Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur has unveiled a new Heritage Design Edition of the 911 Targa S.
The Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition combines historical exterior and interior design elements with the latest technology.
The special edition cars come in exclusive paintwork such as Cherry Metallic or the four other available exterior colours. Gold logos and stylish white liveries also create an authentic 50s style look.
Spear-shaped graphic motorsports elements feature on the front wings and recall the early days of Porsche competition history.
A further highlight of the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition is the Porsche Heritage badge on the luggage compartment grille, which is reminiscent of the one that was awarded back in the day when a Porsche 356 reached the 100,000km mark.
The connection between past and present is also emphasised by the 1963 Porsche Crest on the bonnet, steering wheel, wheel centres and vehicle key. This historical motif is also embossed on the head restraints and key pouch.
Further emphasis is provided by the new model’s standard 20/21-inch Carrera Exclusive Design wheels and classic-look brake callipers finished in Black.
The interior of the Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition also pays tribute to the past with the exclusive two-tone leather interior, combining Bordeaux Red leather with OLEA club leather in Atacama Beige, or Black leather with OLEA club leather in Atacama Beige.
The use of corduroy on seats and door trims signals the return of a material used in the Porsche 356, reviving the zeitgeist and fashion of the 50s.
The green-illuminated rev counter underlines the emotive nature of the concept in the same way that the perforated roofliner in microfibre fabric and extensive Exclusive Manufaktur leather trim do. A metal badge on the trim panel of the dashboard records the individual limited-edition number.
The 911 Targa 4S Heritage Edition can be ordered now and will arrive in dealerships from late 2020 onwards.
Only 992 examples will be built, matching the internal model series code. Along with the introduction of the special edition, selected interior elements will be available as part of the Heritage Design package for all current 911 models.
Porsche Design has also created a high-quality chronograph, to be built in restricted numbers as well, exclusively available to purchasers of the new limited edition model.
This mechanical watch sports an elegant and clean design and, just like the Porsche 911 Targa Heritage Edition, is limited to 992 units.
Here, the designers have again drawn their inspiration for many of its details from the legendary Porsche 356 and iconic Porsche 911 Targa.
The design of its watch face, with its white second hand and Phosphorus Green rings, is inspired by the cars’ speedometer and rev counter while the hours on the watch face are inscribed in a font that is deeply characteristic of Porsche.
The watch’s strap is made of genuine Porsche interior leather and the way that 911 is embossed on it is a further tribute to the iconic sports car.
