The latest generation of the extravagant 911 model combines the classic Targa concept with innovative roof techno - logy. The design featuring the fixed Targa bar in place of the B-pillar and wraparound rear window, plus the fully automatic transition from the closed to open Targa roof and vice versa are nothing less than spectacular. The vehicle also offers the outstanding driving dynamics of the all-wheel drive 911 with active Porsche Traction Management (PTM). Both versions of the new Targa generation are based on the current model range of the 911 Carrera family. The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.4-litre flat engine offering an output of 350 hp (257 kW); the S model features a 3.8-litre flat engine with an out-put of 400 hp (294 kW). Depending on the model and the equipment options chosen, the vehicle can acce- lerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.4 to 5.2 seconds, while its fuel consumption ranges bet ween 10.0 and 8.7 litres/100 km (237 to 204 g/km CO2). An exclusive special series with popular equipment options: The Cayenne Platinum Edition A unique design and sophisticated equipment are also a key feature of the second world premiere to be revealed by Porsche in Detroit: the Cayenne Platinum Edition. The special series exclusively comprises the conventional Cayenne models with six-cylinder engines and is distinguished by numerous detailed paint finishes in Platinum Silver Metallic. An elegant ambience is created in the interior with two-tone fittings. The Platinum Edition models fea - ture many of the most sought-after Cayenne special equipment options as standard, such as the eight-gear Tiptronic S, Bi-Xenon main headlights and Power Steering Plus. The new frontrunner in the compact SUV segment: The Porsche Macan offering up to 400 hp The Macan is celebrating its debut on the east coast of the USA at Lake Michigan. With the Macan, the Porsche brand is expanding its range of models to include the compact Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) segment, and is claiming the top spot in this segment from the outset. The Macan equipped with a 3-litre V6 biturbo engine and delivering an output of 340 hp Detroit Auto Show 2014 2 (250 kW), as well as the top model in the range, the Macan Turbo, equipped with a 3.6-litre V6 biturbo engine and delivering an output of 400 hp (294 kW) are defining a new per - formance class that competitor vehicles are yet to reach. The role of the high-torque power - house of the SUV trio has been assumed by the Macan Diesel thanks to its 258 hp (190 kW) turbo diesel engine, which delivers a broad engine speed range with a torque of 580 Nm. The Macan is not just setting the benchmark for driving dynamics – the vehicle also delivers the combination of efficiency, comfort and everyday suitability that has become a defining feature of the Porsche brand. The design of the new Porsche model line is based on Porsche sportscars and demonstrates the outstanding sportiness of the vehicle through the wide, flat body and Coupé-like roof contour. A unique combination of performance and efficiency: the 918 Spyder The 918 Spyder is also set to be one of the main attractions in Detroit. The super sports - car with plug-in hybrid drive marks the beginning of a new era for sportscar manufacturing. Never before has a super sportscar designed for everyday use offered such an impressive dynamic performance combined with the fuel consumption of a compact car. The 918 Spyder is the continuation of the traditional Porsche DNA in a ground-breaking sportscar concept. Designed from the start to be a high-performance hybrid, the 918 Spyder boasts an unpre - cedented combination of performance (offering the 887 hp output of a super sportscar) and the virtually silent, emission-free locomotion of an electric vehicle. Porsche's largest individual market: Growth of the US market continues un-checked The explosion of innovations at the end of 2013 and start of 2014 demonstrates the inno - vative power of the Porsche brand, which attracts more and more customers every year. By November 2013, Porsche had already delivered more vehicles than in the whole of 2012, achieving a new record result for the company. Porsche has seen strong levels of growth in the USA again in particular: The United States still represents the largest individual market for Porsche vehicles and the largest market for the 911. Detroit Auto Show 2014 • The new Porsche 911 Targa 3 The new Porsche 911 Targa Featuring the innovative Targa roof: The world premiere of a modern classic At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Porsche is presenting the latest generation of the extravagant 911 model. This model is the first to combine the classic Targa concept with state-of-the-art roof technology. Just like the legen dary original Targa model, the new model features the characteristic wide bar in place of the B-pillars, a movable roof section above the front seats and a wraparound rear window with no C-pillar. But unlike the classic models, the roof segment on the new Targa can be opened and closed at the push of a button. When the button is actuated, the fully automatic roof system stows the convertible top behind the rear seat system, providing a real spectacle. The rear-weighted design of the PTM all-wheel drive is a typical Porsche feature, and guaran tees that this latest 911 model also offers optimum driving dynamics on all road surfaces and in all weather conditions. With these features, the new 911 Targa is presenting itself as a high-quality, innovative re - make of the classic vehicle from 1965. The model shares a great deal in common with the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet models; up to the window line, the technology and body of the ve - hicles is more or less the same. The combination of the wide rear end that is typical of all- wheel drive models, the Targa bar and the dome-shaped rear window gives the latest 911 an extremely sporty appearance and a low-slung profile. Two model variants, exclusively with all-wheel drive As with the predecessor model, the new Targa generation comes in two versions available exclusively with all-wheel drive. The 911 Targa 4 is powered by a 3.4-litre, 350 hp (257 kW) flat engine. Equipped with the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Sport Chrono package, this model accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds and boasts a top speed of 282 km/h. Its NEDC fuel consumption figures are between 9.5 and 8.7 litres/100 km, depending on transmission, which corresponds to a CO2 emissions level of between 223 and 204 g/km. The top model is the 911 Targa 4S, which delivers 400 hp (294 kW) from Detroit Auto Show 2014 • The new Porsche 911 Targa 4 a displacement of 3.8 litres. This model reaches a top speed of 296 km/h and, with the PDK and Sport Chrono package fitted, accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 4.4 seconds. Its fuel consumption fluctuates between 10.0 and 9.2 litres per 100 km, depending on transmission, which corresponds to a CO2 level of between 237 and 214 g/km. With these figures, the model is on a par with the high standard set by the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet models in terms of engine and road performance, as well as efficiency. Both sportscars are certified for compliance with the Euro 6 emissions standard. New and spectacular: The fully automatic Targa roof The Targa roof system has always been an unmistakeable hallmark of the extravagant 911 model. The new 911 Targa continues this tradition with an innovative roof concept. The roof is made up of two movable parts: a soft top and a glass rear window. The rear window, which is attached to the convertible top compartment lid, is opened and tilted at the push of a button. At the same time, two flaps open in the Targa bar, releasing the soft top’s kine - matics. The convertible top is released, folded into a Z-shape as the roof opens and stowed away behind the rear seats. A cross-wise-running trim behind the rear seats accommodates the convertible top. Once the top has been stowed, the flaps in the bar and the rear window close once again. The roof takes around 19 seconds to open or close using the buttons in the centre console while the vehicle is stationary. A wind deflector integrated in the cowl panel frame can be erected manually when the top is down.
