Thomas, you are first class and the #1 reviewer. I just ordered the 2021 Targa 4, it is in Gentian Blue with Chalk/Slate grey interior. I test drove the car on a windy day on the highway, going 70 MPH, top down, windows down and no wind noise - everyone that says there is wind noise in the cabin is incorrect, even my Master Brand Ambassador said its not true with claims of wind noise. My car goes into production 11/27/20, and take delivery 1/15/21. Greetings from the Financial District (NYC). 😎
My dream car. A dark blue Targa 4S. And not just any reviewer. In full HD, full screen and full length. Lets go! I've never clicked on a YT video quicker. Another great video Thomas. Cheers!
Nice comprehensive detailed intelligent reviews, taking time and attention to look at every aspect of the car with a dash of humour interjected here and there. Nice comparison and nod to the original Targa.
Hi Thomas and Autogefuhl team. I'm from Hungary and a most like your car channel from all of them. The style of the presenter is very fiendly, clear and he is also expert. Please go ahead and continue this type of car movies. Tamas
The Targa makes sense if you live in a cold contry (with salt etc) and want to drive it all year around - as some people to with Porsches - especially AWD versions.
Thomas, truly this is the best looking 911. The Targa is the best of both worlds, in my opinion. Blue is my first choice for color! Excellent in-depth review! Thank you Thomas!!
Agreed. The Targa is still sports car even with its added size. The handling defines that especially with rear wheel steering agility and response. So much technology packed into a short package.
Hello dear Thomas and thank you so much for your professionalism and passion that you bring in your videos ! However and unless I'm mistaken, I think that the dual exhaust pipes are actually the optional PSE (Porsche Sound Exhaust) whereas the 4 pipes exhausts are the normal. Maybe could you make it verified ? A fan from France
I recently had an opportunity to drive a new Targa. Beautiful automobile, no question about that. Truly unique Porsche. That said, IMHO it is CRUCIAL that prospective buyers actually drive a new Targa in their usual operating environment, top down, before ordering one. I say that because a significant number of Targa owners I've met at club events ordered their cars without having driven one, and they were, quite frankly, disappointed -- in some instances, exceptionally disappointed -- to experience the "harshness" of the 4S ride (20 in./21 in. tires, remember), even on "normal" pavement and even with the suspension in a comfort setting. Also, the noise in the cabin with the roof open is very conspicuous at 50 mph or more. VERY conspicuous. Thomas mentions these aspects of the car in his road test. My impression is that he does not want to dwell on them out of respect for the manufacturer. I understand that. Consequently, I strongly recommend that prospective owners experience these aspects/characteristics of the Targa for themselves, rather than relying on the perceptions of others, and certainly before ordering one, to avoid later disappointment with what, for many, may be their first Porsche automobile.
Greetings! Great work Thomas and Team. Many thanks for all your videos. Targa is great for style! Great colour combo. As we know, it turned out convertibles weren’t forbidden in 1965; for example safety conscious Mercedes proceeded with their SL’s, the 1963 Pagoda and the 1971 R107. Sorry, I didn’t see the silver Alfa spyder, there were less views forward through the windscreen this time! Best wishes.
Deal with the wind noise, Targe could be used as a cruiser up to 60mpg which is basically in any city or suburb driving, then the top needs to be closed for highway higher speed driving. I think the great styling will outweight this minor inconvenience. Frankly, how many people we have ever seen while we are traveling on Interstate with the top down in any brand of convertable cars?
Great overview. Regarding the "wind noise" and buffeting effect; you drove mostly with your window up - camera attached to the glass. I think you'll find with the windows both full down there is more of a difference with the windshield top deflector.
I would like to add a comment regarding the coupe vs targa vs convertible. For some people, like me, Targa could add a bit more privacy to the open top experience. I hate to be in the center of attention, so a Targa with tinted rear window will give me the open top experience as well as the privacy. I think that's the logic.
Greetings from Canada! 🇨🇦 The 992 911 Targa (with a manual) is now my dream car! 🥰Thomas, you can keep the Gentian Blue one! I love the Cherry 🍒 Metallic paint on the Heritage Edition, but Guards Red would be plenty fine too. Keep up the great work! You are the coolest automobile reviewer in the world 🌎! 👏🏻👏🏻
11:13 I wonder what that extra latch is at the center bottom of the door. Looks like it goes into the opening in the sill. Thanks for another great review, Thomas!

honestly, after 996, porsche haven't done anything interesting, that was the last time they did good design, but the "purists" said they want rounded headlights and that's how it lasted, so we have 20 years of porsche looking the same, but getting fatter. they could have done so much better, but they won't
OMG, what a beautiful car. Much thanks for such a good review. I have enjoyed your show for a few years now. I was hoping to buy a 911 Turbo S one day, but this car is making me reevaluate...
