A super complicated and heavy roof mechanism located near the top of the car. Interesting.
Pretty neat gimmick to watch, but man I'd sure hate to be the one to foot the bill when that thing takes a dive out of warranty.
I'd rather have a coupe, or even a convertible than this, which, to me, comprises all the worst attributes of both. Not as structurally sound or quiet as a coupe, not as open as a convertible.

That said, I will always have coupes and preferably with sunroof delete.

Personally i am aware that more than engineering at these days is MARKETING driving the
projects, so i am worried but luckily i don t drive the Targa so i can sleep well
such a powerful engine is now enough to take-off :-)
and my opinion is that is a BIG aerodynamic mistake not a a Cab not a Coupe'

The glass won't work as a wing, because porsche has some flaps above the sunvisors that come up when the roof is retracted. That will make the air flow over the rear... Kinda like what Mercedes uses...

I love it, a new 911 comes out and plenty of folks come running out complaining how 450 pounds have been added to the rear of the car when the Targa top is down. Can't we ever have people stop complaining.
