THE Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS, priced at BD53,700, has arrived at Behbehani Brothers’ Porsche Centre Bahrain with the legendary model boasting more power than ever before.
Wearing the GTS badge for the first time in its history it is the most recent addition to the Porsche model range in the kingdom.
The concept of the Targa, which made its debut in 1965, delivers safe driving enjoyment with all-wheel drive and a wide roll-over protection bar instead of B-pillars.
A moveable roof section adds an element of fresh air fun, and can be stowed fully automatically at the press of a button in just 19 seconds in the latest models.
In the 911 Targa 4 GTS, the timeless design of the original blends seamlessly with the latest developments in Porsche performance, and builds yet further upon the sporty heritage of the GTS bloodline.
Colin Sattar, brand manager at Porsche Centre Bahrain, said: “The 911 Targa 4 GTS personifies the brand’s heritage in creating true sports cars for every day; delivering the latest in motor sport technology in the comfort, safety and luxury of a road car.
“Its iconic roof concept provides the ultimate in automotive enjoyment, whilst the GTS badge it wears with pride signifies unrivalled driving dynamics and performance. This is an exquisitely styled addition to our model line-up – and the GTS family – and I look forward to seeing it welcomed to Bahrain with much excitement.”
The GTS engineers say it’s the most dynamic in the range with a 430hp engine taking the car from 0 to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds thanks to the standard Sport Chrono package, PASM chassis and PDK transmission.
Unmistakable as a GTS, the front view is defined by the sport design of the front end with an opening for the auxiliary middle radiator and smoked bi-xenon headlights with the Porsche Dynamic Light System. Side-on, the car’s characteristic GTS attributes are the silky gloss black 20-inch 911 Turbo S wheels with central locks, sport design door mirrors and ‘GTS’ signatures on the doors. The ‘targa’ logo on the silver rollover protection bar is also painted in silky gloss black. Black accents at the rear include a glossy trim on the special GTS air inlet screen and the model logo.
GTS DNA also defines the interior. Integrated at the centre of the instrument panel is the stopwatch of the Sport Chrono package. The four-way adjustable Sport Plus front seats – with their black GTS logos on the head restraints – provide additional lateral support and long-distance cruising comfort for the driver and passenger. The standard aluminium door sill plates feature the ‘targa 4 GTS’ model name in black, leaving no doubt over the source of the model’s sporty characteristics.
