Cool 991 Targa spotted testing...

...and it looks like the original design could be returning.

That would be fantastic. The 'big sunroof' idea never really worked for me.

Wonder if the black roll bar will be standard with all cars or if it will change
with body color?

It looks like a canvas top with a roll bar and it almost looks like a Photoshop.
Hopefully they make a couple changes. Like no canvas and just like it was back in the day.

silly to me.

stop car, get out, open clips, lift out targa top, store targa top, put down rear... if you miss the 70's that much, you might as well get 't-tops'

Compared to the stupidly complex automated convertible tops, a simple targa panel is a work of art. Also a quieter cabin due to wind blocking.

One of the aspects of my former 328 that I liked most.

For today's push button crowd that will be too much work. They'll have to automate things a bit.

I think it will look fantastic in person, especially with the right colors.

I also saw some renderings of the Cayman with a traditional Targa top. It would be GREAT if they went back to that!
