Anyone know why the torque is lower in the S?

from Speedvision auto section:

I like the idea of a widebody (4S) Targa, I just can't stand the 997 interiors. Looks like the 993 Targa is still on the search list.

The silver trim is artistic genius... would look really slick on a dark color like blue/black with some polished aluminum rims....

the orange color reminds me of the Volvo C70 when it first came out... I believe the color was "Safron"

One man's artistic genius is another man's tacky bling.

And do they really need to have that unsightly seam on the C pillar?

Maybe you should repaint over your current colour?

I'm still unsure of the color, as being unique it has its charm (on a Porsche), and sometimes I look at it and I think it looks good, then other times, it does remind me of the Nissan Z. As a standard color I would consider it but not paint to sample as there are many other colors I would prefer.

Are there any more insights as to whether the Targa will be available in T2/T2S in addition to T4/T4S? I would guess no but I hear little rumors here and there both ways.

BTW from a web search it seems that the films and photographs for the web site were taken in New Zealand.

Good news- my wife likes. She wants blue, I want white. The only other question is whether in the next year we progress from talking/dreaming about it to actually pulling the trigger...

Get a Carrara White with a Sea Blue interior. You each get the color you want.

I don't like the silver trim. It looks like an "after thought" once the design process was completed.

Wow! I've never thought of or seen this color combo. Do you have any pictures?

The white exterior / sea blue interior scheme would be beautiful.

Actually when we went to the dealer awhile back and saw a C2S, it was a blue interior that she (and my mother in law!) picked. It may have been Sea Blue but I cannot remember.
