Default Size caparison TTS vs Targa 4 GTS
Does anyone have pictures of the TTS and the targa 4 GTS. It says on Porsches website there is a 2 in width difference. To me it looks like a bigger difference.

All in the hips. Essentially an inch on each side from centerline, which then makes all points to center larger and rounder on the Turbo. I think the rear spoiler of the turbo adds to the wider look too

I didn't think the 2" difference would have made it visually wider, I guess with the wing it adds to it as well.

Thank you for your response.

Agree with this. The TTS looks wider than the 2" difference on the spec sheet.

Part of it may actually be the targa glass, which has a more vertical space illusion. I dunno. Photos aren't to scale I'm not that talented in scraping photos off the internet!

Definitely an inch in total on either side, but I think there's probably points in space that are greater than 1 in on either side, through the various curves, if that makes sense. Like underneath the rear window or the equivalent space on the targa, thicker curves

It looks like the back of the TTS sits lower so it looks wider. Also the way the targa rear window is shapped it looks more pointed, not as round. Actually the angle of the photos taken are different.
