The 1989 Porsche Turbo Targa – An Artefact for Sports Car Enthusiasts

The 1989 Porsche Turbo Targa needs little introduction. The 911 series released by Porsche has been famous for almost 5 decades, making it one of the most successful sports cars ever. Every single generation of 911’s provided good performances combined with the specific, trademark design, all these at a lower price than its Italian counterparts, Ferrari and Lamborghini.

The 1989 Porsche Turbo Targa’s name already suggests some of its traits: a turbocharged engine and the removable hard-top (hence the name of Targa). The series has rear-wheel traction for faster acceleration, with the centre of weight being also to the rear, due to the engine’s positioning.

The 3.3 litre engine delivers 282 hp with a maximum torque of 288 lb-ft – giving clear proof of why the 1989 Porsche Turbo Targa was the top car of the 911 series at that time. Being able to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and reaching a maximum speed of 170 miles per hour, this beauty is more than enough for most of the race car enthusiast. And if you aren’t convinced, the impeccable engineering makes this car hug the road like no other, being easy to control even at 170 mph. And considering the unique 911 design, you can see why the car has become a classic!

Naturally, this car ought to be treated with respect, and it’s a healthy piece of advice to attend some race driving courses before buying it. The rear-wheel traction system can be a little tricky for inexperienced drivers, but one has to keep in mind that a Porsche Turbo is not a family car.

The open cockpit is meant for those of you who love to bask in the sun while driving. The top is easy to take off or put on manually, and the owner is spared of the complications of a soft top. The heater and the defroster work well, so you won’t have to worry about bad weather. Handling is smooth even at high speeds, and the break system is very safe.

Remember that, as a super-car, the Porsche Targa involves rather high maintenance costs, but be sure that its quality entirely justifies them. The one here has a very low mileage, of only 31,000 miles; it’s as good as new and comes in Guards Red.

A head turner at any rate, this 1989 used Porsche 911 Turbo for sale will certainly justify that old saying: “Porsche. There is no substitute.”
