Default Crazy wide body Targa
Bros, I don't know if how I'm supposed to feel about this, but the body and paint work is impeccable.

The fender flare and scoops ruin the flow of the lines. Wheels would be awesome in a different color, though not sure they're a great choice for the Targa. They might look good on the Cayman or maybe the Cayenne Turbo.

Just cause you have the means, doesn't mean you should do it.... but only important if the owner likes it.... I hope he does cause that will be tough to sell.

Looks like a toy car. Targas are wide to begin with and the extra, extra width looks all wrong. And the wheels? Ugh!

We have saying in the furniture business I am in. "Just because you have money doesn't mean you have taste".

Applicable here.

Nasty! Someone went and screwed up a perfectly good Porsche.

Having said that, I kinda like the nod to the SE 930 flatnose.

Beauty is in the eye...maybe so, but to this eye, that ain't it--just my old cranky guy opinion--

That is a shame. The whale tail looks horrible on that car.

geeeez. I hope that was a salvage rebuild.
Takes that special someone that wants attention and comments but does not need compliments. A fool and their money are lucky to get together anyhow.
