Well there are coups which have "hard" roofs
Then there are cabriolets they are convertibles aka rag tops
And targa is a bit of both because it has a removable panel so you get a convertible experience but it's also a hard top in the winter.
In practice there are some issues.
It's not the full top down experience of a convertible.
Old ones tend to leak
From a purists point of view the targa is less rigid and heavier
Targa Literally Means " Shield" or " Plate" . The name comes from a famous race Porsche always did well in . The Targa Florio . The prize was the "Florio Shield" The name Targa was then adopted for the now Iconic Porsche Targa.

Boge

Approximately $40,000 without any options.

The first Porsche 993 was produced in late 1993. The main variant, the Carrera, was the first out of the production line; the Targa in 1996, and the Turbo variant in 1995.
Assuming this question is in reference to the first-generation 911 Targa, Porsche offered the Targa with a glass rear window alongside the standard removal plastic item beginning in 1968. If in reference to the Boxster, the troublesome plastic rear window was replaced by a glass item beginning in 2003, though this switch was accompanied by a decrease in the size of the window itself.
Porsche does not mean anything. It was the creators name. Ferdinand Porsche.
Targa Florio was created in 1906.
