The Porsche 911 S Soft Window Targa was a true example of innovation for the German manufacturer. The “Super,” introduced to the 911 that year, brought with it an impressive 160 bhp over the standard 911’s 130-bhp engine. Accompanied by upgraded suspension, including Koni shock absorbers and ventilated brake discs, the 911 S was an overall much better performer. All of this weighed in less than the 911 at a featherweight 2,272 pounds.
Another unprecedented addition was the availability of the soft window Targa top, which benefited from a foldaway back window and a removable roof section. Some of the 1967 models were already optioned with the later standard equipment hard windows, which means less than the 483 911 S Targa manufactured in 1967 actually had the original soft window top. The first year for the soft window Targa, coupled with introduction of the “Super”, makes a 1967 911 S Targa one of the rarest and most desirable Porsche 911s ever produced.
