2016 Porsche 911 991.2 Targa 4S MY17

Taking their lead from the now very collectable 996 C4 S of the late 90s, Porsche gave the current 991.2 911 C4 S the supercar-swatting Turbo model’s wider rear arches and Tron® inspired rear light bar that connects the two rear light units together.

The models available at launch included the Carrera 4 coupé and cabriolet, the 4S coupe and cabriolet, and the stunning, rarely seen Targa 4 and Targa 4S.

All variants came with Porsche’s new 3.0 litre bi-turbo flat-six engine producing a whopping 365hp as standard and when fitted with the optional Sport Chrono package, the base model does 0 -100km/h in a phenomenal 4.1 seconds.

The car offered here is an MY17 Porsche 911 type 991.2 Targa 4S ordered in stealthy Basalt Black Metallic over Black leather trim with the 7 Speed Manual transmission.

In superb, as new condition this one owner car was originally ordered with over $50,000 worth of optional extras to extract the most out of what this package can deliver. With a complete factory service history this rare 911 features:

• Exterior colour matched interior trim (for cars with extended leather)

• Spyder Design 20 Inch alloys

• Heated & Ventilated seats

• Sports Exhaust

• Black instruments

• Aluminium finish interior trim

• PDLS

• Heated Sports steering wheel

• Burmester Sound Upgrade

• Rear wiper delete

• Park assistance

• Apple Car Play with “Pinch to Zoom” function

Porsche’s extensive use of aluminium and premium composite materials, paired to a more aerodynamic design, and mind-bending performance capabilities has kept this car’s status as the benchmark sports car.

Accessed through the Mannetino style switch fitted to the steering wheel adapted from the 918 Spyder Hypercar this Targa 4S features 4 driving modes including Normal, Sport, Sport Plus, and an Individual mode. These all adjust various behaviours of the car, including throttle response, steering weight, transmission shifting character, the PASM suspension firmness.

Online magazine Performance Drive said “If you’re looking for a pure driving experience with the option to put the top down, there is no comparison”.

With rear-drive-biased handling and steering that is markedly more entertaining than any model that has come before it with an exterior style all its own, this 911 Targa 4S is arguably one of the most desirable modern sports cars money can buy.

Representing sensational value for money this brilliant car will not last long.
