About this car

The 2008 Porsche 911 Targa 4S Safari carries Meteor Grey Metallic paint over a Black interior and rides on a 3.8L H6 paired with a six-speed manual and all-wheel drive.

Front and rear bash guards protect the body while a factory Porsche Dakar roof rack with LED lighting, sand ladders, and a spare wheel support extended travel. Stainless exhaust tips finish the rear.

Inside, sport seats face a Bose high-end audio system, a rear parking camera, and a built-in Passport radar detector.

Targa

The Porsche 911 Targa 4S (997 generation) was produced between 2006 and 2012 as part of the fifth iteration of the iconic 911 lineup. This model, an evolution of the classic Targa concept, combined all-wheel drive with a distinctive retractable glass roof panel, offering a unique open-air driving experience while maintaining structural rigidity. Approximately 30,000 units of the 997 Targa (across all variants) were produced, with the 4S being a smaller subset, enhancing its appeal among collectors seeking rarer configurations.

Equipped with a 3.8-liter flat-six engine, the Targa 4S delivered 385 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, achieving 0-60 mph in around 4.5 seconds with a top speed of approximately 183 mph. Its all-wheel-drive system provided superior handling and traction, distinguishing it from rear-wheel-drive counterparts. The 997 generation is noted for refined design and improved driving dynamics over earlier models. For exotic car collectors, the Targa 4S holds value due to its limited production and unique roof design, with well-maintained examples showing steady appreciation in recent years, especially low-mileage or special-order vehicles. Its blend of performance and rarity makes it a sought-after piece of Porsche history.
