Possible the most complex folding roof ever...

And I absolutely LOVE IT!

In 3 years there will be a thread posted here asking how to fix it because it is out of warranty.

IMO, the best looking Targa ever. LIGHTYEARS better than the abominations foisted upon us during the 993/996/997 years.

Sorry, I thought clicked on the "start at 30 seconds in" prompt on YouTube.

I am really happy that they were able to make the traditional Targa glass look so good on the new 991. I was very apprehensive when I first heard of it last year. Ruf's 997 Targa is alright, but this 991 looks right.

Just my opinion.

The OP said it.... Possible the most complex folding roof ever.

Got to love the monkey motion and can't wait to see what they did for the cup holder.

They finally hired back the guy that designed the heater/ventilation system in my 84!



It does look pretty darn good though.

Good looking car but SO many parts to break over the years!

What would have been so bad with a manually removed top?

I love it, but as stated it looks a wee bit complex.

Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make...
