Porsche 911 Targa 4 (997.1) – Full Porsche Service History - Tiptronic S – 19" Carrera Classic Wheels – F – Ultra-Rare Collectible – & Much More

Your Opportunity: to acquire one of the rarest Australian-delivered Porsche 911s from the 997 era – the Targa 4. A true unicorn. Finished in deep Basalt Black with matching black leather interior and full Porsche Centre service history, this example sits at just ~95,000km and is one of perhaps two dozen Targa 4s ever sold new in Australia.

The Legend of the 911:
For over 60 years, the Porsche 911 has stood as the benchmark for sports car excellence. With its rear-engine layout, timeless silhouette, and motorsport DNA, the 911 remains a symbol of precision engineering and emotional driving. Each generation pushes the boundaries of design and dynamics, and the 997-series is widely celebrated for striking the perfect balance between modern refinement and analogue engagement.

What Makes the Targa 4 So Special:
Released in late 2006, the 997.1 Targa 4 introduced Porsche’s signature glass roof system to the 997 platform. It combined the elegance of a coupe with the open-air sensation of a convertible – a fully panoramic glass roof that slides under the rear windshield. But this wasn’t just about looks. The Targa 4 shared the Carrera 4’s wider body, all-wheel drive system, and upgraded underpinnings, delivering confident grip and handling in all conditions.

It is estimated that only ~20–25 units of the Targa 4 were sold new in Australia across 2006–2008, based on Porsche's own forecasts and import records. It is far rarer than the Targa 4S, and virtually impossible to find in this condition and with full Porsche service provenance.

Factory Options & Highlights:
• Tiptronic S Transmission – 5-speed auto with manual override paddles for smooth, versatile performance
• 19" Carrera Classic Wheels – Elegant, twin-spoke alloys with timeless Porsche design – est. value $3,000+
• Rear Park Assist – Factory-optioned parking aid for everyday practicality
• Three-Spoke Multi-Function Steering Wheel – Controls for audio and onboard systems at your fingertips
• Panoramic Sliding Glass Roof – A signature Targa feature offering unmatched visibility and open-air luxury
• Active All-Wheel Drive System – Rear-biased for dynamic grip with added traction in wet or uneven conditions
• Wider 911 Body Shell (Carrera 4 spec) – Enhanced presence and cornering stability
• Full Porsche Centre Service History – Meticulously maintained example with documented care

Powertrain & Performance:
• 3.6L Flat-Six Naturally Aspirated Engine
• 239kW (325hp) @ 6,800rpm
• 370Nm of torque @ 4,250rpm
• 0–100km/h in 5.8 seconds (Tiptronic)
• Top Speed: 275km/h

Unlike its 4S sibling, the Targa 4 maintains the classic naturally aspirated 3.6L flat-six, prized for its smoothness, rev-happiness and balance. Coupled with all-wheel drive and the Tiptronic S gearbox, it delivers a refined and engaging drive – perfect for long touring days or spirited weekend runs.

This is not just another 911. It’s an incredibly rare Targa 4 – likely one of the only chances you’ll have to buy one with full Porsche history, original options, and low mileage in Australia. An appreciating asset, a driver’s delight, and a serious collector’s candidate.
