Default Porsche 991 Targa 4S Exclusive Edition only 15 units made

Created by Porsche Exclusive, this limited-run Targa 4S wears a Gulf Blue exterior paint combined with glossy black graphics and accents along with smoked headlights featuring the company's Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+). It rides on 20-inch black Fuchs alloy wheels and has received LED taillights while the Sport Chrono Package and Dynamic Chassis Control come as standard.

Looks nice... I would pass on the Porsche badges on the door. Love that interior though!

I like it, but other than the seats and head lights, anyone can just configurate their cars like this. What makes it exclusive?

This fits perfectly as a money grabber car. I wonder who will fall for it??

BTW, I don't think the smoked headlights are legal in my provinces.

This is known as emptying out the parts bin.
I think their use of the word "exclusive" is starting to wear a little thin..

That is a much nicer look than the club coupe in my opinion.

I actually like the blue color and black Porsche logo along the side; pretty cool looking. However, it seems odd they'd build this on the 4S Targa instead of the GTS version.

Porsche has activated the long time gimmicky marketing strategy of corporate VWAG siblings Lamborghini and Bugatti in having an unending plentiful line of badge-engineered " special edition " 911s ... not good for them , IMO, as sooner or later buyers are conditioned to just sit on their hands waiting for the next " special edition " , knowing that they actually represent the best value vs optioning all those things separately .

I'll take a contrarian position on the "parts bin" and other comments that speak to reservations. There are no "parts bin" options for these seats. The exterior would probably be a PTS, but that could create a year delay. There are other more-or-less unique combinations here. So maybe the "exclusive" moniker is growing a bit old, but if I were buying new, and if I was interested in a Targa this would pique my interest. There certainly won't be a lot of these on the US highways! A buyer won't wait for the next special edition if that buyer likes what he sees. As long as Porsche doesn't uplift prices beyond the normal costs for the options and as long as dealers will, well, deal - I say more power to Porsche for offering up special, unique packages!

Limited to 15? Have they even sold 15 of the regular Targas?

As a 50th owner, I self-interestedly hope they don't offer it as an option.

Haha. +1

Nothing is actually ever sacred, sadly.
