A Design Overview and Story of the 911 Targa Heritage Design Edition

Everyone knows the Porsche 911 moniker. However, the Porsche brand continues to bring forth unique design schemes to the model – such as the Targa Heritage Design Edition. As an ultra-modern Porsche 911, its design makes callbacks to the 550 and 356 models on top of the first Targa models in the 1960’s. Meanwhile, an entire section of its name – “Targa” – means ‘shield,’ meant to represent its five Targa Florio victories in the mid-1950s and 60s. The model completely embodies modern ingenuity with its historic past. For more information on the story behind its design, Galpin Porsche of Santa Clarita dove head-first into the model.
