Porsche presents the 11th issue of ORIGINALE, featuring the 911 Spirit 70, classic repair manuals, Sonderwunsch projects, and Porsche Classic developments.

The 11th issue of Porsche Classic’s ORIGINALE magazine has been released, continuing the brand’s focus on heritage, rare projects, and the people behind them. The new edition brings together several key themes, ranging from limited-edition models and classic service solutions to individual customer commissions and international events.

One of the central features of the issue is the Porsche 911 Spirit 70, a limited series of 1,500 units that blends 1970s-inspired design with the modern technical foundation of the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet equipped with the Performance Hybrid system. The model stands out through its exclusive Olive Neo exterior colour, historic decorative elements, and an interior featuring the iconic Pascha pattern. In ORIGINALE, the designers behind the project provide insight into the visual concepts and creative decisions that shaped the car, highlighting the balance between period references and contemporary technology.

Another key topic is the reissue of the Porsche 911 repair manuals for the 911 F series covering model years 1965 to 1971. Volumes I and II return as high-quality reprints, produced from carefully revised and high-resolution scans of the original documents while preserving their historical format and appearance. These manuals remain highly valued by collectors and specialists responsible for maintaining classic Porsche vehicles.

The magazine also marks ten years since the end of production of the Porsche 918 Spyder. Through an in-depth interview with the former project manager, readers gain insight into the challenges faced during the development of the hypercar and how Porsche Classic today ensures long-term support for every vehicle, from original spare parts to comprehensive technical care.

Beyond individual models, ORIGINALE 11 places the spotlight on broader developments within the classic world. This includes coverage of the opening of Germany’s first Porsche Classic Centre in Kassel, now serving as a dedicated hub for classic Porsche expertise. The issue is rounded off with stories about unique Sonderwunsch projects, international events, and a preview of activities planned for 2026.

Available free of charge from Porsche Classic Partners and all Porsche Centres, ORIGINALE continues to serve not only as a magazine for enthusiasts but also as a living record of Porsche’s classic heritage and its ongoing evolution.
