Here’s the part that makes collectors start “accidentally” checking their bank apps:
So “how long will it be available?” Realistically: until the 1,500 allocations are spoken for. With limited Heritage Design cars, that can mean technically available for a bit, but functionally gone once dealers and repeat customers lock them up.
Porsche doesn’t do nostalgia because it ran out of ideas. Porsche does nostalgia because it has too many good ideas in the back catalog.
The Spirit 70 is part of Porsche’s Heritage Design strategy, and it’s the third model in that series—following the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition (2020) and the 911 Sport Classic (2022). The whole point is to revive specific eras with authentic cues, then blend them into a modern 911 without turning it into a museum piece.
Porsche also ties this car directly to its bigger business plan: expanding customization. They point out that they already offer 1,000+ Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur options, and they’ve seen the average “Exclusive” content per vehicle rise significantly—enough that they’re planning to expand capacity. In other words: this car isn’t just a tribute, it’s a billboard for Porsche’s personalization empire.
If you’re looking for a quiet, understated spec, this may not be your moment.
The Spirit 70’s signature look centers on:
Then Porsche adds the fun stuff:
Open the door and you immediately get why this car exists.
The centerpiece is the legendary Pasha pattern—done here in black and Olive Neo. The design is meant to evoke a checkered flag in motion, and Porsche applies it with the confidence of a company that knows exactly how weird it’s allowed to be.
Key interior elements include:
It’s the kind of interior that makes you want to wear sunglasses at night—strictly for accuracy.
This is where the Spirit 70 stops being purely a style exercise.
Porsche bases it on the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet (rear-wheel drive) and its new performance hybrid system.
3.6-liter flat-six paired with an electric turbocharger (eTurbo) and an electric motor integrated into the PDK transmission
Output is quoted as:
Translation: it’s still a high-performance 911 cabriolet. This one just happens to be dressed for a themed party.
The Spirit 70 is Porsche doing what Porsche does best: turning heritage into a living product, not a retro costume. It’s also a reminder that the 911’s secret sauce isn’t just engineering—it’s the brand’s ability to make the past feel useful again.
And with 1,500 units worldwide, it won’t be around long. The people who get them will talk about the paint, the pattern, the gold… and then they’ll quietly admit the best part is that it’s still a modern GTS at heart—roof down, torque on demand, and enough personality to make every gas station stop feel like an event.
