A sports car is defined by its power. A
Porsche by efficient power. And the new
911 Targa 4 models by efficient sport y
power delivered to the road in st yle.
A 3.4-litre 6- cylinder boxer engine with
a power output of 257 kW (350 hp)
accelerates the new 911 Targa 4 from
0 – 62 mph in just 5.2 seconds.
The new 911 Targa 4S is powered by a
3.8-litre 6-cylinder boxer engine with
an output of 294 kW (400 hp). When
combined with the optional Porsche
Doppel kupplung (PDK), this model takes
just 4.6 seconds to reach the 62 mph
barrier.
The enhanced Porsche Traction
Manage ment (PTM) ensures the new
911 Targa 4 models can tackle any t ype
of weather and any t ype of road surface.
It precisely and directly regulates the
distribution of the drive forces to the
front and rear axles (see page 40). A
visible indicator of the all-wheel-drive
system is the seamless taillight strip.
Other distinguishing features include
the wider body and broad rear t yres –
295 mm on the new 911 Targa 4 and
305 mm on the new 911 Targa 4S.
Some choose to regard the new
911 Targa 4 models as design objects.
But their performance potential soon
makes it clear that they are far too good
to be kept just for show.

The 3.4-litre engine of the
911 Targa 4.
The engine of the new 911 Targa 4
develops 257 kW (350 hp) at 7,400 rpm
and a maximum torque of 390 Nm at
5,600 rpm. When combined with the
7-speed manual gearbox, it accelerates
from 0 – 62 mph in just 5.2 seconds and
reaches a top speed of 175 mph.
The 3.8-litre engine of the
911 Targa 4S.
On the S model, the figures speak for
themselves: the 3.8-litre boxer engine
develops 294 kW (400 hp) at 7,400 rpm
and a maximum torque of 440 Nm at
5,600 rpm. When equipped with the
optional Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
the new 911 Targa 4S completes the
0 – 62 mph sprint in just 4.6 seconds
and can continue on to a top speed of
182 mph.
Efficiency technologies.
At Porsche, reducing fuel consumption is
part and parcel of performance. It goes
without saying, therefore, that efficiency
technologies are standard features on
the 9 11 Targa 4 models and form an
integral part of the vehicle concept.
Whenever the car comes to a stop, the
auto start/stop function automatically
switches off the engine – and restarts it
swiftly and smoothly as soon as you
operate the clutch or, on models with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), as soon
as you release the brake.
The thermal management system
regulates the temperature in the engine
and gearbox through the intelligent
manipulation of heat flow. The resulting
improvement in combustion efficiency has
a beneficial effect on fuel consumption. A further fuel-saving feature is electrical
system recuperation. This function
ensures that the bat tery is recharged
predominantly by the alternator under
braking conditions.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
DFI delivers fuel directly into the combus
-
tion chamber with millisecond precision.
The spray and cone angles of the multi-
hole injectors have been optimised for
torque, power output, fuel consumption,
emissions and efficient combustion.
Exhaust system.
The exhaust system of the 911 models
has been redesigned – acoustics included.
The stainless steel exhaust system
comprises two distinctive and independent
exhaust tracts. A selectable t win-tube
sports exhaust system featuring distinc -
tive polished stainless steel tailpipes
is available as an option. Activated by
a but ton, it produces an even more
intensive sports car sound.

Intelligent lightweight construction.
The innovative bodyshell of the 911 fulfils
t wo structural design requirements: first,
excellent driving dynamics due to the
body’s extremely high rigidit y; second, a
low vehicle weight primarily as a result of
the intelligent lightweight construction.
To achieve both goals, therefore, we used
very thin, but nevertheless extremely
rigid sheets of steel for the bodyshell.
In addition, aluminium was used exten -
sively in areas such as the underbody,
the front and rear ends, the doors, the
wings and the engine compartment
and luggage compartment lids, whilst
magnesium – a particularly lightweight
material – was selected for the front roof
elements of the new 9 11 Targa 4 models.

Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM, the electronic damping control
system, is standard on the new
911 Targa 4S and available as an option
for the new 911 Targa 4. It actively and
continuously regulates damping forces
according to driving st yle and road
conditions. In addition, the suspension is
lowered by 10 mm. PASM has t wo modes
which can be selected using a separate
button on the centre console: ‘Normal’,
which is blend of performance and
comfort, and ‘Sport ’ where the setup
is much firmer.
Sensors record the body movements
that accompany powerful acceleration,
braking or uneven road surfaces, for
example. The PASM control unit evaluates
the driving conditions and modifies the
damping force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode.
The results are tangible: increased
driving stability, improved comfort and
enhanced performance.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB) has a proven track record
from the world of motorsport. The cross-
drilled ceramic brake discs have a diame -
ter of 350 mm front and rear for even
more formidable braking performance.
The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc
brake calipers on the front axle and
four-piston aluminium monobloc brake
calipers at the rear – all finished in

yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent. PCCB enables shorter braking
distances in even the toughest road and
race conditions. The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic brake
discs, which are approximately 50
%
lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this

represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The consequence of
this is bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads.
Circuit racing will require extra main -
tenance to be carried out in addition to
the routine maintenance.
Electric parking brake.
The electric parking brake, which you
can activate and deactivate manually,
releases automatically as you pull away. With the hill-hold function, you can pull
away without ever rolling back. The

system automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an uphill
gradient requiring intervention. PSM then
maintains the brake pressure at all four
wheels to prevent the vehicle from
moving in the opposite direction.
Airbags.
The new 911 Targa 4 models offer
advanced airbag technology in the form
of full-size driver and front passenger
airbags, which are inflated in t wo stages,
depending on the severit y and t ype of
accident (e. g. frontal or offset frontal). In
less serious accidents, the airbags are
only partially inflated, thereby minimising
discomfort to the occupants.
Porsche Side Impact Protection System
(POSIP).
The new 9 11 Targa 4 models are equipped
as standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). It comprises
side impact protection elements in the
doors and t wo airbags on each side. An
integral thorax airbag is located in each

seat side bolster, while the door panels
each contain an upwards-inflating head
airbag. Each thorax airbag has a volume
of 10 litres and each head airbag 15 litres,
ensuring excellent protection in the event
of a side impact.
Roll-over protection.
The 911 Targa 4 models have exemplary
torsional rigidit y and flexural strength.
Increased protection is provided by the
steel roll-over protection system located
under the aluminium panel of the Targa
roll bar.

In an era of intensifying debate about
global
climate change and CO2 emissions,
every automotive manufacturer is asking
what it has to offer right now. Our answer
is ‘high performance must be accom panied
by high efficiency’.
Exhaust emission control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-performance
sports cars can achieve moderate
fuel consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category. This is enabled, on the one hand, by the
use of fuel-efficient technologies such

as auto start /stop, thermal management,
electrical system recuperation, direct
fuel injection or coasting mode. On the
other hand, new cataly tic converters
developed for the 911 provide efficient
emission control through the use of
stereo Lambda control circuitry.
Sustainable driving pleasure
is ultimately a question of good style too.
Porsche and the environment.
Fuel economy and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction is
fundamental to the Porsche identit y. It
is expressed through the use of a high
proportion of aluminium, magnesium,
plastics, super-high-strength sheet steel
and environmentally friendly water-based
paints. All materials are meticulously
and purposefully selected. All lightweight
materials are easily recyclable and
all plastic components are labelled to
facilitate their separation for subsequent
recycling. In short, the 911 is now around
95 % recoverable.
Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the 911 –
are designed to operate using fuels with
an ethanol content of up to 10 %, e. g.
‘E10’. Ethanol has a positive impact on
the CO
2 balance since the plants grown
for the production of this biofuel also
absorb CO
2 from the atmosphere.
