2014 PORSCHE 911 TARGA4 light

It doesn’t just attract glances.
It turns them into gazes.
Exterior design.
At Porsche, design has always been about
much more than good looks. Design has
always had a function, too. Only then does
it possess genuinely captivating power,
and hold the admirer under its spell.

We’ve given the new 911 Targa 4 GTS
every thing that a sports car needs for
captivating appeal: a powerful front, a
broad rear, a sharpened design. And
Carmine Red paint work, which – with the
GTS – is available as an option for the
911 models for the very first time. And
brings into prominence those elements
of the exterior finished in black. The sport y design of the front apron is
clear to see – yet pared down to the
essentials. Aerodynamics are excellent
thanks to the optimised front spoiler,
while large air intakes ensure the supply
of fresh air is maximised.
Typical of a GTS are the Bi-Xenon main
headlights including the Porsche Dynamic
Light System (PDLS) in black as well as
SportDesign exterior mirrors, all of which
are fit ted as standard.

12The silver-coloured Targa roll bar is a
characteristic feature. The ‘targa’ logo
underneath the side gills is in black.
Black creates further contrasts, too,
such as on the engine’s air intake grille
and on the t win tailpipes of the sports
exhaust system fit ted as standard.

A fusion of form and function. With a

rear that is 44 mm wider than that of
the 911 Carrera S and which makes
the 911 Targa 4 GTS appear even more
muscular. With the elegantly rounded
rear window. With the innovative Targa
roof, which opens or closes fully
automatically in just 20 seconds. With
the seamless taillight strip built on
modern LED technology – and the
superlative sport y traction of the
all-wheel drive. Aesthetics from the racetrack:
20
-inch Turbo S wheels, fit ted as
standard and featuring a central locking
device and paint finish in satin black.
Five-spoke, 20-inch Carrera S alloy
wheels – also painted in satin black –
are available as an option. Both of
these large wheels are characterised
by their excellent roadholding and
racetrack performance.
We can analyse the captivating power of
the new 911 Targa 4 GTS. We can explain
it. And we can describe it in the language
of design. There’s only one thing we
cannot do: resist.

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.

Brakes.
The front axle features red, six-piston
aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers
while the rear wheels are equipped with
four-piston equivalents. The brake disc
diameter is 340 mm at the front and
330 mm at the rear. The results are
enhanced stability and excellent
braking performance.
Available as an option is the track-proven
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB). The cross-drilled ceramic brake
discs all have a diameter of 350 mm.
The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed brake calipers at the front and four-
piston units at the rear – all finished in
yellow – ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are exceptionally
consistent. The demands of racetrack use mean

that additional maintenance tasks
will be required alongside the routine
maintenance work scheduled as part
of standard maintenance intervals.
Bi-Xenon main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS).
Bi-Xenon main headlights in black with
dynamic range control and a headlight
cleaning system are a standard feature.
Even greater visibilit y is provided by the
dynamic cornering lights in the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS). It swivels
the headlights towards the inside of a
bend, based on steering angle and
road speed.

The smoked LED front light units
incorporate direction indicators, daytime
running lights and position lights.
LED main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS +
).
Superior safety, sporty design: LED main
headlights with PDLS +
are available as
optional equipment. Integrated into each
headlight housing are four LED spots
for the daytime running lights and one
LED light ring.
In addition to being efficient and durable,
LED technology also creates a light very
similar to daylight and thus helps to
reduce driver fatigue. One special feature of PDLS
+
is the
dynamic main beam function. A camera
detects the lights of vehicles ahead as
well as those of oncoming traffic. Based
on the data from the camera, the
dynamic main beam function then adapts
the headlight range accordingly. This
continuous, stepless control means that
you are able to see the course of the
road, pedestrians and potential hazards
earlier without hindering other road users.
Nothing against aesthetic minimalism,
but here we’re radical maximalists.
Safety.
