Pasha Returns! Porsche’s New 911 Proves Retro Upholstery Rules

April 22, 2025 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Porsche Pasha Upholstery Returns!

Porsche just dropped some big news: They’re bringing back the iconic Pasha fabric for their latest special-edition 911 — the 911 Spirit 70 — and it’s a sight for sore eyes (and maybe a little inspiration for your next custom project).

If you’re not familiar, Pasha is that wild, optical-illusion-style pattern made up of staggered rectangles — like a checkered flag caught mid-flutter. Originally a staple in late-‘70s and early-‘80s Porsches, the design is unmistakably retro, a little funky, and completely unforgettable. And now it’s officially back, looking cooler than ever inside Porsche’s latest tribute to the disco era.

The 911 Spirit 70 is based on the new 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet (yep, the hybrid one with a beefy 532 hp under the hood). Porsche only plans to make 1,500 of them worldwide, so this car — and its fabulous interior — is going to be rare.

Now, let’s talk fabric, because that’s what we’re here for. Instead of the velour used in vintage models, Porsche has modernized the Pasha look by combining textile and flock yarn for a sportier, more durable finish. It’s draped all over the seat centers, door panels, glove box, and even available on the dashboard and seatbacks.

And it doesn’t stop there — they even include a reversible front trunk mat in matching Pasha. Porsche really said, “Let’s go all in,” and honestly, we’re here for it.

The rest of the interior is wrapped in Basalt Black Club leather with Olive Neo stitching to match the car’s special Olive Neo green exterior — another nod to that era’s color palette.

One detail that’s easy to miss but deserves a shoutout: the glove compartment lining. Porsche covered that, too, because why not? It’s this kind of over-the-top commitment to design that makes the Spirit 70 a dream machine for anyone obsessed with interiors.

Of course, the Pasha magic isn’t just about looks — it’s about storytelling. Upholstery tells a car’s story as much as its engine or paint color, and this pattern screams “fast, fun, and a little rebellious,” just like Porsche intended back when bell-bottoms ruled the world.

For anyone who’s been pushing to get customers to go a little bolder with custom upholstery jobs, Porsche just handed you the ultimate case study. Retro is back, baby, and there’s no shame in embracing a little boldness when the pattern looks this good.

The 911 Spirit 70 will start hitting U.S. Porsche dealers in late summer 2025 with a price tag north of $240,000 (according to Porsche’s press release). But the real takeaway for us? Pasha’s back on the big stage — and it’s the perfect excuse to bring some vintage flair back to your next custom build.
