The Best Porsches of the L.A. Auto Show

You can’t have a proper auto show if you don’t have Porsche. For the 2015 L.A. Auto Show, the mark brought out two world premieres in their booth: a new Targa and a new racecar for gentleman drivers. We get a quick glance at both.

First, it should come as no surprise that there would be a new version of the popular 911 Targa. However, this version is the all-wheel driver Targa 4 S: a turbocharged version of the VarioCam Plus 3.0-liter flat-six. It produces 420-horsepower and 370-lb/ft of torque driven to all four wheels. A seven-speed PDK is optional, but it will come with a seven-speed manual.

Also making its world debut was the Cayman GT4 Clubsport. This special order racecar from Porsche comes with a 3.8-liter flat-six pushing out 385-horsepower to its rear wheels and comes with everything you need to get racing from the welded-in rollcage to the seat. To make driving easier, the Cayman GT4 is equipped with the PDK with paddle shifters right at the steering wheel. There was no word on pricing, but it is expected to be homologated for the Pirelli World Challenge, the Continental Tires Sports Car Challenge, Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy in the US, and Porsche Club of America.
