Verdict
The Targa is undoubtedly more lifestyle-focused than other 911s, and it pays a small price in weight as a result, but this is still a formidable performance car that can also be a long-distance GT and a stylish open-top cruiser. Putting the premium you’ll pay for the Heritage Design Edition to one side, that makes this an accomplished all-rounder with remarkably few major flaws.
We were pretty taken with the latest generation of Porsche 911 Targa when we tried it in left-hand-drive form last summer. Now we’ve been able to get behind the wheel of a right-hooker on UK roads - and a Heritage Design Edition to boot.
