The Porsche 911 3.0 PDK in Targa form pairs an open-roof body with a robotic gearbox, so the way its ratios and its all-wheel drive share the tyre contact patch is worth explaining.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
Turbo
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
AWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
Not provided
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
2981 cm³

Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
7
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
450 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
331 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
A combustion engine only pulls well within a narrow speed band, so a gearbox multiplies torque heavily to move a Targa body from rest, then steps down to a long ratio that keeps revolutions low during sustained travel.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
Each driven wheel has one small contact patch that must simultaneously carry rolling and tractive demands. All-wheel drive splits the torque across four patches, so each asks less grip from its share and less is left over for steering.
Body and Practicality
Targa describes the removable roof panel above the occupants, not what sits behind or ahead of them. Load floor height depends on suspension and structural layout under the compartment, which the body label alone does not define.
