What Is the Porsche Targa?
The Porsche Targa is a body style featuring a solid roof band with a removable or retractable roof section. The name originates from the Targa Florio road race in Sicily, where Porsche achieved notable success. The design emphasizes open-air driving with added structural rigidity compared to full convertibles.
