Thanks a lot - I am really happy with it! Think about those tail lights and you might see if you can look at them on a black 911. The red brakes pull the red in from the tail lights (and remember you'll have red interior bits, including the piping on the seatbelts). Last, even with the clear tail lights the lower set of rear markers is still red, which to me kind of ruins the effect. Check it out live if you can!

I saw pictures today of a 2016 Targa GTS with the sport wheel and it's the current design, not the 918-style wheel. Build date was the end of March.

I understand some small turbulence since it has a wide open top, that's fine.
However is there any truth to some reviews i've read about creaking noises from the top storage area over bumps or squeaking from the gasket & window glass?

bernpep

Thank you, you are right. I was all primed to buy one when I read a few mixed reviews. When I test drove one last week the experience was sublime.

I have not heard any creaking or squeaking at all - turbulence as you would expect, but even at relatively high speeds it's more than acceptable.

Agree 100%. I've had my Targa 4s for 4 months and not a single squeak or creak. Build quality is exactly as expected from Porsche - excellent!

ditto. I also noticed watching the targa open and close there are no folding parts, as in the cab magnesium roof.

Hi Everyone.......First post.....Great looking car.......I am about to order a Targa GTS...Selling my 1989 930 Cab ....seems like an even trade to me...... I have had it since 1988, picked up european delivery...Just time to go with the more updated car.... Drove the new GTS TARGA and loved it......Spent many hours deciding on a color....But Matt Henry at Porsche Exclusive help me build a great car......It was between CWM or Carmine Red.......after switching a billion times....going with CM with CM GTS interior. One change I am doing is replacing the BLack GTS Wheels with the TURBO S wheels. Has anyone seen a TARGA with the Silver/Black Turbo S Wheels?????? I know this will be unique, but am still curious to see a photo. Also, was thinking of replacing the Alcantera front seats with Red seat inserts......But not sure on that. All great comments and photos on this sight...I hope to add my car soon! Should be here in October "ish".....Last summer picked up my Cayenne Diesel in Stuttgart......saw about a dozen 918 being put on trucks....so cool

I think we established elsewhere that the rear TurboS wheels are a different offset and probably will not work... fyi

hinckley

The front TurboS wheels on the GTS have an offset of 51. That's the same offset as the front TurboS wheels on the TurboS.

However, the rear TurboS wheels on the GTS have an offset of 48. The rear TurboS wheels on the TurboS have an offset of 56.

I did read that somewhere ... But Porsche exclusive had included this option in my build so it must be ok... approved by Matt Henry as an CXX option code

Things are definitely starting to loosen us with GTS deviations. You'll see a UAE member here who got silver TurboS wheels on his GTS (pics start at post 784): https://rennlist.com/forums/991/7085...nd-you-53.html

Note that the wheels on the UAE car are silver rather than the silver/black that come on the TurboS model. Either way, they look great. Keep us posted Werks!

I will keep you updated.... Still can't do a lot of deviated stitching....but piping might be In The works

The UAE wheels are the GTS wheels (not Turbo ones) painted silver instead of black. Neat change though!

hinckley

Maybe a bit of semantics? Porsche's descriptions of the standard wheels on the GTS and the Turbo S as the same - 20" 911 Turbo S Wheels. Of course, the standard finish is different on the two models.
