Default Targa Turbo

Not sure if this is the correct section of RL to post this (991forum) but I was recently informed that Porsche will be offering the newly released Targa with a turbo and turboS as an option. For those old enough to remember, Porsche did this back in the 80's on a limited basis. Given the much higher number of Porsches produced today, I would suspect it will be higher than in the 80's (350 units total or so) but still small compared to the rest of the 991 line up.

The eagle eyed ones out there spotted the turbo scoops in a split-second shot in the intro video shown at the Targa unveiling.

It'll need the turbo to make up for the weight.

Since I can't take myself out of the car, the extra weight of the Targa is negligible in comparison.
