Visually, the new Targa models tread familiar ground–combining the traditional 911 shape we know and love with a unique B-pillar design and wrap-around rear screen, a format common to several generations of the 911 Targa. At the press of a button, the roof’s center section slides back and stows itself behind the rear seats, keeping the car’s sleek lines intact and maintaining the utility so appreciated by 911 owners. Two Targa models will be available at launch, the 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S. Those familiar with Porsche naming conventions will note that each is all-wheel drive only, and each features the wider track of the all-wheel-drive coupes and convertibles to accommodate the beefier drivetrain. Porsche Traction Management keeps the efforts of the two engines in check–the 350 horsepower, 3.4-liter Targa  4 and 400 horsepower, 3.8-liter 4S providing more than enough performance to trouble the tires.
