Reliving the Targa Florio in the Porsche Boxster – Epic Drives

Angus Mackenzie of Motor Trend is back with another truly excellent episode of Epic Drives. This time around he takes us to the garden of Europe, Sicily. While the active volcano and food culture there are unique attractions, it’s the roads that we’re interested in. The island of Sicily played host to the Targa Florio, a legendary historic race run along side the Mille Miglia and Le Mans. I’ll let Angus walk you through the history of the event, but it’s important to note that Porsche won the Targa Florio a record 11 times with lightweight mid-engine open top race cars. Their agility and durability allowed them to win over higher horsepower prototype cars. Mackenzie brings Porsche’s latest agile mid-engine roadster, the incredible all-new Boxster, to Sicily to drive the Targa Florio course once again.
