About this car

The 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa pairs timeless 911 styling with a distinctive retractable glass roof that blends coupe practicality and open-air refinement. Finished in Black over Graphite Grey leather, this example is powered by a 3.6L H6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. With 64,830 miles recorded, it delivers the engaging performance and everyday usability that define the 996-generation Targa.

Every mechanical and comfort feature has been retained from the original specification, including VarioCam Plus variable valve timing, Motronic ME 7.8 engine management, and a fully integrated electronic ignition and fuel-injection system. The chassis employs MacPherson strut front suspension with aluminum components, an independent five-link rear suspension, front and rear stabilizer bars, and power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering. Braking is handled by cross-drilled four-wheel discs with four-piston light-alloy calipers, while 17-inch wheels fill the arches at each corner.

Inside, the 2+2 cabin features individually folding rear seat backs, power windows with one-touch operation, automatic climate control with filtration, cruise control, and a comprehensive instrumentation package that includes an analog tachometer and digital odometer. Safety provisions encompass door-mounted side-impact airbags, three-point inertia-reel belts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, and front and rear crumple zones. Exterior details include integrated front fog lights, a left-side rear fog light, power-heated color-keyed mirrors, and tinted glass with a graduated windshield.

Targa

The Porsche 911 Targa 996, part of the fifth generation of the iconic 911 lineup, was produced between 2002 and 2005. This model marked the return of the Targa variant after a brief hiatus, with approximately 5,000 units built worldwide, making it a relatively rare variant within the 996 series. It was offered with two engine options: a 3.6-liter flat-six producing 320 horsepower in the standard model and, for the Targa 4S, a tuned version delivering similar output but with all-wheel drive as standard.

A defining feature for collectors is the unique sliding glass roof, a modern reinterpretation of the classic Targa design, offering an open-air experience without compromising structural rigidity. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 5.0 seconds for the base model, with a top speed of approximately 174 mph. The Targa 996 is often overshadowed by other 996 variants like the GT3, but its scarcity and distinctive design have seen steady interest among exotic car enthusiasts. Recent value trends show moderate appreciation, particularly for well-maintained, low-mileage examples, with prices varying widely based on condition and provenance.
