Restored Porsche 964 Targa, dubbed as "Backdate," represents the ultimate 911 Restomod fantasies
The "Targa R" project from Porsche Zentrum Moers is an exclusive offering that transforms a 1991 964 Targa into a graphite grey beauty with vintage ST aesthetics. This unique restomod is currently available at Porsche Zentrum Moers in Germany.
The interior of the car boasts a combination of period-correct Pepita fabric and fine leather, providing a comfortable and authentic driving experience. Under the hood, the original 3.6-liter flat-six boxer engine has been fully reconditioned for improved performance, while maintaining its authentic character. The car comes equipped with a manual transmission, ensuring a truly engaging driving experience.
The Targa R features modern upgrades such as a KW coilover suspension system, LED headlights, and a GT3-style exhaust system with valve control. Recaro seats offer better support than the original chairs, enhancing comfort during long drives. The car also benefits from F-model-inspired indicators and taillights, adding to its vintage charm.
The Targa R's rarity, technical modernization, craftsmanship, and connection to Porsche heritage make it a highly desirable vehicle among collectors and enthusiasts. Given the price ranges and factors demonstrated by other exclusive Porsche restomods and related models, the Targa R likely carries a multi-hundred-thousand-dollar to potentially over a million-dollar price tag.
With a mileage of 1,728 kilometres (approximately 1,074 miles), the car qualifies for Germany's coveted H-plate (historic vehicle) registration. The Targa R's exterior is finished in Graphite Grey (Code 7B2), giving it a wider, more muscular appearance reminiscent of the ST while maintaining proper fitment and longevity.
While specific pricing details for the Targa R are not directly available, interested parties are invited to inquire at Porsche Zentrum Moers. The car's special features, rarity, and connection to Porsche heritage make it a worthwhile investment for any classic Porsche enthusiast.
This unique restomod, the Targa R, offers not only an improved performance with the reconditioned engine, but also a blend of vintage and modern aesthetics, showcasing finely crafted Recaro seats and F-model-inspired indicators and taillights. As it boasts a combination of style (vintage ST aesthetics) and technology (KW coilover suspension system, LED headlights, GT3-style exhaust system), it could be an intriguing addition to one's lifestyle (lifestyle of a classic Porsche enthusiast). Given its rarity and potential price range, this vehicle could also be a significant investment in education-and-self-development (learning about sports cars) or even sports (participating in classic sports car events).
