New Porsche 911 Targa 4, Targa 4S Let Loose On Unsuspecting Internet

Porsche just released a set of three shots of their newest glass-roofed versions of the new 911, the 2009 Porsche 911 Targa 4 and the speedier 2009 Porsche 911 Targa 4S. Although we'd already spotted the new 911 Targas earlier this month, we're happy to hear the Targa 4 will get the new 345 HP 3.6-liter flat-six and the Targa 4S will get the beefier 385 HP 3.8-liter engine. The plain-jane 4 will hit a maximum speed of 176 MPH, while the 4S will hit 184 MPH on the track. The centerpiece to both is the continuation of the direct-injection technology we saw on the new 911 Carrera and Carrera 4. Both Targas will also receive the Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. You know it better as a double-clutch gearbox. Both technologies will help increase fuel efficiency with the DI tech helping to increase engine power and the new gearbox helping to make it easier to get that engine working the right way to help get to all that power quicker.
