1. Porsche debuts 2021 911 Targa 4, 4S

PCA—It’s hard to believe the 992-generation 911 Carrera S/4S debuted more than a year ago, but since then Porsche has rolled out a manual-transmission option for the S models, introduced the regular Carrera, and now launched the 911 Targa 4 and Targa 4S. The semi-convertible-top Targa 4S splits the Carrera coupes and drop-top Cabriolets.

2. Video: Karma Carrera

PCA via YouTube—Singer, songwriter, and guitarist John Oates is a car aficionado just like us. In fact, he tends to gravitate to Porsches, having owned many over the years. In our latest video, John and his wife Aimee tell the story of their 1984 911 “Karma Carrera” and the importance of giving back.

3. The mythical shades — six Porsche colors that you've probably never seen

PCA—We all know that Porsche colors tend to cluster around reds, blacks, silvers, grays and whites. Dealers knew what sold, and that’s what they ordered.

4. PCA Spotlight: Replacing Porsche 996/986 cowl trim and hood struts

PCA—Right now is a great time to take care of small DIY Porsche projects, and they couldn't get much easier than replacing the cowl trim and hood struts on a 986-generation Boxster and 996-generation 911.

5. Porsche's Atlanta Experience Center reopens — find out what's changed as we compare Taycan Turbo, 911 Turbo

PCA—It’s May 19. I’ve just been told to turn left into the parking garage which sits below the headquarters of Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) and the Porsche Experience Center (PEC) in Atlanta, Georgia. In doing so, my wife Linda and I have our temperatures taken via forehead thermometer and are given masks. Failing this test would have had us immediately exiting the premises and that would have been that. Such is the new life we live while dealing with the covid-19 pandemic.
