Porsche 996 Targa for sale!
Much has been written about Porsche’s 996 model, but what is certain is that this was a major step in the ongoing history of the 911’s development. Porsche decided that the future development of the classic air-cooled engine required conventional water cooling, and so the factory developed a 3.4 liter engine that produced a respectable 300 hp – still located at the rear, as is usual for the 911. The Series I 996 reused parts of the design from the Boxster, including the now famous headlights nicknamed the “fried egg’s”. This changed in 2002 with the introduction of the Series II, where the engine was also further developed, now 3.6 liters with 315 hp. At the same time the Targa version was introduced, actually with the same roof construction as found in the predecessor 993. The Targa is easily recognized by the more sharp angle of the rear side window compared to the regular coupe.
