Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Have a boring question but wondering if anyone can explain/justify the over £13k Price difference between the two cars as below the differences Ive managed to piece together. Targa 4 = 385 PS and £105,800 19/20 rears Targa 4S = 450 PS and £118,800 20/21 rears STD on Targa 4S : Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus), which includes an electronic rear limited slip differential with fully variable torque distribution. On the Targa 4, the standard cast iron rotors measure 330 millimeters in diameter front and rear and use black four-piston monobloc fixed callipers. The red painted brake callipers on the Targa 4S have six pistons at the front axle, four at the rear, while its rotors measure 350 mm front and rear. Other than the differences above are there any other differences that Im being oblivious to?

POST 2Original post

Other than what you have already mentioned it just power and wheels Targa 4 = 385 PS and 450Nm Targa 4s = 450 PS and 530Nm Targa 4 = 19-inch/ 20-inch Carrera Wheels with 235/40 ZR 19 front tyres and 295/35 ZR 20 rear tyres Targa 4s = 20-/21-inch Carrera S wheels with 245/35 ZR 20 front tyres and 305/30 ZR 21 rear tyres

It’s worth bearing in mind that the Targa variant is much heavier than the standard coupe and thus the lower power engine may not provide the desired performance but clearly that’s a subjective assessment. It’s often recommended to add the PTV+ option back in to a C4 car too and I would guess the same applies to a Targa 4. It’s about £1k. From the classic Porsche perspective the additional £13K for the 4S gives you access to even more cost options. 😊
