Galpin Motors – 1986 Porsche bb Targa Hybrid: See it on our 2024 Concept Lawn
August 18, 2024
This 1986 Porsche bb Targa Hybrid has been masterfully restored by the expert team at Galpin Motors.
Blending heritage with cutting-edge technology, the car’s eye-popping paint job pays homage to the renowned bb-Auto “Rainbow” Turbo Targa made in conjunction with Polaroid for the 1976 Photokina photography show. Power comes from a meticulously crafted Ed Pink racing motor and is enhanced with VONNEN hybrid technology to deliver an exhilarating 550 horsepower. Complementing its power are the Active Suspension Management System, custom 18-inch wheels from Titan 7, and Brembo brakes—all ensuring dynamic handling.
Step inside to discover a bespoke driving environment. Premium materials and craftsmanship define the cabin, which features Recaro classic LX seats, an electric A/C system ensuring optimal climate control, and an immersive audio system with a premium 660-watt Focal sound system. A Porsche Classic Communication Radio and a 9.2-inch passenger infotainment screen seamlessly integrate classic aesthetics with modern technology.
Galpin Motors now holds the exclusive rights in the US for the esteemed German design firm bb-Auto. Bb-Auto was established in Frankfurt, Germany, 50 years ago by Rainer and Kathrin Buchmann, who customized new and classic Porsches and other prominent European brands. The Galpin team has been customizing cars since 1952 through their dealerships and world famous Galpin Auto Sports. There will be a limited run of seven 50th Anniversary bb targa hybrids built to their owner’s specifications.
