2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 – 10 Fast Facts

3.0-Litre Engine

The 2021 Porsche 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, twin-turbocharged boxer engine. The same power source which is used in the 911 Carrera models.

385 Horsepower

The six-cylinder engine produces 283 kW (385 PS) at 6,500 rpm. The maximum torque is 450 newton metres. It is available on a wide engine speed range between 1,950 and 5,000 rpm.

Sport Exhaust

The exhaust system of the 911 Targa includes map-controlled and fully variable exhaust flaps, which help to deliver an emotive aural experience. The standard exhaust of the 911 Targa 4 features two single tailpipe finishers, while the optional sports exhaust system can be recognised by its two oval exhaust outlets.

8-Speed PDK

The 911 Targa 4 is equipped as standard with the eight-speed PDK (dual clutch) transmission. Compared to the previously used 7-speed PDK, all gears have new ratios. First gear is shorter and eighth gear longer. The taller final-drive ratio reduces the engine speeds in higher gears. This makes longer journeys more comfortable.

All-Wheel Drive

The all-wheel drive with the Porsche Traction Management (PTM) system provides optimised traction in all road conditions. PTM’s electronically controlled and fully variable multi-plate clutch distributes drive force between the front and and the rear axle to ensure the optimal distribution of power in every driving situation.

The 911 Targa 4 is equipped with mixed tyres. At the front axle, the tyre size is 235/40 ZR19. At the rear, there are 295/35 ZR20 tyres. The different wheel dimensions front and rear help the new car build up even higher cornering forces and further improve traction.

Stopping Power
