Top Gear presenter Chris Harris has been spotted driving through mid Wales today (Thursday, April 1). The host of the popular BBC motoring show is rumoured to be getting up to more adrenaline-pumping adventures behind the wheel in the area. He was spotted testing out a Porsche 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition in Builth Wells and Llanidloes on Thursday morning. The £109,725 sports car can do 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds, and a top speed of 189mph. Harris bumped into fans of the show when he stopped off at Llanidloes Co-op supermarket and for a coffee at the Texaco petrol station in Victoria Avenue.
Verdict
The Targa is undoubtedly more lifestyle-focused than other 911s, and it pays a small price in weight as a result, but this is still a formidable performance car that can also be a long-distance GT and a stylish open-top cruiser. Putting the premium you’ll pay for the Heritage Design Edition to one side, that makes this an accomplished all-rounder with remarkably few major flaws.
We were pretty taken with the latest generation of Porsche 911 Targa when we tried it in left-hand-drive form last summer. Now we’ve been able to get behind the wheel of a right-hooker on UK roads - and a Heritage Design Edition to boot.

It was just last summer that Porsche completed a sports car trio; following the initial introductions of the Coupé and Cabriolet it was probably the best time to reveal the 992 iteration of the renowned 911 Targa. So far, we have seen it derived in Targa 4 and 4S versions, as well as a Heritage Design Edition. 19 photos
Of course, people who want the real deal – not just a vintage two-in-one LEGO 911 Turbo/Targa set that’s going for $150 – will have to pay a very large bill. At home in Germany, the company is asking no less than €128,486 for the base Targa 4; level up to the 4S and it’s a €143,956 affair.
