Overview of the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS
This Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS is offered at USS Tokyo on 15 October 2026, lot 75206. It is a left hand drive, one owner dealer imported car, first registered in December 2025, with just 663 km on the odometer, approximately 412 miles. The auction inspector has graded it 5 overall with an interior grade of A, which is about as good as a Japanese auction sheet gets.
The sheet lists chassis code 7AA-992SM2, a 3600 cc engine, four wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. The paint is Slate Grey Neo, the cabin is two tone leather, and the only damage the inspector recorded is small scratches. For a buyer who wants a current Targa GTS without waiting for an allocation, a car with this mileage and this paperwork is a rare thing to see in a Japanese auction.
The Drive Review
The Targa has always been the 911 for people who want open air without giving up the structure of a coupe. The wide roll bar, the glass rear window and the automatic folding roof panel give it a character quite different from the Cabriolet. With the roof closed it feels much like a Carrera 4 GTS. With it open, the cabin stays calmer than a soft top, and the rear screen keeps the flat six sounding close behind your shoulders.
The GTS badge sits above the Carrera S in the range. It brings a sportier suspension setup, a more purposeful driving position and a wider rear track, and it is built to feel tighter and more urgent than the standard car. The engine is a 3.6 litre rear mounted flat six, and the sheet lists the fuel as petrol. Four wheel drive gives the car serious traction in poor weather and when you are deep into the throttle out of a corner, while the steering still has the clear, light feel that sets the 911 apart from rivals.
The sheet records the gearbox as FAT, a floor mounted automatic. Porsche fits its dual clutch PDK to this model, which shifts fast and cleanly in Sport Plus, the mode shown in the instrument cluster photograph. Against older air cooled and early water cooled 911s, this is a much faster, more capable and more refined machine. What it gives up is the raw mechanical feel of those cars. What it offers in return is a car you can use every day and still enjoy on a fast road.

Vehicle Specifications
Manufacturer: Porsche. Model: 911 Targa 4 GTS. Chassis code: 7AA-992SM2. Frame number: WP0ZZZ99ZTS251009. First registration: December 2025 (Reiwa 7). Import model year: 2026. Engine capacity: 3600 cc. Fuel: petrol. Transmission: automatic (FAT). Drive: four wheel drive. Steering: left hand drive. Seats: four. Exterior colour: grey, listed as original with no colour change, sold as Slate Grey Neo. Interior: two tone leather, with the interior colour box left blank on the sheet. The colour code is not written on the sheet.
The sheet lists the body at 455 cm long, 187 cm wide and 130 cm high. The body type box reads OP, which is probably the open body of the Targa, though this is not certain. The car has Japanese plates, Shinagawa 341 sa 992, and the recycling deposit is ¥22,730. The odometer reads 663 km, or approximately 412 miles. The feed rounds this to 1,000 km, but the sheet and the instrument cluster photograph both show 663 km.
Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet marks genuine alloy wheels, power steering, power windows, leather, navigation and airbags. Air conditioning is marked AAC, which is automatic climate control. The sales points then add a long list of Porsche options. These are Slate Grey Neo paint, two tone leather, 18 way Sport Seats Plus, seat ventilation and heating, the front axle lift system, Power Steering Plus, Matrix LED headlights, a BOSE sound system and privacy glass.
The points to note add more. The windscreen has a grey tinted top band, the sun visors are in Race-Tex, a dashcam is fitted, and the car comes with genuine floor mats and genuine rubber mats. It is also enrolled in PSMP for three years. The sheet does not explain PSMP, but it appears to be a Porsche service or maintenance plan. In the photographs the steering wheel rim is covered in a suede type material, and the centre console carries the usual Porsche switchgear beneath the curved display.
The front axle lift system is an option worth having in Japan and in many other markets. It raises the nose at the touch of a button to clear steep driveways and speed humps, which protects a low front splitter and bumper.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet confirms a 3600 cc engine, chassis code 7AA-992SM2, first registration December Reiwa 7 and the grade 911 Targa 4 GTS. It records four wheel drive, a floor automatic gearbox, left hand steering, a four seat layout and a petrol engine. The overall grade is 5 and the interior grade is A. The shaken inspection is valid until 14 December Reiwa 10, which is December 2028. The odometer reads 663 km.
A new car service book with warranty is present and circled on the sheet, and the car is an official dealer import. The sheet lists the owner history as one owner. The points to note are the grey tinted top band on the windscreen, Race-Tex sun visors, a dashcam, genuine floor mats and rubber mats, and three years of PSMP already paid.
The owner's manual, the warranty book and the spare are marked as sent on separately. The spare is probably a spare key, but the sheet does not say so clearly. These items were therefore not with the car at inspection, and we cannot confirm when or whether they will arrive. The spare tyre circle on the diagram carries no mark. The inspector's only written comment is small scratches.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
The diagram shows five marks, all of them A, which means scratch. On the left side, around door and sill level, there is an A marked as many, meaning a large number of small scratches. The right side carries the same marking in the same area. These are the sort of light marks a car collects from doors, boots and bags in a short life, and the sheet does not record any dent or repair on these panels.
