911 Carrera is a Coupe.
911 Targa is a Carrera with a glass roof that you can look through.
They have the same engine and performance.
The Targa was introduced in the mid 1960s, shortly after the 911 Coupe. The original Targa was essentially the convertible version of the 911, featuring a removing roof (what has since become known on all cars as a Targa top), and a fold down plastic rear window. A roll bar remained (due to structural requirements, the Targa design worked better than a straight out convertible). A few years later the Targa replaced the fold down plastic window with a fixed glass window, making it less a convertible and more of what most people recognize as a “Targa” (Source, Internet)
Ive see some very nice TARGAS in the Los Angeles are. I would definitely get one though, LOL.

Hi Byronbowerslive,
Maybe a little off topic, however, Hi,
What is the difference between a Porsche Targa and a Porsche Carrera ? I know that the Carrera is more powerful but are there any other differences ?
Thank You,
Marco
All the Best
