The range-topping version of the latest 911 Targa, this 2023 Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS comes finished in Racing Yellow over a Black leather interior with Carmine Red accents. At an original sticker price of over $202k, it was optioned with an 8-speed PDK transmission, Rear Axle Steering, the Front Axle Lift System, the Exterior Package in High Gloss Black, interior trim inlays and illuminated door sills in matte carbon fiber, 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Premium Package with Remote ParkAssist, and Burmester High-End Surround Sound System. Showing just over 4k miles on the odometer, this Targa 4 GTS is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Florida while remaining under the coverage of its original factory warranty.
The GTS model comes standard with the SportDesign Package which adds more aggressive front and rear fascias with an extended front lip spoiler and a rear diffuser. It also features red brake calipers, the Sport Exhaust System with black tailpipes, black “GTS” designations on the doors, and 20”/21” 911 Turbo S center-lock wheels. This example comes finished in Racing Yellow with the optional Exterior Package in High Gloss Black, LED-Matrix Design headlights in Black, illuminated lateral gills on the taillights, and a retractable Targa roof in black. Additional images are provided in the gallery along with a clean CARFAX report.
This Targa is optioned with the GTS Interior Package in Carmine Red which provides Black leather and Race-Tex upholstery featuring deviated Carmine Red stitching along with a matching central tachometer, seatbelts, and embordered GTS headrest logos. Other options include a heated GT Sport steering wheel in leather, interior trim inlays and illuminated door sill guards in matte carbon fiber, a Porsche Design subsecond clock, pedals and footrest in aluminum, under-door puddle light projectors, a PDK gear selector in aluminum, and 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Polus with Memory Package. The car also features the optional Front Axle Lift System, Power Steering Plus, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), and Premium Package including power-folding mirrors, Ambient Lighting, Burmester High-End Surround Sound System, Remote ParkAssist, Lane Change Assist (LCA), and 3D Surround View.
A twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine delivers up to 473 HP and 420 lb.-ft of torque to all four wheels through an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission. Equipped with the Sport Chrono Package as standard, the Targa 4 GTS can accelerate from 0-60 MPH in as little as 3.3 seconds. This example was also optioned with Rear Axle Steering which provides increased agility. The balance of the original factory warranty remains in effect.
This sale will include owner’s manuals and a clean title (lien).

The way this went down is baffling.
When Terrell bid $200,000 the seller said the reserve was met.
That post by the seller has now been deleted.
Then Wgordon888 was the first to increase the bid to $200,250.
Then Safety Harbor, FL bid the same amount and it states the deal tanked but his offer of the same $200,250 was accepted.
It would be helpful if you explained how this deal went down because something is off.

GOing GOing...
@JET It too TWO YEAR to get the car. I ordered in 2021 as a 2022, but it took so long it ended up being a 2023. Took a Looooong time to get her!
@CJWRacing33 it is a 2023
@Terrell there is literally a window sticker showing it as a 2023
Please answer questions about the year of car
I'm just curious. The order prices out a 2022 car and you are listing it as a 2023???
The RESERVE IS OFF everyone. I guess she's not mine anymore. I'm here for any other questions. Just take care of my BABY! Whomever wins.
@Terrell Good catch btw! Now everyone knows my nick name... :-)
@Terrell Because I got my vanity plate later... :-) The pictures I just added were older when I first got it and had that boring plate, as you know in FLORIDA it takes about a month for the vanity plate to arrive. When it did, I put it on. My "nickname" is "big B" since I'm 6'3 and about 245.... So.... since she was black and yellow, like a bumble bee, I chose the "Big BEE" plate... :-)
A few people have asked why the listing shows "dealer" just so everyone is aware this is from private stable, but I do have a company. Mostly to support my car buying habit from a tax perspective. a "hobby with benefits" as it were. My side gig is mostly 60s and 70s era muscle cars that I buy and tweak and sell, one or two at a time. That said this car is in my name, is from my personal stable and so this is not a company sale. I chose it, I ordered it, I waited 2 years it, and now I am selling it, unfortunately. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.
Why do you have two different license plates shown on your photos?

