The new Porsche 911 Targa will go on sale in the UK in May, with prices starting from £86,281. Coming with either a 345bhp 3.4-litre engine in the Targa 4, or the more powerful 395bhp 3.8-litre unit in the 4S, the top-spec 911 Targa can sprint to 62mph in 4.4 seconds, has a top speed of 184mph and can return 30.7mpg on a combined cycle. Porsche says it wants to evoke the styling and memory of the 1967 original with the new Targa, but has it done enough to succeed?
