Vehicle Overview Editor's note: What follows is preliminary information about the 2015 Porsche 911 Targa. Check back later for full details. In the continuing and endless list of variants of Porsche's venerable 911 sports car, the Targa model has always been an interesting choice. Not quite a convertible, not quite a coupe, it features a fixed rear wraparound glass window and a retractable roof panel to open up the cabin. Exterior The new 911 Targa looks mostly like the coupe, but the retractable top that slides down into the rear window creates a different greenhouse.
Gone is the sweeping oval window opening along the car's side, interrupted now by a metal hoop that stretches over the car like a roll bar. It's brushed metal and accompanied by a wraparound rear window that takes away some of the 911's fluidic grace and replaces it with a more upright profile. Press a button and the entire rear glass section lifts up to allow the roof panel to fold down behind the rear seats.
Cargo room is unaffected, of course, as is the trunk up front; the 911 is a rear-engine sports car. Interior The passenger cabin of the 911 Targa is nearly identical to the coupe, with the exception of the aforementioned retractable top and wraparound rear window. It offers the same high-quality materials and construction, leather and real metal, and customization options that can add tens of thousands of dollars to the price tag. Under the Hood The Targa comes in two versions, and both. Show full review.

Under the Hood The Targa comes in two versions, and both feature standard all-wheel drive. The Targa 4 comes with a 3.4-liter boxer six-cylinder engine making 350 horsepower and 287 pounds-feet of torque, while the 4S ups that to a 3.8- liter boxer six that pumps out 400 hp and 325 pounds-feet of torque. Transmissions are a choice of a standard seven-speed manual or dual-clutch PDK automatic.

With the PDK and optional Sport Chrono Package, Porsche says that the Targa 4 will do zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds, a time that drops to 4.2 seconds for the Targa 4S. Both variants are expected to go on sale later this summer in the U.S. The starting price for the Targa 4 will be $102,595, while the Targa 4S will go for a cool $117,195, including destination fee.
Hide full review. What is a Bumper-to-Bumper warranty? Often called a basic warranty or new-vehicle warranty, a bumper-to-bumper policy covers components like air conditioning, audio systems, vehicle sensors, fuel systems and major electrical components. Most policies exclude regular maintenance like fluid top offs and oil changes, but a few brands have separate free-maintenance provisions, and those that do offer them is slowly rising. Bumper-to-bumper warranties typically expire faster than powertrain warranties. What is a Powertrain warranty? Don't be misled a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty doesn't promise a decade of free repairs for your car.

It typically covers just the engine and transmission, along with any other moving parts that lead to the wheels, like the driveshaft and constant velocity joints. Some automakers also bundle seat belts and airbags into their powertrain warranties. With a few exceptions, powertrain warranties don't cover regular maintenance like engine tuneups and tire rotations.

I'm going to fly out and pick up a new-to-me 2003 911 C4S. I've never owned a 996 before so I'd like to download the owners manual for reading on the flight down to get familiar with the car.
I want to learn where the fuses are.location/how the controls work, warning lights, etc. So the drive back will be a little less tedious and hopefully about enjoyment. I cant find a source for it on the internet. Does anyone know if it is available or something like it? Exploring the oceans holt science study guide.

Did you know that there are currently 20 different types of 911 models for sale in the U.S.? Different trim levels offer varying levels of horsepower and the ability to remove the top, when you so desire. The latest 911 model to roll into Kelley Blue Book's short-term garage comes in the form of the 911 Targa 4S. With a final asking price a hair above $142,000, this Targa 4S is one of the more pricey 911 offerings.
It starts at $116,200 with a manual transmission, but if you want to go with the twin-clutch PDK transmission instead (and we highly recommend you do), that'll be another $4,080. The 911 has long been known as the driver's car so pairing a manual transmission with it only seems natural. However, if you really want a seamless driving experience, the PDK will help deliver that with its lightning-quick gear changes.
There are still those who prefer to row their own gears though and if you're so include, we say you can't go wrong there, either. Best of both worlds Unlike the 911 Cabriolet which opens completely to the sky, the Targa variant gives you the option of removing the top roof panel with the simple flip of a switch located between the seats. There are so many moving parts to this operation, it's quite a show and the complexity of the mechanism helps explain the car's sticker price.
The process doesn't take too long though and before you know it, the roof has given way to open sky. Riding with the top panel off and the windows up gives occupants the best of both worlds as you can look up and see sky without freezing temperatures or buffeting wind. Putting the top panel back on is just as quick and easy. A 3.8-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is tasked with pushing the 911 Targa 4S around and is good for 400 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. John deere 727a torque spec manual.

Another reason to get the PDK transmission shows itself in 0-60 mph times which says flies by in just 4.4 seconds. The manual gearbox is good for a 4.6 second 0-60 mph time. We found this drivetrain to be incredibly easy to regulate without having to rely on the brakes too often. Simply let your foot off the pedal and you'll match the traffic's speed ahead of you in moments. The 2015 Porsche 911 lineup is, hands down, the best portfolio for those who enjoy the pure driving feel.
A six-figure asking price also keeps the exclusivity factor of the 911 Targa S high, though it's the kind of car that will only attract the attention of the Porsche cognoscenti.
