Overview of the Porsche 911 Targa 4
This Porsche 911 Targa 4 is a January 2024 car from the updated 992 generation, chassis code 7BA-992NC2, finished in Jet Black Metallic (colour code C9X). It will be offered at USS Tokyo as lot 75187 on 15 October 2026 in the Imported Car Prime Corner. The odometer reads just 4,568 km, approximately 2,838 miles, and the car carries auction grade 5 with interior grade A.
The sheet records a dealer import that was bought in from a private owner and is being offered at auction for the first time. The new car service book with warranty booklet is present, shaken runs to 18 January 2027, and the inspector found only small scratches. With a long list of factory options, including Sport Chrono, sports exhaust and the front axle lift system, this is a very low mileage Targa that is close to new.
The Drive Review
The Targa has always been the most theatrical 911. The fixed roll hoop, the glass rear window and the power operated roof panel give it a look no other open Porsche has, and the 992 version keeps the 1960s silhouette while adding modern engineering. The Targa 4 uses a 3.0 litre twin turbocharged flat six mounted behind the rear axle, with the engine sending drive through an eight speed PDK dual clutch gearbox to all four wheels. The sheet records the gearbox simply as a floor automatic and the drive as 4WD.
The character is classic 911 with modern shove. Power arrives early and builds cleanly, the flat six has a hard edged sound that the sports exhaust on this car should sharpen, and the rear engine layout gives the traction and the front end feel that enthusiasts talk about. Four wheel drive adds confidence in wet weather and on cold mornings. The Targa carries more weight than a coupe because of its roof mechanism, so it favours fast touring over track work, but the steering is precise and the chassis is well controlled.
This car has the Sport Chrono package, Power Steering Plus, the GT sport steering wheel and the front axle lift system. The lift helps with steep ramps and speed bumps, which matters on a low car. Compared with older air cooled 911s the 992 is quicker, quieter and far easier to live with every day, though it is less raw.

Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet is titled Imported Car Prime Corner, with lot number 75187, grade 5 and interior supplementary grade A. It lists engine size 3000, chassis code 7BA-992NC2, first registration January 2024 (R6), model Porsche 911, body type OP (open top), grade 911 Targa 4, drive 4WD, shaken to 18 January 2027 (R9), floor automatic, automatic air conditioning, odometer 4,568 km, original colour black with no colour change, colour code C9X, petrol, import category dealer import, recycling deposit ¥20,970, four seats and the frame number WP0ZZZ99ZRS226150. The interior colour, steering side, transfer document expiry, load capacity and serial number boxes are blank.
The new car service book with warranty booklet is marked as present. Owner manuals and spare keys are not confirmed on the sheet. The spare wheel symbol on the diagram is unmarked. The sales points note that this is the first time at auction and a car bought in from a private owner, followed by the equipment listed above. The inspector's report reads small scratches (小キズ), and nothing else is written. No engine, gearbox, air conditioning, electrical, suspension, rust or accident repair comments appear.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram shows three A marks, which mean scratches. One sits on the left side around the door area, one on the right side around the door area, and one on the rear around the bumper. No severity number follows the A on any of them, and the exact panels are a best reading of where the leader lines end. Without a number they should be treated as light, which matches the inspector's wording of small scratches.
There are no dent, repair, repaint, replaced panel, rust or glass marks on the diagram. The exterior grade is 5, and overall this is close to collector grade for a modern car, with light handling marks only. Buyers should still ask for extra photographs of the door sills and rear bumper.
Interior Condition
The interior grade is A. The photographs show tan leather seats with fine stitching and ventilation perforations, a clean dashboard and centre console, a leather trimmed GT steering wheel with the Porsche crest, and dark Porsche mats. The seats and trim look tidy in the photographs. The sheet makes no comment on smoke, odours, headlining or seat wear. The instrument photograph shows a seat belt warning in Japanese, which appears because the seat belt was not fastened during the photograph, with the display in Normal mode and a fuel range of 53 km.
Japanese Auction Grades
Grade 5 is a very high score on the Japanese auction scale and is normally given to cars that look near new, with only small marks. Interior grade A is the top interior mark and means very little wear. These grades are an independent guide to condition, not a mechanical guarantee.
Model History of the Porsche 911 992
The 911 has used a rear mounted flat six since 1963, and the 992 generation arrived in 2019 with a wider body, a larger digital interface and a PDK only line up in the first Carrera models. The Targa returned as a 911 body style with the 991 and continues the open roof idea first used in 1967. The 992NC2 code identifies the revised 992, introduced for the 2024 model year with updated styling and a new digital cluster. This car belongs to that later run.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The 911 is the core of Porsche's identity, and Targa models are produced in smaller numbers than coupes and cabriolets, which gives them a loyal following. This car has several factors that collectors like. It has very low mileage, a service book, a rare combination of Targa body and black paint with tan leather, and a long option list including Sport Chrono and the lift system. Modern cars like this are not classics yet, so this is a purchase for driving pleasure rather than a prediction of value. A car this young with this few kilometres, offered from Japan with a clear sheet, is increasingly hard to find.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On the 992 Targa, the roof mechanism is the item to test. Ask for a video of the roof opening and closing fully, listening for smooth movement, and check the seals and the glass rear window for fit and water ingress. Check that the front axle lift works at the push of a button, since it uses a hydraulic system. The 3.0 litre twin turbo engine is well regarded, but a cold start with no warning lights and a smooth PDK shift on a test drive should be confirmed on arrival, as the sheet does not comment on either.
For this car, look closely at the three scratch marks on the doors and rear bumper, and ask whether the optional Satin Aurum wheels have any kerb marks. The sheet lists the new car service book, so check that dealer stamps are recorded, and confirm the manuals and keys as the sheet does not mention them. Low mileage cars that sit unused should have the battery and tyres inspected.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. This car has small scratches on the left door area, right door area and rear bumper, and the interior colour, manuals and spare keys are not confirmed on the sheet. Even a nearly new performance car may need servicing, tyres or maintenance after purchase, so budget for an inspection on arrival.