Just for fun posted her next to my gorgeous '23 Taycan Turbo S, and a rare family photo with some of my stable.... Did a photo shoot for a local car collectors club who featured me and these 2 Porsches, my '65 vette, my 2023 Braptor, the obligatory i4, and 2 of my motorcycles.... The shot at the dealership is my amazing sales guy who has been feeding my Porsche habit for years.... :-)

@rocketman you are welcome to inspect the car - what you will find is that it is pristine. Happy to have you speak with the people at Hagerty garage and Social where it spends most of its time (next to some of the most amazing cars on the planet). Its brand new, barely enough miles to have the brakes seasoned (which they are), and babied. its there now actually, under the watchful eye of their amazing team. its perfect in every way. No scratches, no signs of wear, and a show stopper with the build I ordered. I get stopped constantly when driving it (which is mostly to weekend car shows and Porsche events). I usually had my 2023 Taycan Turbo S on hand for these events, and this one still gets all of the attention. At the last event, we had an impromptu photo shoot with some models who were shooting at the show for an upcoming commercial (just for fun I put a few of those photos in here).
Would love the opportunity to inspect the car in person but unfortunately I'm not flying into the area until tomorrow.
@BarryLe I totally get it! I have multiple Porsches also, and I know this is something that is worth considering in the future. For the record, I love the PDK cars, and thought this one was a keeper, but the next time, its worth considering it! Thanks for the compliments though. Yes, this is a gorgeous car, and deserves to go to a home that will truly appreciate her. Shes a badass.
@tspeedster SO GLAD YOU ASKED - YES it has been ceramic coated, and additionally I have had it hand washed from day one by the guy who did the ceramic coating, and he has only used product specifically designed for cars that have been coated. It hs also be garage kept in a temperature controlled (i.e. air conditioned) environment, covered in a custom Porsche cover, that comes with the vehicle. And yes it is Porsche branded.
@pdx991 Im very sad about this... Shes is my baby and I waited forever for her. The truth is that I'm going through a divorce and so here we are.
The car is a beautiful spec. Why are you selling so soon?
@briandowens61. Has there been any PPF or ceramic coating done? If so, what areas and type. Thanks
Briandowens61: You are absolutely correct about the GTS model. I own a 2019 991.2 Carrera GTS Cab but with a manual transmission. I live in Boca Raton during season and I would be bidding to win this Targa if it had the 7 speed manual. I own a number of 911’s, none of them are PDK cars. There is a reason for that.
Road and Track also posted an article last year for the 2022 model (same specs, mine is a 2023) - article even features the TARGA 4 GTS (again, line mine)! Anyway, article entitled, "The 2022 Porsche 911 GTS Still Hits the Sports Car Sweet Spot
It’s not cheap, but the 911 GTS is a performance value proposition." My favorite quote, "Because all Porsche GTS models hold their value quite well, you can likely get your additional upfront cost back on the other end. And unlike the supply-limited GT3, you can actually go to a Porsche dealer and buy a GTS, starting early next year." I wanted the GTS, but as the article states, it was impossible. This one took 2+ years to get once ordered. See the entire article here, https://www.roadandtrack.com/reviews/a37681944/2022-porsche-911-gts-review/
Food for thought, in August, 4 WHEEL TRADER posted the following article," Why the 911 GTS is the BEST value for money 911 you can buy | Depreciation and Buying guide"
Aug 22 - Written By Fourwheel Trader - "The Porsche 911 GTS aims to bridge the gap between the GT cars and the normal 911. If you read some reviews of the car, then you will also find that it succeeds quite well in this. It offers an excellent mix between sportiness and daily usability. It is, however, not only the driving characteristics which offer the best of both worlds. Also value wise this might be the best 911 to buy. " See the entire article here, https://www.buyanexotic.co/buyersblog/fourwheeltrader/911gts#:~:text=However%2C%20when%20we%20follow%20the,S%20and%20the%20base%20version.
Another buyer benefit... I also have a bicycle painted the same color, with black pin striping (SEE PHOTO UPLOADED)... because, why not! I had my name put on it in the Porsche Font. If we hit reserve, happy to include as "gift with purchase" as long as you take care of shipping. I'll even have your first name generated in the same porsche font and send when received.... They were in the garage together, so it seemed appropriate...!

As an added bonus, I have two keys, of course, and one was painted by Porsche to match the color of the car. So one key is yellow, the other is black.
I have also uploaded the full build sheet with all specs from the original order.

@tspeedster Just uploaded the window sticker.
@tspeedster There is a small lien on the title. Funds will need to be wired, bill of sale will be presented upon receipt, proof of zero balance will be provided, and the title will be received within 7-10 days (which is a FL thing, not a Porsche thing).
@Nhock2 I do hope you bid as this one is really special. I know what's its worth, its a rare car, and hope someone out there who wants and knows how special she is, will join the disucssion.
Bid in the amount of $1,054
Could seller please give the status of the title? Does it have a lien n it now or has it been cleared and is a clean, transferable title? If it still has a lien on it are the proceeds of the sale going to pay it off? If so should funds be wired direct to the bank or financial institution that has the lien? Some clarity please.
I surely do want to place a bid on this beauty. I’ll stand by and see where this goes. I’m guessing it is going well beyond my budget.
Sorry. Didn’t see the window sticker in pics.
Does the title have a lien on it now or is it clear? Ventilated seats? Window sticker? Thanks
