  Targa top - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Targa top, targa for short, is a semi-convertible car body style with a removable roof section and a full width roll bar behind the seats.
Targa tops are different from T-tops, which have a solid, non-removable bar running between the passenger and driver sides of the car.
The word targa first came into use from the 1966 Porsche 911 Targa, though the first production car with this system as an option was actually released five years before, namely the 1961 Triumph TR4.

 Targa automobilistica - Wikipedia
Una targa automobilistica (detta comunemente anche numero di targa) è una piccola targa, in genere di materiale plastico, fissata a un veicolo e contenente un numero o una combinazione tra cifre e lettere in grado di identificare in modo univoco il veicolo stesso.
Ogni targa dovrà comunque riportare il medesimo numero o combinazione alfanumerica.
Lo stile comune consiste in una banda blu sulla sinistra della targa, sulla quale sono presenti le dodici stelle simbolo dell'Europa; sotto di esse c'è la sigla internazionale dello stato in cui il veicolo è stato immatricolato.

 CanadianDriver: Test Drive - 2003 Porsche 911 Targa
The Targa, the subject of this review, is essentially a Carrera Coupe that's been endowed with a retractable glass roof that was first introduced on the 1996 Targa.
Targas (as are all current 911s) are propelled from way back behind the rear axle of the car, where a water-cooled, flat-six engine resides.
The Targa's body, while flared at the fenders to accommodate its beefy 285/30 ZR-18 rear tires, isn't as radically shaped as that of the Carrera 4S and isn't quite as intimidating as a result.

The Targa has been by far our most popular binding during past two winters, and G3's four hole mounting pattern is now the "industry standard".
The Targa provides an excellent combination of uphill and downhill performance in a simple design that is easy to mount and repair.
The Targa's classic neutral flex engagement requires solid skills to push big boots and skis, especially in challenging snow conditions….If the sheer number of G3's already mounted on skis isn't testament enough to their mass appeal, how 'bout the fact that the first telemark skis with mounting inserts use the G3 mounting pattern?"
