A type of car roof characterized by a removable center section. The term first came into being with the 1966
Porsche 911 Targa Top, which was advertised as a "convertible with a roll bar." It is named after the Targa Florio, a famous road race in
Sicily from 1906-1977.
Salesman: "Would you like your
Porsche 911 with a

Targa top?"
Bob: "A sunroof isn't enough for me. I would like the Targa top."
