The Spirit 70 follows the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition (2020) and the 911 Sport Classic (2022). Both earlier models revived the aesthetics of the 1950s through the early 1970s and were well-received by collectors. Alexander Fabig, Vice President Individualisation and Classic, said, “The first two models generated great enthusiasm. We are proud to present the third, highly exclusive model.”

The 911 Spirit 70 features a distinctive Olive Neo exterior color, paired with Bronzite accents on the lower body, wheels, and trim. The black soft top and windscreen frame complete its classic look. Decorative black silk gloss stripes run across the bonnet, referencing high-speed visibility aids used in the 1970s.

Historic design elements are also visible in the Porsche crest, nearly identical to the 1963 original, and gold-colored Porsche badges and lettering. A Heritage badge on the boot lid nods to the classic Porsche 356.
