1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Targa

The G-Series 911 brought iterative refinement to Porsche’s definitive German sports coupe. Running from the early 1970s to 1989, the era of production was characterized by incremental modernization of the rear-drive Carrera’s mainstay ingredients of flat-six power and build quality at a high bar. From impact bumpers to wraparound rear taillights, the 911 gained staple aesthetics alongside technical improvements in leaps and bounds. Displacement grew by nearly a liter over the previous generation, with 3.2L motivation available beginning in 1984.

Combined with the manufacturer’s semi-convertible recipe for unrivaled 4-season versatility, Carrera Targa variants of the 1980’s came into their own. Body color trim and black roll-bar canopy accents met Bosch fuel injection, Fuchs wheels, and ample sports-purpose optioning to offer a coveted blend of style and speed. Dependable reliability and everyday comfort elevated the platform as a clear choice among its contemporaries.
