The Porsche 911 Targa 4S for 2008
There have been several award-winning cars from Porsche over the years, including the Porsche 911 of 2008. There are ten trim levels to the 911, including Carrera 4, Turbo, GT2, GT3 RS, Carrera 4S, Carrera S, Targa 4, and Targa 4S. The Targa 4S version is one of the more popular options, outselling other configurations. Like in 2007 the popular 3.8 liter has made this a popular choice for coupe buyers across the country.
Under the Hood
The restyled 911 Targa 4S is equipped with a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The engine is mated to a N/A six-speed transaxle. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 2007 version.
The 911 uses power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the 911 Targa 4S are 71.20 inches wide by 175.60 inches long. It sits 51.20 inches off the ground. It seats a standard four passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 92.50 allows for extra leg room for the rear passengers.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $83,800 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-low price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2008 911 is a Bosch ME-7.8 design, using gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is controlled by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The fuel capacity of the fuel tank is 16.90 gallons.
The 911 Targa 4S received a miles-per-gallon rating of seventeen in-city driving and 24 - 25 when it came to highway driving. Being a gas-powered non-hybrid car, this was exceptional.
We Think...
The 2008 model year was telling year for the Porsche 911. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Targa 4S version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
