When a classic spins a modern record

Porsche pays homage to the golden age of the disco era with retro elegance and modern technology with the Porsche 911 Spirit 70. A 1970s-inspired convertible, 541 horsepower and a limited run of 1,500 units – the Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is a car you don't need, but simply have to have.

Porsche The 911 Spirit 70 is the third child of Porsche's Heritage Design family. After the 911 Targa 4S (2020) and the 911 Sport Classic (2022), it comes with a retro 70s design, but with a heart of the future. It is based on the current 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, which means brutal power and elegance, enriched with mild hybrid technology T-Hybrid.

Exterior: a fashion statement from the 70s

The color? Olive Neo – a deep yellow that you only find in 1975 catalogs. The wheels? Classic “Fuchs” in bronze. And to top it off: three black silk stripes across the hood, reminiscent of safety stickers from that era. On the hips, a “lollipop” number awaits you, catapulting you to the Nürburgring '78. Don't worry, this isn't cosplay, this is a design manifesto.

Inside: When Pasha Returns to the Throne

If you've ever heard of the "Pasha" pattern, then you know it's something you wore on your sofa and steering wheel in the 70s. In the Porsche 911 Spirit 70, this pattern is reimagined in a black and olive combination that adorns the seats, door panels and even the inside of the glove compartment. Elegant, nostalgic, with more comfort than ever before. There's also a black leather interior with olive stitching - as if the driver were being hugged by a vintage armchair.

Technology under the hood: hybrid power with vintage charm

The heart of the car is a 3.6-liter boxer engine, which together with the eTurbo system and the electric motor in the new PDK transmission develops an impressive 398 kW (541 hp) and 610 Nm of torque. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes around 3 seconds, and the top speed is a dizzying 312 km/h (194 mph). No “slow ride”, just “let's go!”

Watch and app – if the car is not enough

Porsche 911 Spirit 70 buyers also receive an exclusive Porsche Design chronograph watch with a Pasha pattern and green numbers. And for complete retro immersion – a new app for Apple Vision Pro that lets you virtually customize your car and experience a true 70's experience in a VR environment. If you're not already in the 911 Spirit 70, at least you're in the spirit.

Conclusion – more than just a classic

The Porsche 911 Spirit 70 isn't for everyone - it's expensive, limited and carries more nostalgia than your parents' family album. But for the right audience - lovers of design, speed and exclusivity - it's a dream car. Price? Around $240,000 (approximately €223,000), depending on market and options. It's not cheap, but for a time machine that makes you feel like Steve McQueen on a Sunday road trip, it's worth every penny.

The Spirit 70 isn't just a tribute to the past - it's its rebirth. With retro aesthetics, modern performance and technological sophistication, it's proof that nostalgia and the future can ride together - in grand style and with the wind in your hair.
