Why 911 call targa
The Porsche 911 Targa is a variant of the Porsche 911 sports car. The term “Targa” in this context refers to a specific body style. It’s a semi-convertible car design where a removable roof section and a full-width roll bar behind the seats are present. This design was introduced by Porsche in the late 1960s as a response to concerns about the safety of convertibles.
The name “Targa” comes from the Targa Florio, a famous road race in Sicily. Porsche named the car after this race to celebrate their victories there. The Targa body style offers the open-air experience of a convertible while providing more rollover safety and a distinctive style. It’s been a popular model in the Porsche 911 line-up for decades, known for its unique blend of sports car performance and somewhat more practical design compared to a full convertible.
