The 997 Targa 4S is distinguished from the standard Carrera by a retractable glass roof panel, wider rear bodywork, and a reflective heckblende between the taillights, and this example is finished in Carrara White. Additional features include bi-xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) as well as a speed-activated rear spoiler, integrated fog lights, clear taillights, and quadruple exhaust outlets. A January 2015 entry on the Carfax report lists damage to the front of the car. Blemishes on various panels are identified in close-up photos provided in the gallery below.
Optional 19″ 911 Turbo II wheels were mounted with 235/35 front and 305/30 rear Pirelli P Zero tires in June 2018. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) was standard equipment. Braking is provided by red-painted Porsche-branded calipers fitted over cross-drilled rotors at all four corners. The front CV axles were replaced in February 2022.
The 12-way power-adjustable and heated front seats and the rear seats are upholstered in black leather, and they are complemented by a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, and door panels. Porsche-branded floor mats line the black carpeted footwells, and additional appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, driver-seat position memory settings, and a Bose sound system linked to Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation.
The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel fronts a 200-mph speedometer, a central tachometer with a 7,400-rpm redline, and gauges for oil temperature, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. A Sport Chrono stopwatch is mounted atop the dashboard. The digital odometer indicates 36k miles, approximately 3k of which were added by the seller.
The 3.8-liter flat-six was rated at 385 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque when new. An oil change was performed in February 2022.
Power is sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transaxle. Additional underside images are shown in the gallery.
