Lifestyle Magazine welcomes the new Porsche Targa and the return of its legendary 60’s styling

2014-Porsche-911-Targa-4-4S-Blue-lifestyleRetro Porches have always been popular with enthusiasts so the new 911 Targa should be a hit as it  returns with the contrast colour roof hoop and the dome-shaped wraparound rear window. The legendary Hoop was conceived in 1967 due to concerns that US safety regulations could outlaw full convertible models.

In recent years Porsche had moved away from the classic hoop design and opted for a sliding glass roof on the Targa, but for the new 2014 models they have decided to re instate this popular design. The exterior might have a retro look but Lifestyle was pleased to discover that the inners of the 911 Targa feature the latest technology, speed and performance that drivers have come to expect from Porsche.
