Is this the 2014 Porsche 911 Targa?

December 14, 2013

Leaked patent images might have prematurely revealed the 2014 Porsche 911 Targa ahead of its scheduled debut at next year’s Geneva Motor Show.

Posted online by a French television station, the leaked images reveal the 911 Targa will be identical to the existing coupe and convertible variants from the rocker panels up to the belt line. Above that, it will gain a large wraparound rear window and a roll bar adorned by three small vertical air vents, design cues that characterized the first 911 Targa that bowed in 1967.

The roof panel directly above the occupants’ heads will be removable and likely made out of a lightweight composite material such as carbon fiber. The car is not expected to undergo any major interior modifications, meaning its dashboard will be nearly identical to the one found in 911 Convertible.

Rumors indicate the base Targa will be powered by a 3.4-liter flat-six rated at 350 horsepower and 288 lb-ft. of torque, while the more expensive Targa S will utilize a 3.6-liter flat-six that churns out 400 horsepower and 324 lb-ft. of torque. At launch, the Targa will only be offered with rear-wheel drive but a four-wheel drive model with a widened rear end will likely join the lineup later in the production run.

Look for official details about the Porsche 911 Targa to emerge in the weeks leading up to its debut in Swizerland next March. The car is expected to land in Porsche showrooms around the world by the middle of next summer at the latest.