Thus is the nicest 911 since the original 60/70‘. I’d chose the targa for looks, heritage and the mix of coupe and convertible. I see it as a coupe with a big sunroof exactly my taste and logical for me They did an awesome job as you with this great Review. Like the sense of humor and details. When reviewing the 330 e touring please keep an eye to the difference to the sedan in terms of the Suspension? What changes dynamic m suspension
Beautiful... a little heavy though (the Targa is structurally heavy to being with, but they could reduce the weight by removing all the over stuffed & fattened amenities) ... then dump the ICE too, & go with 1000hp 4 wheel drive ev-lcg power! But I'm sure Porsche is already got that one on the drawing boards.
@@MyEyesBled Do you have any actual data to support your claims?! Ofcourse they care. Ferrari will make an EV and loose a ton of money on it because THEY HAVE TOO, to lower fleet emissions. No one cares about EV sportscars and our data shows only 9% of regular sports cars owners are interested in a full EV version, newer generations are not interested in cars at all. EV are actually desirable for city commutes, not mountain roads and tracks.
Always, always, always........ such exceptional presentation. Many times because of same it becomes not so much the vehicle, but your presentation......... The level of intelligence, elan, aesthetic you demonstrate is, of and by itself, "the show". Take care always!!! Du bist alleine in einer Klasse. Mein respekt an dich und die menschen bei Porsche
Wow why so late it mean we in Europe cannot watch it until the ending because working tomorrow morning it’s already 12 am in the Netherlands, next time up loaded your video earlier so I could watch it till the ending Mr T
18:59 I have this kind of cupholder in my Toyota Auris :D And it's not weird but it's one of the best things in this car besides reliability :D Great Review Thomas & team Autogefühl !
Hab schon lange auf dieses Video gewartet, sehr nett von der AG den Wagen in Thomas blau zu schicken. Jetzt noch eine lederfreie Stoff Version mit Karositzen!
I noticed a very light, high-pitched whirring noise when I drove the 991 Carrera 4S. Any idea what that sound is? The whirring gets louder and higher-pitched the faster you go. I definitely hear it on this video at 35:38 and for several seconds afterward.
You're making the most detailed and professional car reviews on yotube. The only thing I can't stand is how a German guy says Mersidis instead of Mercedes :)
This ride is about riding around town. For high speeds you would have the Top up for Wind and Sound . I'd have interest for another ride outside of the GT3 Manual and 911 S Manual.
Great review! Angle of the rear seats seems less severe than in the cabriolet, correct? And no one talks about the extra storage under the back glass, with the top up!
Thomas, how much noisier is the Targa - with the roof on - than a normal coupe? I have no problem with wind turbulence with the lid off, because a Targa with the top off is for low speed cruising around the town or ocean side boulevards. Slow enough to be seen! I'd never go faster than 40mph with the top off. Ha!
Will you allow 2 more drivers in your Porsche ? NO NO NO. That's why I did NOT choose the memory seats. But having said that, you might need it for Summer and Winter because there will be a difference in your driving position when you are seated with a T-shirts and a wool sweater.
Porsche targa is one of the most beautifual cars on the road and I would give my eye teeth to own one one day. This blue colour is also very pretty - would probably pick a different colour interior. To wrap or not that is the question !
The ‘Normal Exhaust’ in the video which looks like an Audi RS exhaust (meh) is actually the more expensive sport exhaust. The ‘Sport Exhaust’ on the aventurin targa is the less expensive (better looking) sport exhaust. Of course due to the turbo none of them really sound great, but personally I feel like the double tips on both sides look much better.
38:20 Loads of people complain about rattles, squeaks, too much noises etc. in modern day Porsches ... totally unacceptable, certainly at this price point.
You are right about the different noises you are hearing during the drive with the top on. Maybe the closing mechanism is the source of that noise who knows. Anyway, the more complex the car the more risks that some mechanism, feature to break down or to cause some inconcenience. The same with the software. If a software can be fixed with a patch or a new version, here, the recall is the option which is at least time consuming. Hey Porsche, don't change the receipe please!
What a beautiful colour. The dark colour almost hides that hunchback. And why do I get such joy watching you turn into a pretzel sitting in the back of this car??? I actually only have 1 question. What happens to the roof if you are parked in a parking garage or a parking spot with a concrete wall behind your car. Does the roof sense the wall or does it just crash into the wall? That roof extends behind the rear bumper.
Targa = Beautiful Convertible. Very logical to buy this if you find softtop convertibles hideous (like me). I would buy a 911 Targa, Ferrari Portofino ... but would not buy a 911 convertible.
