Inside the cabin, the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition features a combination of Bordeaux Red leather with OLEA club leather in Atacama Beige or Black leather, corduroy on seats and door trims reverberating the Porsche 356, historical motif embossed on the head restraints & key pouch, green-illuminated rev counter, perforated roof liner in microfibre fabric and a metal badge on the trim panel that bears the individual limited edition number.
The 2021 992-series Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition is powered by a 3.0-litre six-cylinder, horizontally-opposed engine with twin turbochargers that produce 450 PS of power and 530 Nm of torque matched to an 8-speed dual-clutch Porsche Dopplekuplung (PDK) transmission paired to an intelligent all-wheel drive Porsche Traction Management (PTM) unit that can make the car sprint from a standstill to 100 kmph in 3.6 seconds (with Launch Control) and achieve a top speed of 304 kmph.
To match the sports car the manufacturer’s have also created a high-quality wrist watch exclusive for the car owners limited to 992 timepieces. The 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition Chronograph is a mechanical watch which draws its design inspiration from the Porsche 356 and the iconic Targa. The mechanical timepiece is a certified chronometer with a green ring on the dial inspired by the cars’ speedometer and rev counter with white second hand and leather straps made from the Porsche interior leather embossed with ‘911’ logo as a further tribute to the sports car.
