Porsche’s Retro Revival: Pasha Seats Now Available on Any 911 Carrera, But There’s a Catch

Porsche is tapping into its rich history, bringing back the iconic Pasha pattern for the modern 911 Carrera. The Pasha fabric, reminiscent of the 1970s, is now available as part of the Heritage Design leather interior package. But be warned: adding this retro flair to your ride won't be cheap.

The Porsche 911 Spirit 70, recently unveiled, showcased the Pasha interior in black and green. Now, Porsche is extending the availability of this awesome retro-themed interior to the entire 911 Carrera family but is only available in black and dark silver.

Opting for the Heritage Design leather interior package will set you back $12,980. This includes plush milled Nappa “Club” leather paired with the Black and Dark Silver Pasha fabric. The steering wheel, door armrests, center console lid, and various sections of the dashboard are all upholstered in Club leather. Front and rear seat bolsters are finished in Basalt Black, offering a luxurious feel that complements the Pasha fabric. Textile and flock yarn combine to create the signature checkered flag pattern that defines the Pasha look.

Originally featured on velour, the Pasha pattern now graces the center of the 18-way power-adjustable seats, door panels, and even the inside of the glovebox of the 911 Spirit 70. While the pattern is eye-catching there are limited options in color scheme. Buyers can also add the checkerboard look to the seat backrests and dashboard trim for no extra cost, and a front trunk mat in Pasha comes standard. Porsche even tweaked the digital instrument cluster for this special edition, and there's also a special puddle lamp that projects a logo beneath the door reading "Heritage Design" and "icons of cool." This limited-edition model, based on the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet, features the new T-Hybrid powertrain, boasting a combined 532 horsepower.

At the Auto Shanghai show, Porsche showcased the 911 Spirit 70 alongside the 911 GT3, highlighting the blend of heritage and cutting-edge technology that defines the brand. Dr. Oliver Blume, Porsche CEO, emphasized this unique combination of tradition and innovation. The 911 Spirit 70, limited to 1,500 units, features the innovative T-Hybrid system, delivering superior performance and design elements that evoke the 1970s and early 1980s. Now, Porsche extends the options to add a retro interior to the 911 vehicles but for a steep price.

While the Pasha fabric is typically available in a checkered flag pattern, some might wish for brighter color options to truly capture the spirit of the '70s. Nevertheless, its subtlety aligns with the 911's sophisticated aesthetic.

Is the unique retro interior worth the cost? Or would you prefer spending almost $13,000 on other upgrades and performance enhancements? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