Tech, power and craftsmanship is amazing. But 911's are getting big, put one next to a 930 and the difference is shocking - same thing if you put them on a scale. I think that more people would have more fun with a new 911 if it was lighter and smaller, it would even be so if power was down as long as the power to weight ratio is good.
How much lighter is it compared to the old model? (2019 model)I have heard that the glass roof was heavy in the old model and caused the car to roll more in the corners. Any improvement in the new model?
Enjoyed the video and really like the Targa which makes me ask the question. If wind noise is a problem, why haven't Porsche offered a wind deflector to attach to the Targa bar similar to that which Mercedes offers with their SL models?
I always wanted a 911 Targa, since I was a kid, now I’m 46 and still can’t afford one 😅. But now you put me in doubts because I’m a “convertible guy” (owned a couple of Miatas and now an A4 cabriolet) and I might want to reconsider my dream car as a 911 convertible over the beautiful but “less open” Targa. I don’t know, will try to spec them both on the Porsche online configurator and figure it out. Anyway my plan is to get one when I retire, so I have around 20 more years to decide which one I will get.
Follow your dream as 911 is for 2 persons only. Honestly. If you need a full size convertibile car Porsche is not that car, but the most beautiful dream.

You know you have a winner when it looks cool in almost any color. Not talking about Thomas right now but that Porsche.

looks terrific, be great to have an option with more power, especially for this sort of money. top review. well done.

11:00 "will you allow two more drivers in your porsche...eh not so sure about that" LOL
Good old school 911 and quality buildt. Air cool is the one and only!
Thunderbirds music should come as standard when opening the roof.. Great review.... In full HD, full screen and full length. Lets go!
Hi Thomas my 4th car because of you so my brother I have 4s heritage targa thanks so much keep up the good work
The gray on blue looks phenomenal
Chalk interior looks the best, thats what I ordered.
Beautiful... a little heavy though (the Targa is structurally heavy to being with, but they could reduce the weight by removing all the over stuffed & fattened amenities) ... then dump the ICE too, & go with 1000hp 4 wheel drive ev-lcg power! But I'm sure Porsche is already got that one on the drawing boards.
Dump the ICE and it will be even heavier.
Why would they drop the ICE and loose all their faithfull costumers?! No sense in that.
@The Fiber King Track times say otherwise still.

Thanks! If you look at the bottom of the door, there is a latch that connects to the bottom of the car. Do you know what this maybe? 10:46 time frame
Hab schon lange auf dieses Video gewartet, sehr nett von der AG den Wagen in Thomas blau zu schicken.
Jetzt noch eine lederfreie Stoff Version mit Karositzen!
👌
Very in deep review. I would say the best in the net.
I noticed a very light, high-pitched whirring noise when I drove the 991 Carrera 4S. Any idea what that sound is? The whirring gets louder and higher-pitched the faster you go. I definitely hear it on this video at 35:38 and for several seconds afterward.
Thank you for pointing out the wind noise. I will buy the convertable.
🤘better choice.
I don’t like the looks of the convertible as much, that hump on the rear. Targa a better looking car
911 Targa is the most favorite car of all my life, my god its so beautifull.
992 is retro n fresh and the Targa is pretty.
Always a beautiful car, always a good review.
Great review lovely car you look good in that Thomas!
the green color is really classy
You're making the most detailed and professional car reviews on yotube. The only thing I can't stand is how a German guy says Mersidis instead of Mercedes :)

This ride is about riding around town. For high speeds you would have the Top up for Wind and Sound . I'd have interest for another ride outside of the GT3 Manual and 911 S Manual.
Great review! Angle of the rear seats seems less severe than in the cabriolet, correct? And no one talks about the extra storage under the back glass, with the top up!
Exactly, I was looking for that comment regarding the additional storage, accessible also by opening the rear glass compartment only.
Thomas, how much noisier is the Targa - with the roof on - than a normal coupe?
I have no problem with wind turbulence with the lid off, because a Targa with the top off is for low speed cruising around the town or ocean side boulevards. Slow enough to be seen! I'd never go faster than 40mph with the top off. Ha!
Will you allow 2 more drivers in your Porsche ? NO NO NO. That's why I did NOT choose the memory seats. But having said that, you might need it for Summer and Winter because there will be a difference in your driving position when you are seated with a T-shirts and a wool sweater.
Just wear icebreaker regardless of the season. That said. I would let wifey drive it.
As usual a great and in depth review. thank you T. :)
Absolute steering brilliance , for sure
Fantastic car. Out of all models, except the Turbo and Turbo S, i'd get this over anything else in the 912 lineup.
