PORSCHE 911 S Softwindow Targa blood orange

No other Porsche 911 polarizes as much as the early Targa models.

Initially rejected by the trade press and Porsche enthusiasts, the Targa has developed into a real bestseller and has enriched the Porsche model range almost continuously to this day.

Introduced on the market in 1967, vehicles with a foldable rear window were produced for the first two years.

These models are called “SOFTWINDOW TARGA”. They belong to the very rare Porsche vehicle variants.

From model year 1969 onwards, all Porsche 911 Targa have the fixed rear glass roof.

The mechanical injection pump manufactured by Bosch was also used for the first time in the 1969 model year. These 2.0 engines produce an unbelievable 170 hp.

A few customers still ordered the “softwindow” version of the Targa model, which was actually deleted from the model range.

You have to be a real Targa enthusiast, because at the high speeds that an early 911 S could reach, the extreme wind noise transforms the journey into a “ride in a hurricane”.

When the sun is shining, however, there is nothing more beautiful!

Only 13 vehicles are produced in this variant on customer request.

The 911 S 2.0 softwindow is one of the rarest 911s ever built.