There is a single scratch on the left rear quarter panel and another on the right rear quarter panel. A third single scratch is marked on the rear bumper. The exact panels are approximate, because the side marks sit at about door or sill level and the lower ones at the rear quarters. No repaired panels, replaced panels, rust, corrosion, dents, cracks or paint fade are recorded anywhere on the diagram.
Our overall assessment is near collector grade for a car that is practically new. The paint is original and the damage is limited to light scratches. A careful polish may improve some of the side marks, but we cannot promise that, and deeper marks may need paint work.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded A, and the photographs support that. The dashboard, the curved central display and the light grey door card and seat surfaces look clean. The Race-Tex wrapped steering wheel shows no wear in the photograph, and the centre console and gear selector look unmarked. A tagged key sits in the cup tray, and the floor mats are in place.
The instrument cluster photograph shows 663 km on the odometer, the temperature at 22 degrees, the Sport Plus drive mode and a range reading of 340 km. The orange warning on the right dial is the seat belt reminder, which in Japanese says that a passenger has not fastened their belt and asks them to do so. It is a normal reminder rather than a fault. The sheet records no smell, smoke, stain or damage inside the car. The infotainment display in the first photograph is showing a Japanese welcome screen.
Japanese Auction Grades
USS grades overall condition from 1 up to 5, with 5 reserved for near new cars with little or no flaw, and gives the interior its own letter from A downwards. This car carries a 5 overall, an A for the interior and a 5 for the exterior, which is the top of the scale in all three.
Model History
The 992 generation of the 911 arrived in 2019, and the chassis code 992SM2 on this car points to the updated second phase of that generation, sold from 2024. The GTS has been the sweet spot of the range for many years. It takes the performance of the Carrera S and adds sharper chassis tuning and a more dedicated feel. The Targa name goes back to the 1960s, when Porsche created the roll bar and removable roof panel as an answer to fears about open cars being banned in America.
The modern Targa is a very different machine, with a power operated roof that folds away behind the rear seats in seconds. It remains one of the most recognisable shapes in the sports car world, and the 4 GTS adds the wider body and the four wheel drive system as standard.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
Porsche does not build the Targa GTS in large numbers, and it is the version many enthusiasts consider the best looking and best balanced of the Targa line. Cars like this, sold new by an official dealer in Japan with a full service book and a single owner, appeal to buyers who want the paperwork to be clean. A left hand drive Japanese dealer car is also popular in markets where left hand drive is the norm.
The 911 as a whole has a strong record for holding its appeal, and GTS and Targa models are often the cars buyers seek out. We cannot promise what any car will be worth in future, and we do not see a car like this as an investment. But a nearly new, low distance, well specified Targa 4 GTS is the type of car that buyers watch closely. Sourcing such a car from Japan is becoming harder as more buyers look there for low mileage examples.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Start with the roof. The Targa roof panel, the roll bar sections and the glass rear window all move on a complex mechanism, so check that the roof opens and closes smoothly and without error messages, and that the seals are sound, because wind noise and water ingress are the typical complaints on this body style. Ask for a video of the roof cycling if you can.
Check the front axle lift system, since it relies on hydraulics and sensors and should raise and lower without warnings. The PDK gearbox should engage cleanly from rest and shift without hesitation in Sport Plus. On a car this young, wear is not a concern, but the quality of any previous software updates and the dealer service record is worth reading.
This car's own sheet asks you to look at the scratches along both sides and the three marks at the rear. Ask for close photographs of the door and sill area, because "many small scratches" can mean light marks or something more visible. Ask whether the three year PSMP plan can be transferred or used in your country, since Porsche service plans are often tied to the home market. Finally, as a left hand drive car with Japanese language displays, confirm with your importer how the navigation and menu language can be changed, and whether the Matrix LED headlights need any adjustment for your local rules.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese cars are usually serviced at dealers, kept in garages and driven gently, and the auction system grades each one independently. A one owner dealer car with 663 km and a full set of equipment is a good example of what can be found there.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
After a successful bid, the car is paid for, cleared for export and shipped to your country, where it must meet your local import, registration and safety rules. Those rules differ widely from one country to the next, so confirm them before you bid and ask us if you are unsure what applies to a car of this age and specification.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but they are still used vehicles, even one with only 663 km. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide and not a mechanical warranty. Even a nearly new performance car may need servicing, adjustment or work after purchase.
Please note the points the inspector raised. There are many small scratches on both sides at door and sill level, single scratches on both rear quarters and the rear bumper, and the sheet says the owner's manual, warranty book and spare, probably a spare key, were sent separately and were not with the car at inspection. The meaning of PSMP is not explained on the sheet, and the body type box is not certain.
