Is Porsche bringing back a real Targa option to the 991?
Old school styling meets the next generation techno filled 911, maybe...

Well according to speculation from the German magazine Autobild it appears to be a possibility so we asked our resident photoshop master member "Carrera" to render one out for us and we have to say it looks pretty darn good this way. The fixed Targa roof was one of the most popular versions of the 911's until the change over in 1996 with the sliding glass roof variant on the 993. Stay tuned for more spy shots of test mules running around the ring in the next few weeks and maybe we'll spot something "different" then we expect.

Nice. Inspired by the RUF Targa?

But vintage is totally IN!

Thanks guys for the compliments on the rendering! They're much appreciated.

And actually, the RUF Targa wasn't on my mind at all for this rendering.
