The Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is what happens when Stuttgart’s engineers time-travel. Limited to just 1,500 examples worldwide, this Heritage Design model pays tribute to the flamboyant 1970s and early ’80s, yet it comes packed with the high-tech punch you’d expect from a modern 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet.

Built on the rear-wheel-drive 911 GTS Cabriolet platform, the Spirit 70 delivers 532 hp and 449 lb-ft of torque thanks to its 3.6-liter flat-six engine, an electric motor, and high-voltage system. But what truly sets this model apart isn’t just its speed—it’s the spirit.

Porsche fans will immediately notice the bespoke Olive Neo paint—a rich, bold green created just for this car—accented with Bronzite wheels and a black cabriolet top and windshield frame. Decorative hood stripes, satin-black “Lollipop” side graphics, and motorsport-style numbering harken back to Porsche’s motorsport heyday. Even the Porsche crest on the hood is a nod to the 1963 original.

Inside, it’s retro meets race. Porsche brings back the iconic Pasha interior—this time in a bold black and Olive Neo combo that mirrors the energy of a waving checkered flag. The seat centers, door panels, and even the glovebox are wrapped in this vibrant pattern, paired with Basalt Black Club leather and Olive Neo contrast stitching.

The digital instrument cluster leans into nostalgia too. Green digits and white pointers on a 12.65-inch display evoke classic analog gauges, while the Sport Chrono stopwatch is similarly styled to bridge the decades.

Like the previous Heritage Design models—the Targa 4S and the Sport Classic—this one’s a collector’s dream. The Spirit 70 even comes with its own exclusive Porsche Design chronograph featuring the same Pasha pattern found inside the car. This is Porsche flexing its heritage muscles while keeping pace with cutting-edge performance.

Here’s what really hits home, though: Even when Porsche leans into nostalgia, it never loses that unmistakable 911 look. That silhouette—the slope of the roofline, the wide hips, the integrated rear light bar—it’s still Porsche. Always has been. Always will be.

At $240,000 (plus destination and fees), this isn’t just a car; it’s a rolling tribute to an era when disco ruled and the 911 cemented its legacy. And yet, it’s fully modern, ready to carve canyons, turn heads, and command admiration whether parked or pushing the limits.

In a world where heritage often means compromise, the 911 Spirit 70 proves Porsche can do both: honor the past while charging into the future.
