Super car spotter turned motoring journalist, Marchettino, brings you a comprehensive and thorough review of a very unique 911: the 2015 Porsche 991 Targa 4S. The car is unique because of its retro-modern roof arrangement, the fact that it comes only as a four-wheel-drive, and, in the case of this particular one, the magnificent royal blue paint job.
In this video Marchi takes the Porsche 991 Targa 4S up to the French Coast to work out if this sports car is any good at being a daily driver and a long distance cruiser.
