  • 2021 Porsche 911 Targa vs 1986 Porsche 911 Targa review by The Straight Pipes. The 2021 Porsche 911 Targa is putting down 379hp 332 lb-ft tq from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer 6 cylinder engine and the 1986 Porsche 911 Targa has 207hp 192 lb-ft tq from a naturally aspirated 3.2 liter boxer 6 cylinder. This is part of our old vs new legendary series where we take very special cars with a long history and compare them to see how they've changed (or stayed the same) over time. At $165,380 CAD, would you take it over the 1986 Porsche 911 Targa?

      For a fair comparison, put a BMW 3 series from both ages next to each other, and a Mustang and a Golf, etc. ALL cars have got bigger (safety, HP, size inflation - you can get someone to buy a new Golf if it's a bit bigger than the old one, until the Golf is the size of a Passat and the Polo is the size of the Golf - rinse and repeat).
      The 992 is not really a big car (ran one on the roads of the UK and it's definitely wieldy on the bends).

    I’m sure someone else has said this, but the heat in the ‘86 comes off the exhaust (if it’s anything like my mom’s ‘75 914). There are basically air tubes around the manifolds, and a little fan pulls the hot air into the cabin when the heater is one.

    The Pipes were born in '86, I was 33 then. Time flies. Gloss black is the worst, dust and scratches galore. The '86 may not have the exhaust sound but the engine sound is classic, like a giant well-oiled sewing machine.
