes review the 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4, comparing it with other 911 variants. The Targa 4 uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six producing 379 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, paired with standard all-wheel drive and an eight-speed PDK. It’s slightly slower and heavier than the Carrera 4S but still quick, with strong launch control and responsive acceleration.
They highlight the Targa’s unique design, which sits between a coupe and a convertible, featuring a signature silver roll bar and a complex roof mechanism. With the roof up, cabin noise is close to a coupe, while top-down driving produces minimal buffeting. The wide body and full-width rear light bar give it a distinctive look compared to other non-GT 911 models.
On the road, the steering feels precise and natural, and the AWD system remains rear-biased for sporty handling, though it’s less playful than rear-wheel drive models. The PDK transmission is quick and smooth, while the sport exhaust is relatively quiet due to modern regulations.
Inside, the Targa shares the standard 992 interior, with comfortable seats and solid build quality. Despite its high price, the reviewers praise its performance, refinement, and unique semi-convertible experience.
