True targa for Porsche 911 available from aftermarket

Everyone knows the Porsche-Targa’s form the sixties and seventies. A well known detachable roof and a roll-bar. The Targa roof has totally faded from the Porsche program, and al lot of people think this is a shame.A company from California, called Velotech, agreed with this and now offers a roof similar to the original ones, for $ 10,000.

The Targa model these days consists from two glass panels that can move. Actually it is like a big glass sliding roof, like you would also find in some midd-class cars and MPV’s. This is not completely correct, as the quality from the 911 targa-roof is still a bit better than the version from, for instance a Peugeot 308 SW. Though you understand the intention. The targa-roof of these days is not really distinctively Porsche anymore. This may also explain the poor popularity of the Targa. The classics were sold way better in proportion to the 997 Targa.

So now Velotech offers a made to measure solution for the 911 owners who always wanted a classic targa roof for their 997. Pay $ 10.000, deliver your 911 and you’ll get it back with a beautiful authentic targa-roof. The roof itself is made from carbonfibre, so it doesn’t give many extra weight. The price could drop to around $ 6.000 if enough people are interested in buying one.

We are very enthousiastic about the result, because it really looks like the old roofs. On top of that you have something unique, cause your neighbour won’t likely have exactly the same roof. This really makes your average 911 a little more exclusive.
