The 911 has captivated automotive enthusiasts around the world for decades, and two very special variants have just debuted at Auto Shanghai: the 911 Spirit 70 and the 911 GT3.

The third installment in Porsche’s four-part Heritage Design strategy for collector’s models, the previous two were unveiled in 2020 and 2022, respectively. This exclusive series, limited to just 1,250 units, draws its design inspiration from the 1960s and early 1970s. Based on the current 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet Hybrid, it features eTurbo technology, a newly developed PDK transmission, and a new 3.6-litre boxer engine. Together, the system delivers an output of 541 hp and 610 Nm of torque. Orders are now open, with deliveries expected to begin at European dealerships in April 2025, followed by availability in additional markets.

Porsche also unveiled its performance-focused 911 GT3, marking a bold return to the Chinese market. Surpassing its predecessor not only in raw performance but also in customer-focused details, the new GT3 includes features such as a lightweight, folding bucket seat with a headrest that can be removed single-handedly—ideal for drivers who wear a helmet. Tailored equipment packages will be available to meet individual preferences, and for the first time, the 911 GT3 Touring will be officially offered in China.
