The range-topping Carrera wants to be all things to all drivers. Assuming they like a Targa.
What to make of the 911 Targa in 2022? Well, it’s hard to imagine another manufacturer going to the trouble of building two different versions of a convertible. Especially the version which owes its existence to a decades-old legislative quirk, and requires a sizeable engineering lift to produce.
Even if you’re disinclined to do either, it does make the flagship Targa very easy to get along with. Not just in town, either. With the handling-versus-comfort compromise wound back in favour of the latter, the car makes a better fist of very uneven B roads, too. Abrupt changes in gradient had a tendency to fluster the coupe’s rigorous vertical stiffness; the bit more latitude afforded to the Targa is the difference between a few grin-and-bear it moments and none at all.
The problems, such as they are, exist at the margins of the Targa experience. Or, more specifically, at either end of the performance scale. Firstly, the very slow. Stationary, in fact. Because that’s the way you still need to be to operate the car’s hugely complicated hood, a gyratory swirl of motors and glass which is pitifully short on elegance and, when sat at traffic lights, chronically long on time.
