Porsche continues to hug the headlines with its 911 reviews circulating around. While the German firm is undeniably popular, its recent offering will further solidify its current status. The arrival of the Carrera 4S Targa provides automobile aficionados and enthusiasts another grand and dazzling presence on the highway.

Anyone taking a first glimpse at the 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 4S will most likely be charmed by the glittering outlook of the car. Aside from its stunning 20-inch silver wheels and wraparound rear glass, the vehicle is enshrouded with a shining GT Silver color to go with its matte-silver targa bar. The classic red and silver pairing has never been distinguishable than in this unit. The red fabric roof is complimented well by the Bordeaux red and black interior perspective.

The Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 4S is not merely about its gorgeous exterior appearance. Under the hood, the automobile is driven by the hard working 3-liter twin-turbocharged 9A2 flat-six engine which is commonly found in Carrera S and 4S brands.

Considering its 420hp output at 6,500rpm, the machine steering the 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 4S is probably the heaviest among Carrera engines. Compared to the 2014 Targa 4S PDK and the 2017 Carrera 4S coupe, the unit has amassed around 57 and 207 more pounds, respectively. Still, the extra weight is nullified with the 9A2 showing the way.

The abounding approach of the Porsche 911 Targa 4S is quite impressive. In less than four seconds, the automobile is able to hit the 60mph rate. Within eight seconds, it is able to reach 100mph. When cruising from 30 to 50mph, the Carrera variant is able to do it in less than three seconds.

What makes the 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa 4S extraordinary is its capability to speed off quickly. The combination of the Sport Chrono mode and the 7-speed PDK automatic transmission system provides launch and dynamic boost enhancements.

Aside from its speedy personality, the Porsche 911 Targa 4S has also the ability to turn faster in a snap. From 60mph to zero, it is able to stop directly within 97 feet with a 1.04 gravity grip average on the skid pad. That is 47-foot and 0.22g better than its predecessor.
