I think it's very clever of Porsche to offer it with AWD and with wide body. I suspect that we will see better Targa sales than ever.

Yeah, but what for? The AWD on the Carrera makes sense if you are driving hard on the limit - something I simply can't see most of the appropriate owners doing.

I do like the looks though - according to AMS the AWD frontend is more stable than the 2WD counterpart. This might help the targa but I would rather opt for the GT3's 90l fuel tank than the front driven axle!

1) I don't think of AWD as being useful if you drive hard and on the limit unless the limit you are talking about is one of traction. The GT3 is for driving hard and on the limit and it does not have AWD.
2) I don't think potential Targa owners are any less likely to drive in a spirited fashion than any other 911 owners, cab owners included.

Let's not forget that the #1 selling 911 in America (Porsches buggest market) is the C4S cab. Seems clever to me to offer a T4S!
