OLD BUT NEW: THE 911 TARGA HAS BEEN AROUND SEEMINGLY FOREVER, BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN QUITE LIKE THIS

摘要

BLAME RALPH NADER FOR the Porsche 911 Targa's existence. Or if you like Targas, credit him. The story goes, back in the '60s while auto-safety busybody Nader was getting attention primarily for pummeling the Chevrolet Corvair as being unsafe, he was also singling out convertibles as deathtraps. Porsche worried someone might actually listen to Nader and ban convertibles in the U.S., its biggest playground. So Ferry Porsche designed a solution: a car with a stainless-steel rollover hoop and removable top. Voila! The Targa was born.
