What is a targa top?

A targa top is a type of roof that is commonly used in sports cars. It is a removable panel that covers the passenger compartment of the car. The term "targa" comes from the Targa Florio road race in Sicily, where Porsche won the trophy several times.

A targa roof is typically designed to be easily removed, giving the car an open-air feel. Depending on the make and model of the car, the targa top may be removable manually or electronically. The roof panel may or may not include a rear window.

Targa tops are often used in sports cars and convertibles because they provide an open-air experience without the risk of rain or other adverse weather conditions. They also allow for easier stowage of the roof when it is not in use. Additionally, targa tops can provide a unique and stylish look to a car.

Some examples of cars with targa tops include the Porsche 911 Targa, the Chevrolet Corvette Coupe, and the Toyota MR2 Spyder.
