The first production-built safety cabriolet was created in response to tougher legislation in the USA. In the mid-1960s Porsche’s engineers came up with a 911 version that was a halfway house between a cabriolet and a coupé. The Targa principle was born. This Targa version with sturdy, detachable roof section soon acquired its very own customer base. The uprated S type (S for sport) was likewise available with the characteristic roll-over bar.
