This drop-top Porsche is all about the exterior looks. Instead of the traditional soft-top cabriolet style offering, the Targa makes use of a hardtop folding roof that cantilevers back into the trunk in a folding process that takes around 19 seconds to complete. The Targa 4 also features an auto-deploying rear spoiler, a slew of 'Targa' logos, and a set of 19-inch alloys in the front and 20-inch alloys in the rear on Targa 4s, and 20/21s on the 4S and 4 GTS, with the latter getting model-specific Satin Black items. 50 Years Porsche Design models come with exclusive bading on the doors and grille.
The optional Sport Design package on the base model adds a new front and rear fascia and an extended front lip spoiler, while upper trims can select Sport Design side skirts. Porsche will ask 1,610 of your hard-earned dollars to paint the front air intakes and lower rear fascia in the same hue as the rest of the car. The Targa 4S gets two dual-tube tailpipes at the back which replaces the base model's two single-tube tailpipes. The new GTS has various exterior black accents and a sport exhaust system with two oval tailpipes.
The 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 shares its dimensions with the regular Cabriolet and Carrera models and measures 177.9 inches in length with a wheelbase of 96.5 inches. The GTS is slightly longer at 178.5 inches. Total height is 51.1 inches, and the width with the mirrors folded is 72.9 inches. The Targa 4S is slightly taller at 51.2 inches.
The base Targa 4 weighs 3,658 pounds - nearly 200 lbs heavier than the 911 Carrera 4 Coupe - but the lightest model is actually the Targa 4S with the manual gearbox at 3,602 lbs. With the PDK gearbox, the 4S comes in at 3,687 lbs. The GTS weighs 3,653 lbs with the manual gearbox and 3,737 lbs with the PDK.

Porsche prides itself on its ability to completely customize each and every one of its cars to suit the customer's needs perfectly, and this is especially true when it comes to exterior colors. The 2022 Porsche 911 Targa 4 can be painted in any color under the sun but comes with nearly 20 standard colors to choose from. The four no-cost options on offer are White, Black, Guards Red, and Racing Yellow. Metallic colors cost $840 and include Carrara White, Jet Black, Gentian Blue, Agate Grey, GT Silver, Aventurine Green, and Dolomite Silver. The $3,270 special color options include Carmine Red, Lava Orange, Chalk, Python Green, and Shark Blue.
New special edition 50 Years Porsche Design models come only in black exterior paint. The Targa's roof can also be finished in a choice of colors, those being Black, Brown, Red, and Blue. We drove a GTS model painted in Chalk, a subtle but unique hue. If none of these options work for you, a custom color will set you back $11,430.
