Last week, I was watching the news of the Shanghai Auto Show 2025, and then my eyes fell on the Porsche 911 Spirit 70. This is not just a car, but a great combination of the memories of the 1970s and today’s advanced technology.
Porsche has launched this limited edition convertible in just 1,500 units, which makes it very special for car lovers. If you like retro-looking cars and high-tech performance, then this article is for you. Let’s know what is there in this car that is attracting everyone’s attention.
The wonder of Porsche 911 Spirit 70: Old look, new power
The Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is actually a special part of the company’s ‘Heritage Design’ project. In this project, Porsche has taken its iconic designs from the 70s and 80s and combined them with today’s modern technology.
This car is based on the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, but every part of it is a mix of nostalgia and new thinking. When I saw its features, I was really surprised at how well Porsche has brought the nostalgia into the modern times.
A new perspective on hybrid performance
The most special thing about this car is its new performance hybrid system. It has a 3.6-liter boxer engine, which works in conjunction with eTurbo and the electric motor in the PDK transmission. This system gives 534 bhp power and 610 Nm torque, due to which this car is no less than anyone in speed. Hybrid technology not only gives power, but also saves fuel. If you think that hybrid cars are slow, then this car will change your thinking.
Old-style look that everyone likes
The Porsche 911 Spirit 70 looks exactly like the sports cars of the 70s. It’s Olive Neo paint, which is a dark green shade, is specially made for this model. Its front, back, and Fuchs style wheels have bronzite accents in grey-gold tone and give the car a very premium feel.
The black silk-gloss stripes on the bonnet and soft top pay tribute to the Porsche cars of the 70s. I liked its color and design so much that I wish I could see this car running on the road. This car is not only great to drive, but also looks different from others.
Retro look and a touch of today’s luxury in the interior
Its cabin gives you the feel of the 70s but with today’s luxury. Pasha fabric has been used in it, which has a checkerboard design in black and olive neo color. A stunning 12.65-inch screen has been given on the dashboard, which gives the vibe of the old Porsche 356. Its specialty is its white pointers and green digits, which give it a retro look as well as a modern feel.
The Basalt Black Club leather has Olive Neo stitching, and the Sport Chrono stopwatch has a very special retro look. When I saw the interior photos, I felt that this car is not just made for driving, but it is a complete experience.
Special accessories to make it more unique
Porsche has also provided some exclusive accessories to make this car even more special for collectors. Such as a special chronograph watch from Porsche Design, which is inspired by the car’s Pasha pattern and will be available only to the buyers of the car.
Apart from this, there will also be a lifestyle range of apparel, accessories, and scale models inspired by the 70s. The Apple Vision Pro app, to be launched in early 2025, will give you the option to customize the car digitally. These small details make this car even more special.
When will it arrive in India, and what will be the price
The good news for Porsche fans in India is that the Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is going to be launched here as well. Its price can start from around Rs 2.5 crore, which is understandable considering its exclusive features and limited edition. It is expected that its delivery will start by mid-2025. If you are thinking of buying it, then talk to the nearest Porsche dealer and make a booking, because this car can sell out quickly in such limited units.
Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is not just a car, but it is a story that combines the freedom and style of the 70s with today’s technology. Its retro look, hybrid power, and limited edition features make it a dream car for car lovers.
When I read about it, I felt as if Porsche had brought history and the future together on the road. If you have also become a fan of this car, then do tell us which feature of it you liked the most. And yes, do not forget to share the article with friends.
