The Targa top is finished off in black. Tan is the theme for the interior, interspersed with black for that smooth look of comfort and luxury. The standard radio has been upgraded to a radio with a 12-CD changer and an amplifier mounted in the back, all from Blaupunkt.

The Porsche 911SC comes with all-around disc brakes, a sure way to ensure a speedy stop when necessary. 0-62 mph was clocked in at 6.8 seconds, but auto reviewers at that time were able to achieve better numbers, as Porsche was known to be a bit conservative with their performance figures.
