2014 PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 ESP

Beaut y has a lot to do with a clear design
language, with a focus on the essentials.
It ’s another reason why good design must
never be fanciful, but should always
express character.
The new 911 Targa 4 GTS does this in
the interior, too – with sporty ergonomics,
with exquisite equipment and with mater
-
ials that breathe motorsport. Especially:
Alcantara. It ’s used wherever some extra
protection against wear and tear might
be needed.
Sports seats Plus.
Sports seats Plus in smooth-finish
leather and with seat centres in
Alcantara are fit ted as standard and
come equipped with electric seat height
and backrest adjustment, as well as
mechanical fore/aft adjustment.
The side bolsters on the cushion and
backrest have firm, sport y padding
and offer excellent lateral support.
The ‘GTS’ logo embroidered on the
headrests is a striking feature.
Beauty in the beast.

Interior design.
GTS interior package.
The optional GTS interior package
highlights sports performance. The
interior is enhanced by accents in
Carmine Red or Platinum Silver. The
‘GTS’ logos on the headrests are
embroidered in a contrasting colour.

The package also includes various
decorative stitching elements, the
‘PORSCHE’ logo on floor mats and

the edges of the seat belts. The rev
counter dial is also finished in the
contrasting colour.

Motorsport minimalism is epitomised
by carbon. This particularly lightweight
material is used on the dashboard trim
strips and doors, as well as on the
centre console.

Another reason why the avant garde
has now been left behind.
Power transmission.
7-speed manual transmission.
Pure, direct, precise. Short shift move -
ments and an optimum transition from
one gear to the next. Fit ted as standard,
the 7-speed manual transmission com -
bines a high level of sport y performance
with fast gear changes. When the SPORT
PLUS but ton is activated, the dynamic
throttle-blip function ensures optimum
engine speed when changing down –
and an impressive sound.
A gear indicator in the rev counter
reminds you which gear has been
selected. The upshift indicator in the
instrument cluster helps you to actively
conserve fuel.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
A piece of Le Mans, a part of Porsche
motorsport history: Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). 7-speed PDK is
available as an option.
On the road or on the track, it facilitates
extremely fast gear changes within
milliseconds and with no interrup tion in
the flow of power, while at the same time
improving acceleration. Gears one to six
are sport y; the seventh gear has a long
ratio for bet ter fuel economy.
PTM (Porsche Traction Management).
The all-wheel-drive 911 Targa 4 GTS
combines a high level of performance
with optimum power transmission.
PTM (Porsche Traction Management),
the active all-wheel-drive system,
provides power distribution that adapts
to varying road and weather conditions.
For exceptional traction – especially at
the limits of dynamic driving. It comprises
an active all-wheel- drive system with an
electronically controlled multi-plate
clutch, automatic brake differential (ABD)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR). Drive power is distributed bet ween the
permanently driven rear axle and the
front axle by means of the electronically
variable multi-plate clutch. Sensors are
used to collect a range of data, including
the rotational speed of all four wheels,
the lateral and longitudinal acceleration
of the car and the current steering angle.
If, for example, the rear wheels threaten
to spin under acceleration, a greater
proportion of drive force is distributed to
the front. In addition, ASR prevents
wheel spin by adapting engine power
output. When cornering, the front wheels
only ever receive as much drive force

as is necessary to maintain optimum
lateral stability.

In the face of great art, words fail completely.
We’ll let the music do the talking.
Audio and communication.
Sound Package Plus.
The Sound Package Plus is fit ted as
standard. The system comprises a
separate amplifier with a total output of
235 wat ts, seven amplifier channels and
nine speakers, all of which combine to
create the perfect interior sound
experience.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) including navigation module.
Fit ted as standard, Porsche
Communication Management (PCM) is
the central control centre for audio,
navigation and communication functions.
The main feature is the intuitive, high-
resolution, 7 -inch touchscreen. The CD/ DVD drive can play CDs and

audio DVDs, and supports audio playback
of video DVDs.
The universal audio interface (USB) in
the glove compartment enables you to
connect your iPod
® or any audio source.
Recharging is also supported. Via the USB
port you can download the performance
display data from the Sport Chrono
Package and data from the electronic
logbook. You can also transfer up to
5,000 tracks (40 GB) in MP3 format to
the internal hard drive (or jukebox) of PCM
and play them from there. The navigation module of PCM with high-
speed hard drive features dynamic route
guidance, which recalculates the route in
response to official traffic messages
(TMC).
