Quite like the colour and maybe even the Pasha.

But really detest any stickers and superfluous badging.

Subtlety is class.

Think it’s great, but without the stickers.

What a load a marketing waffle…

The designers and paint experts at Porsche created the colour Olive Neo especially for the 911 Spirit 70 - a rich, deep green. Bronzite forms an exciting contrast to this colour. The lower rear section, the front section and the Sport Classic wheels in 'Fuchs' design are painted in this grey-gold colour. The soft top is black, as is the windscreen frame, emphasising the unique visual presence of the 911 Spirit 70.

Three decorative stripes in black silk gloss run across the bonnet. This detail is reminiscent of the safety stickers from the 1970s: back then, sports drivers applied longitudinal stripes to the bodies of their fast cars so that the sports cars were easier to see in the rear-view mirror at high speeds on the motorway or racetrack. The stripes are continued tone-on-tone on the soft top. The side decorative graphics with Porsche lettering and round start number field ('Lollipop') in black silk gloss and individual start number are a nod to the brand's sporting tradition.
An example of the contrast between tradition and innovation can be found in the centre of the front bonnet: The 911 Spirit 70 bears a Porsche crest there that is almost identical to the historic crest from 1963. There are gold-coloured "Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur" badges on the front wings. The Porsche Heritage badge sits on the grille of the boot lid. Its design is reminiscent of the badge on the Porsche 356, which was awarded in the 1950s when the 100,000-kilometre mark was reached. Other unusual details include the gold-coloured Porsche lettering and the model designation at the rear. The lettering gets its extraordinary brilliance from the galvanised gold-plated surface.

Interior: With Pasha pattern and special instrument cluster
The highlight of the interior is the iconic Pasha fabric pattern in black/olive neo. The graphic design of the fabric is reminiscent of a moving chequered flag. Different sized, cleverly arranged rectangles create a kind of movement in the pattern. Instead of jacquard velour as in the past, the 911 Spirit 70 combines a textile with flock yarns. This gives the fabric an even sportier character, an improved feel and more comfort, especially on longer journeys.
The centre panels of the 18-way sports seats Plus, the door mirrors and even the inside of the glove compartment are covered in the Pasha pattern. The decorative inlays on the seat backrests and the trim on the dashboard are also available in Pasha as an option. The standard range also includes a reversible boot mat in Pasha. The elegant club leather trim in basalt black with decorative stitching in olive neo and the basalt black club leather interior package are also on board as standard.

The instrument cluster combines historic design with state-of-the-art technology. The high-resolution 12.65-inch display has white pointers and scale lines in analogue format. Green digits are reminiscent of the legendary Porsche 356 and the model lettering is elegantly integrated into the fully digital rev counter. White hands and green numerals also characterise the special version of the Sport Chrono stopwatch.

I think it is fantastic. Shame its not a coupe, but nice to see Porsche bringing Pasha back. You can now buy the official fabric, albeit only the white/black

I really like it, but then I'd not buy that spec. The colour perhaps.

I feel car companies should sack off greys and blacks and just do mad colours.

Interesting - although I've never really seen the need to have stickers that say Porsche on a car that is very obviously a Porsche.

Like the wheel colour on that style. Would happily spec them on a Black/Grey Exterior Car. The rest of it is an acquired taste.

I am not a fan of commemorative cars, so this is not for me. I would never drive a car with a what looks like a competition number on the side anyway.

See (stickers aside) I quite like that.
