2026 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS: New York City Buyers Guide

Quick Answer: 2026 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS

The 2026 911 Targa 4 GTS starts at $203,300, the most expensive way to get the Targa's retractable-roof body style, and it pairs that roof with the GTS family's new 532-hp, 449-lb-ft T-Hybrid flat-six — a self-charging performance hybrid with no plug and no external charging. All-wheel drive is standard, as it is on every Targa. Porsche quotes 0-60 mph at roughly 3.0 seconds with Sport Chrono fitted and a top speed near 194 mph, consistent with the rest of the GTS family (confirm the exact figure on the configurator before quoting a customer). Price excludes Porsche's $2,350 delivery, processing and handling fee. Manhattan Motorcars Porsche carries the Targa 4 GTS from inventory and by factory order.

The top of the Targa range, and why it costs what it costs

The Targa 4 GTS sits at the intersection of this lineup's two most distinctive engineering stories: the retractable-roof Targa body that's defined the nameplate since the 1960s, and the new T-Hybrid flat-six that headlines the entire 2026 GTS family. That combination puts it at $203,300, the highest starting price of any Targa and within range of the track-focused GT3. What that money buys is 532 combined horsepower and 449 lb-ft from a turbocharged 3.6-liter flat-six with an electric motor built into the PDK gearbox itself — no plug, no charge port, no external charging, ever. Porsche's own GTS-family figures put Sport Chrono-equipped acceleration around 3.0 seconds to 60 mph and a top speed near 194 mph, consistent with the Carrera GTS siblings, though a buyer should confirm the exact configurator numbers for this specific body style before treating them as final.

All-wheel drive comes standard, as it does on every Targa Porsche builds; there's no rear-drive option to weigh here the way there is on the Carrera GTS versus Carrera 4 GTS. The decision this trim asks a buyer to make isn't about drivetrain — it's whether the open-roof Targa body is worth the premium over the mechanically related, and less expensive, Carrera 4 GTS coupe.

Targa 4 GTS versus Carrera 4 GTS: the same engine, a different car

Strip away the roof and these two share the identical 532-hp T-Hybrid powertrain and all-wheel-drive system. What separates them is $13,700 in starting price and a fundamentally different top-down experience — the Targa's fixed roll bar and 19-second retractable fabric section versus the coupe's fixed glass roof. For a buyer who's already decided they want this generation's newest engine and don't care about open-air motoring, the Carrera 4 GTS is the more direct, less expensive path to the same powertrain. For a buyer who specifically wants both the new engine and the wind-in-your-hair Targa experience, this is the only trim that offers both at once.

Ownership at the top of the Targa range

Manhattan Motorcars Porsche's service floor treats every 911 the same regardless of MSRP, and the store's review history backs that up with owners of high-spec cars praising the same aftersales team as base-Carrera buyers. Reviewer Norman R. wrote about bringing in a well-used 911 for a full refresh: "I gave them a beat up 911 and they returned it to me like the day I bought it!!" — the kind of turnaround a Targa 4 GTS owner would expect from the same shop before a season of top-down driving.

The bottom line

The Targa 4 GTS is the priciest way into the Targa body style and the only one built on the 2026 lineup's newest engine, a combination that makes sense specifically for a buyer who wants both the open-roof experience and the T-Hybrid powertrain in the same car. Everyone else gets the same engine for less in the Carrera 4 GTS, or the same roof for less in the Targa 4S.
