Air-cooled. 2.0.
KAEGE RETRO® TARGA
Air-cooled in a double meaning. The KAEGE RETRO® TARGA is an interpretation of the classic F model based on the technical specifications of a 993 convertible. Like its series siblings, the COUPÉ and TURBO, it is also based on the fascinating KAEGE RETRO® principle – namely, the masterful combination of the design language of classic F models with the latest air-cooled Porsche technology from the 993 Cabrio. State-of-the-art carbon components, a six-speed gearbox and, of course, the obligatory roll bar, including a polycarbonate glass roof as a hardtop and an easily removable vinyl roof as a softtop, ensure ultimate performance and the incomparable Targa look.

THE HIGHLIGHTS
The flair of the seventies. In perfection.
The flair of the seventies.In perfection.
The KAEGE RETRO® was born from the vision of combining the beauty of an F model with the modern air-cooled technology of a 993 – and with it, a brand of its own, with each unique model leaving our factory in Stetten in the Palatinate region. In hand-picked quantities, of course. All our vehicles come with the following exclusive features across all models: KAEGE RETRO® LED headlights, radio navigation including a retro-style hands-free phone system, Recaro seats, Fuchs-design rims, KW suspension, and much more.

Nostalgia is in the details
Beyond the grace of the KAEGE RETRO®, we have put our heart and soul into the details: Chrome trim, bumpers, lights as well as tank and oil caps provide nostalgic perfection - even when looking very closely.
A lightweight beauty
By using carbon components, we have not only added modern components to the authentic effect, but also achieved a weight saving of over 150 kilograms compared with the original 993. Contemporary lightweight construction that is highly noticeable in vehicle handling and consumption.
The roof
The KAEGE RETRO® TARGA BOW features a foldable original vinyl top (soft top) and a high-tech glass roof (hard top), made of extremely light and highly stable carbon (CFRP) for the frame, Makrolon with glass hard anti-scratch coating on both sides, stainless steel fasteners with Teflon bushings and modern EPDM seals.
Rim design
Timeless design reinterpreted and realized in high-quality, modern wheels. Uncompromisingly authentic—but truly innovative. For the Classic, we use a three-piece wheel in a classic design as standard, but we are open to your wishes.
Innovative luminosity
With our BI-LED headlights for classic Porsche models, we have brought the latest LED technology to a perfect nostalgic look. Uncompromisingly authentic - but genuinely innovative.
Sound and performance
The custom exhaust system is one of the selected things where we decided to redesign and against the original. The sound, appearance and performance characteristics prove us right.
Timeless functional
Be impressed by the interior design possibilities of the KAEGE RETRO®, which can of course be accentuated and manufactured according to individual preferences. From the door panels to the center console, it embraces the flair of the seventies to perfection.
Cockpit for time travel
In the area around the steering wheel, every movement of the KAEGE RETRO® becomes a sensual experience: high-quality workmanship, visual accents and haptic refinements turn every kilometer into a journey of pleasure: A leather steering wheel that flatters your hand, classically interpreted gauges, high-end radio navigation system in vintage look and a dashboard for a consistent interior design. With airbag, of course.
Luggage compartment with ambience
Good style continues under the hood of the KAEGE RETRO®: The trunk is also designed in a high-quality and refined way according to your wishes. As with the classic, it offers space for light luggage. Always with you: enthusiasm.
Air-cooled
The KAEGE RETRO® TARGA is equipped with a completely overhauled engine from the 993 – and thus with the best air-cooled series technology ever built in the Swabian region. Finely disassembled, inspected, finely balanced and reassembled, the unit appears extremely refined, smooth-running and stable. The engine is low-maintenance and OBD-compatible.
Consistent KW
It is a matter of honor that we also install the proven and for us exclusively tuned KW suspensions in the KAEGE RETRO® TARGA. Comfort, damping behavior and sportiness are unsurpassed with the suspensions of this manufacturer.
Quite the 993
As with the six-cylinder unit, we made few changes to the 993's six-speed transmission. Although it has been overhauled and tested for heart and sprocket: Some things are just good as they are.
Value investment
The same applies to the brake system. It has been reconditioned from the 993 and has lost none of its value for a sporty and safe driving experience.
The roof
The KAEGE RETRO® TARGA BOW features a foldable original vinyl top (soft top) and a high-tech glass roof (hard top), made of extremely light and highly stable carbon (CFRP) for the frame, Makrolon with glass hard anti-scratch coating on both sides, stainless steel fasteners with Teflon bushings and modern EPDM seals.
Recaro, logically
Ergonomically perfect, ultimately comfortable and safe: It's only logical that the RETRO also uses the best seats available on the market. No matter which design you choose - it's worth trying it out!
Just in case
In the days of the F-model still a dream of the future, now rightly an undisputed safety standard. Authenticity must not come at the expense of safety - which is why the KAEGE RETRO® is naturally equipped with airbags. Hopefully, you will neither notice nor need it.
Innovative luminosity
With our BI-LED headlights for classic Porsche models, we have brought the latest LED technology to a perfect nostalgic look. Uncompromisingly authentic - but genuinely innovative.
There’s music in it
The sound system of the KAEGE RETRO® convinces by its unique clear sound. It is manufactured exclusively for us - of course including power amplifier and crossover.
Height lift
All KAEGE RETRO® models are equipped with tried-and-tested KW suspension systems, which have been exclusively tailored to our requirements. A manually operated height lift for the front lift provides greater comfort and safety on uneven terrain.
