Customer needs
- Our customer wants an authentic, classic 911 Targa
- He really likes the design of the F body model, but would like to see a more modern and sporty driving performance
- Individual interior design
- He wants to use it for vacations to Italy and Sunday drives around Berlin
- Budget approx. 150k EUR incl. base vehicle
Our proposal
- Carrera 3.2 Targa with modern G50 gearbox
- Chrome equipment and possibly sheet metal look from the predecessor model
- The vehicle is painted baltic blue metallic with chrome bars, mirrors and moldings
- It comes with a particularly high-quality interior in luxor beige and a Nardi wooden steering wheel
Advantages of the Carrera 3.2 series for customers
- Last series of the G-model, therefore very mature and durable
- High availability on the market
- Authentic driving behavior of a classic 911
- AC system, heated seats, power windows available
- Inexpensive to maintain
- Several variations of new construction possible
Disadvantages of the series
- Not as modern as a 964, therefore only partially suitable for everyday use as a daily driver
- Analog to 964, there are often rust problems here too
- Driving behavior of a vintage car - 915 transmission with even more vintage shifting feel.
- Original targa roof is cumbersome, never really 100% tight and wind noise unavoidable - tip: drive open, buy an emergency soft top, if necessary have a premium synthetic glass roof made
Conclusion
- For many, a 911 Targa is THE! Porsche, since "Targa" was a special Porsche invention
- The vehicle looks beautiful and classic
- A 3.2 Carrera is a very charming but old car without modern safety features
- In contrast to the 915 transmission, the G 50 transmission model year '87 is modern and sophisticated
- A targa is something special to know and appreciate its quirks and benefits.
- Think of it as an open vehicle that you close only occasionally.
- Alternatively, you can opt for a Carrera 3.2 Cabrio with an electric soft top
