Porsche launches 911 Spirit 70 heritage design model
Porsche is releasing its third limited-edition heritage model, the latest being the 911 Spirit 70. The convertible celebrates the style and spirit of the 1970s and early 1980s. Released at the Shanghai motor show, it is part of Porsche's Heritage Design strategy and is limited to 1500 units. The basis is the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet platform, integrating a performance hybrid system with a 3.6-litre boxer engine, eTurbo, and an electric motor. Total system output is 403kW and 610Nm of torque. The asking price is $NZ525,000, with first deliveries expected in Q4 of this year. Read here about Porsche's Performance Hybrid System. The Spirit 70 features Olive Neo paint, a deep green that reflects vintage Porsche hues, paired with Bronzite accents. Design elements include black silk gloss stripes, historic-style badges, and a Porsche crest from 1963. The 'Lollipop' racing number decals and gold-plated Porsche lettering lend it added motorsport heritage. The cabin is dominated by Pasha fabric, reimagined in black and Olive Neo, creating a checkered flag-inspired design. The textile incorporates flock yarn for a more comfortable finish. The Pasha fabric features on the seats, door panels, glove box, and the boot mat. Club leather in basalt black with Olive Neo stitching rounds out the vintage-modern interior theme. A 12.65-inch digital instrument cluster features retro green digits and white hands, reminiscent of the Porsche 356. A Sport Chrono stopwatch is also a retro design. The Spirit 70 is the third Heritage Design model, following the 911 Targa 4S (1950s–60s style) and 911 Sport Classic (1960s–70s style). Further enhancing the retro experience, Porsche is launching an app for the Apple Vision Pro VR headseat. This allows users to customize their own Spirit 70 on screen. Over 1000 customisation options are available through Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Also available for buyers of this car is a Porsche Lifestyle Collection featuring 70s-inspired apparel, accessories, and collectible models, allowing enthusiasts to embrace the era in both style and substance.

Exploring Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur's Panamera and Taycan 4S
What's better than a Porsche parked in your driveway? A Porsche made specifically for you—reflecting your personality, your preferences, and your lifestyle. Sounds like a dream? That's exactly what Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers, a bespoke customisation programme that blends your imagination with Porsche's innovation. Porsche has always been known for excellence and performance, but the Exclusive Manufaktur, Porsche's factory in Stuttgart, Germany, takes things a step further by transforming iconic cars into unique personal expressions – whether it's an aesthetic preference or a technical one. Inspired by Ferry Porsche's belief, 'We place more value on building cars of quality than on building cars for quantity,' this programme creates exceptional vehicles tailored precisely to the owner's wishes. During our recent outing with Porsche Centre Bahrain, we had the opportunity to explore two outstanding examples of this programme: the Taycan 4S and the Panamera. Both cars were customised with exceptional care and remarkable attention to detail. Finished in Ice Grey Metallic, the Taycan 4S embodies Porsche's modern elegance and futuristic appeal. Its Exclusive Manufaktur features include beautifully painted lower trims on the exterior mirrors in Ice Grey Metallic, high-gloss black window trims, and a panoramic roof with adjustable light control—perfect for setting the right mood inside the car. Inside, the Taycan blends luxury with sporty style, featuring a stunning two-tone leather interior in black and Bordeaux red. Details such as the matte carbon steering wheel trim with built-in heating and personalised vehicle keys that match the exterior colour emphasise the personalised luxury. Illuminated carbon matte door sill guards, personalised floor mats, and a Head-Up Display complete this refined package. Painted in Dolomite Silver Metallic, the Panamera showcases Porsche's customisation from a different but equally impressive angle. Striking high-gloss black wheels with polished surfaces and a sophisticated Club leather interior in Barrique demonstrate Porsche's commitment to elegance and refinement. The Panamera includes adaptive sports seats with 18-way electric adjustments, a panoramic roof, and elegant door handle inlays that match the exterior colour. Unique taillights and a carbon matte interior package paired with a heated leather GT sports steering wheel underline the perfect balance of sportiness and luxury. Like the Taycan, illuminated door sill guards in carbon matte and a Head-Up Display highlight Porsche's attention to combining style with practical functionality. At Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, advanced technology meets traditional craftsmanship. Skilled artisans carefully handle premium materials like leather, Alcantara®, carbon fibre, wood, and aluminium. Every detail, from stitching to final finishes, is performed by hand, ensuring exceptional quality and uniqueness. These customised cars are not just vehicles—they reflect their owners' personalities and tastes. Even small elements receive extraordinary attention. The leather used by Porsche is sourced exclusively from Germany and Austria, carefully selected and thinned to precise specifications. This level of care ensures the interior is refined and comfortable. Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur thrives on the creativity of its customers, working closely with Porsche's Design Studio and engineers in Weissach. This partnership ensures continuous innovation and keeps the customisation programme dynamic and forward-thinking. Each Porsche leaving the Exclusive Manufaktur workshop is a result of this creative collaboration, turning imaginative ideas into extraordinary realities. In essence, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is more than just customisation—it's about creating cars with a distinct personality and character, uniquely reflecting their owners. Our experience with the Taycan 4S and Panamera vividly confirmed this, showcasing Porsche's seamless blend of luxury, innovation, and personal artistry.
