PORSCHE has been involved in Targa Florio events since the 1960s and has won several championships. The name Targa began to be used on the 911 model in 1965. At that time, the safety of the US government's convertible put forward high standards, requiring that the convertible must have a roll cage to avoid lethality damage to the passengers in the car when it is overturned.
