Porsche Launches New Model With Sliding Roof

ATLANTA, March 8 -- Just in time for Spring, the Porsche 911 Targa is back from a five-year hiatus and has brought with it a whole new collection of Targa merchandise and memorabilia.

The new Targa merchandise can be purchased from the Porsche Selection Spring Catalog which can be ordered by calling at 1-800-PORSCHE.

Selection items include everything from model cars to sports equipment. There are items for everyone in the family.

Sports equipment ranges from golf clubs to sportswear to sunglasses. There are even lifestyle products for children including ``Ferdi, the Motorsport Bear'' and pedal-powered Porsches.

The new Targa Selection also includes items for the utmost Porsche enthusiasts, such as model cars, posters, wall plates, T-Shirts and a 3-D Targa pin.

The Porsche 911 Targa and the new Selection items were named for the Targa Florio, an immensely challenging road race in which weather conditions could change dramatically. Even over the course of a single lap, it could be bright and sunny in the valleys while cold and raining in the mountains. The new Porsche 911 Targa was designed to accommodate a wide range of weather conditions.

The legend continues with Porsche's collection of authentic Targa merchandise, celebrating the Porsche 911 Targa and its namesake race.
