Living With A 1971 Porsche 911 Targa in 2024

Car reviewer and YouTuber Seen Through Glass travels to Los Angeles for a big Porsche meetup and rents a classic Porsche 911 Targa from 1971. However, older Porsche can have their… issues.

The Porsche 911 Targa is an iconic sports car that has captivated automotive enthusiasts since its debut in 1965. The distinguishing feature of the Targa model is its unique roof design, which combines elements of both a coupe and a convertible. Named after the Targa Florio endurance race, the Targa features a removable roof panel made of glass or composite material, which can be stowed in the trunk, providing an open-air driving experience. This innovative design offers the best of both worlds, allowing drivers to enjoy the thrill of top-down motoring without sacrificing the structural rigidity and safety of a fixed-roof coupe.

Over the years, the Porsche 911 Targa has evolved alongside its coupe and convertible counterparts, incorporating the latest advancements in technology and performance. The current generation Targa models feature a sophisticated retractable roof system that seamlessly integrates into the car’s silhouette at the touch of a button, combining the convenience of a convertible with the sleek lines of a coupe. Under the hood, the Targa is powered by a range of potent flat-six engines, delivering exhilarating performance and razor-sharp handling characteristic of the 911 lineage. With its timeless design, innovative engineering, and exhilarating driving dynamics, the Porsche 911 Targa continues to uphold its reputation as one of the most desirable sports cars on the road.