Porsche targa is one of the most beautifual cars on the road and I would give my eye teeth to own one one day. This blue colour is also very pretty - would probably pick a different colour interior. To wrap or not that is the question !
The ‘Normal Exhaust’ in the video which looks like an Audi RS exhaust (meh) is actually the more expensive sport exhaust. The ‘Sport Exhaust’ on the aventurin targa is the less expensive (better looking) sport exhaust. Of course due to the turbo none of them really sound great, but personally I feel like the double tips on both sides look much better.
Thanks for the review Thomas. Great job. How did you manage to get it in Thomas blue and grey interior? Looks stunning!
Bought one. Took on the highway. Returned it. The wind buffeting is absurd.
Always thorough
38:20 Loads of people complain about rattles, squeaks, too much noises etc. in modern day Porsches ... totally unacceptable, certainly at this price point.
Agree. Surprised to see that especially in the 911
You are right about the different noises you are hearing during the drive with the top on. Maybe the closing mechanism is the source of that noise who knows. Anyway, the more complex the car the more risks that some mechanism, feature to break down or to cause some inconcenience.
The same with the software. If a software can be fixed with a patch or a new version, here, the recall is the option which is at least time consuming. Hey Porsche, don't change the receipe please!
"Will you allow two more people in your Porsche?". A more valid point has never been made ;)
I think the wind turbulence feature was added by the designer on the way home from the Christmas party
Is there sensor protection preventing the top from closing when you have luggage in the top storage area?
The most gorgeous 911 variant
What a beautiful colour. The dark colour almost hides that hunchback. And why do I get such joy watching you turn into a pretzel sitting in the back of this car???
I actually only have 1 question. What happens to the roof if you are parked in a parking garage or a parking spot with a concrete wall behind your car. Does the roof sense the wall or does it just crash into the wall? That roof extends behind the rear bumper.
@patrick.patrick patrick ahhhh, clever. I was thinking they must have something to prevent this from happening. Thanks!
Love the blue colour. Very discreet. Model not the most practical choice. But georgeous.
thats a real beauty, it would be nicer with smaller rims and higher profile tires
Put base model wheels (19/20 inch)
Done. I love how 20/21 inch rims look. After all this opinion is subjective.
Danke schon Thomas! Still an Audi fan : ]
Why they do not put a metal roof on Targa?
Targa = Beautiful Convertible. Very logical to buy this if you find softtop convertibles hideous (like me). I would buy a 911 Targa, Ferrari Portofino ... but would not buy a 911 convertible.
Tech, power and craftsmanship is amazing. But 911's are getting big, put one next to a 930 and the difference is shocking - same thing if you put them on a scale.
I think that more people would have more fun with a new 911 if it was lighter and smaller, it would even be so if power was down as long as the power to weight ratio is good.
Can't wait for your review on LEXUS LC CONVERTIBLE, hope its soon 😉
Hey Thomas, I'm still waiting for a proper RSQ3 review from you :-))) Do you think that you will do one in the future?
Is there also a windscreen in the Targa? If so, where is it located, the roll bar? I thought I've read articles about a wind deflector and windscreen
All in the review about the deflector
How much lighter is it compared to the old model? (2019 model)I have heard that the glass roof was heavy in the old model and caused the car to roll more in the corners. Any improvement in the new model?
The whole chassis is much stiffer in the 992. The Targa gained a lot in this year's model.
I love this so much will have one
Swivelling, the new Shibboleth for German car journalists. Swivelling Squirells.
Enjoyed the video and really like the Targa which makes me ask the question. If wind noise is a problem, why haven't Porsche offered a wind deflector to attach to the Targa bar similar to that which Mercedes offers with their SL models?
Thanks! Good question
I always wanted a 911 Targa, since I was a kid, now I’m 46 and still can’t afford one 😅. But now you put me in doubts because I’m a “convertible guy” (owned a couple of Miatas and now an A4 cabriolet) and I might want to reconsider my dream car as a 911 convertible over the beautiful but “less open” Targa. I don’t know, will try to spec them both on the Porsche online configurator and figure it out. Anyway my plan is to get one when I retire, so I have around 20 more years to decide which one I will get.
Follow your dream as 911 is for 2 persons only. Honestly. If you need a full size convertibile car Porsche is not that car, but the most beautiful dream.
Iulian LAZAR I know, that’s why I plan to get one when I retire and my daughter will be living on her own...
When is the gts due?
5:52 That's Demuro Level of Quirkiness.
I always wished Porsche would venture into the Aerospace sector. They would have smashed Piper, Cessna and even Beechcraft. Engineering perfection.
It is beautiful yes.
