2024 Porsche 911 Targa

At 4,051 miles from new, this 2024 992 Targa 4 has barely been run in. Finished in Agate Grey — a reserved but sophisticated metallic that suits the Targa body particularly well — it carries an options list well into five figures, anchored by the Front Axle Lift System (a near-essential addition for urban use), SportDesign Package, Sport Chrono with Mode Switch and Track Precision App, BOSE Surround Sound, and Sports Exhaust with black tailpipes. The 20/21-inch Carrera Exclusive Design Wheels in Satin Platinum complement the grey paintwork, and the Targa roll bar is finished in Satin Black rather than the standard brushed aluminium.

The original owner approached the specification with evident care: the entire vehicle has been wrapped in Paint Protection Film preserving the Agate Grey finish from new, and smaller details — the model designation delete, key painted to match the exterior colour, Porsche Crest headrests — suggest a car built to a considered brief. Just serviced by Porsche ahead of sale, it retains manufacturer's warranty through June 2027.

Mechanically, the Targa 4 uses Porsche's 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six producing 380bhp, channelled through the 8-speed PDK and permanent all-wheel drive. The 0-62mph time of 4.4 seconds and 180mph top speed place it at the capable rather than extreme end of the 911 range — a car equally composed in city traffic or on a long cross-country run, with the added occasion of the fully automatic folding Targa roof.
