Introducing the 1978 Porsche 911 Targa Raised Steel Wall Art, a tribute to a car that blends classic 911 performance with open-top exhilaration. Part of the G-series 911 lineup, the 1978 Targa features a removable roof panel, a distinctive roll bar, and a 3.0-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, offering a timeless driving experience—cut from solid steel with laser precision and finished with a tough powder coat, this is wall art that’s built to impress. Here’s why it’s a standout for any car enthusiast:
- Air-Cooled Freedom: The 1978 911 Targa is powered by a 3.0-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, delivering 134 kW (180 horsepower) and 255 Nm (188 lb-ft) of torque, hitting 0-100 km/h in approximately 7.0 seconds and boasting a top speed around 225 km/h (140 mph). With a dry weight of around 1,150 kg, its rear-engine layout offers engaging handling—though its maintenance demands, particularly for the air-cooled engine, and rust issues around the Targa top seals can be a concern over time.
- Craftsman’s Build: The 911 Targa’s sleek lines, iconic roll bar, and flared fenders are carved into steel with care, delivering a piece as sturdy as the car’s steel body, reflecting its classic, open-top design.
- Four Size Options: Choose your scale—800mm, 1000mm, 1200mm, or 1500mm—to fit your spot, from a subtle nod to a full-on statement piece above your lounge.
- Sleek Standoffs: Elegant standoffs lift it off the wall, adding depth to the art’s composition that mirrors the 911 Targa’s low, sporty stance.
- Color Your Way: Black for that stealthy, night-cruiser vibe, or white to pop its clean, classic form—both suit the 1978 911 Targa’s timeless appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions
2mm, isn’t that a little thin?
No! 2mm may sound thin, but in the world of sheet metal its a good thickness for a product that will not face any stress or abrasion. For perspective, a standard steel kitchen sink is approximately 0,9 – 1mm thick. We can cut the products on a thicker material with little effect on the price but its simply not necessary and could make some of the bigger artwork a little too heavy, and more difficult to ship and mount.
Can it be used outside?
Yes! Powder coated products can withstand the elements as long as they are not damaged ie: chipped or cracked. For coastal customers placing art in areas exposed to rain and sun, you will need to opt for aluminum or stainless steel instead. If the option is not available on your desired product please contact us for a quote.
How is the wall art mounted to the wall? What does "Raised" mean?
Most wall art products are provided with Stainless Steel Standoffs with screws by default. The standoffs are powder coated black to match the art or left in their stainless steel or aluminium finish if you are opting for a white or custom colour. Due to the physical shape and form of some products, they will only be available with either double sided tape or standard wall screws, and for thin framed art nylon wall spacers.
The Stainless Steel / Aluminium Standoffs are highly recommended and will allow your art to be mounted with a gap of around 12mm to 20mm (depending on the size of the product) between the art and the wall. This will add depth and a floating effect to your metal artwork as it emphasizes the arts cut out areas. The art can then be easily removed and relocated by simply removing the standoffs. Keep in mind that the standoffs are supplied in black for black art or a stainless steel / aluminium finish for any other colour.
Some smaller products are supplied with Double Sided Tape only. These products are not suitable for standoff mounting and can be stuck to the surface with double sided tape. Any product supplied this way will have this information available on the product page. We always try to position the tape in such a way as to make it as easy as possible to remove the art without damaging it, however, Metal Wall Art will not be held responsible for any damage incurred during the mounting or dismounting of your metal art.
If you would prefer to have your artwork mounted Flat to your chosen surface or wall then please notify us immediately after placing your order so we can adjust the artwork to have smaller holes suitable for standard screws.
If you would prefer to have your artwork supplied without any holes then please notify us immediately after placing your order so we can adjust the artwork. Your art will be supplied with no mounting holes and you may place the art as desired.
