This tastefully updated and unpretentious mid-engine Porsche features on-rails handling, updated suspension and shifter, a head-turning orange finish, and an impeccably detailed interior. Equally at home cruising the highway or carving with confidence, this classic targa offers driving enthusiasts a taut and sporty feel and, with a smartphone paired to the vintage Blaupunkt deck, a statistically higher probability of smiles per mile.
