Porsche Torque with Alex Manos

The Porsche 911 Targa was the last of its kind, which in itself makes it one of our favourites. From this point on, the Targa was a very different car: this was the last car to feature the traditional Targa design of fixed-hoop, removable roof panel and glass rear screen.

In October 1989 the Porsche Carrera 2 was announced as a rear-wheel drive car; at the same time, Tiptronic automatic transmission was launched. And in August 1991 the Turbo-Look body style for the Carrera 2 Coupe and Cabriolet was introduced. The 964 Carrera was the last generation sold with the traditional removable Targa roof until the 991 in 2014.
