Porsche Re-Introduces Its Funky ‘Pasha’ Interior for the 2026 911

Play that funky music, Porsche

If there is one thing that legendary German sports car and motorsports giant Porsche isn’t afraid of, it would be its past. Although some seemingly normal human beings treat it as demons that haunt them in their waking hours and sleep, one of the cool, fun, and quirky things that the boffins from Stuttgart will occasionally do is release a new product that heavily draws upon its past product offerings and motorsports achievements.

Porsche’s lively past is the inspiration behind some cool limited-edition runs of its 911 sports car. In 1989, 1992, 2011, and 2019, it released the Speedster, a version featuring a unique tonneau cover and slightly smaller windshield as an homage to the legendary 356 Speedster. Additionally, in 2009 and 2022, Porsche released the Sport Classic, an exclusive limited-edition model that took styling cues from several 70’s 911 models, complete with reproduction Fuchs alloy wheels and a distinct ducktail spoiler.

Recently, Porsche unveiled the 911 Spirit 70, a 1,500-unit, limited-edition version of the 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet that brings back some styling and functionality details from the disco decade. Apart from its special livery and exclusive Olive Neo paint scheme, the 70s-inspired ride also features a true throwback to a time when Porsches felt “funky:” seats and door cards finished in the iconic Pasha fabric.

Introduced in 1978 with the launch of its front-engined GT sports car, the 928, the wavy checkered pattern two-tone velour was previously offered in the 924, 928, and the 911, and became iconic to Porsche collectors and enthusiasts after it was discontinued sometime in the mid-1980s. Though the 911 Spirit 70 is a limited-edition ride with a hefty price tag of $242,250, it’s not the only way to get a new Porsche with a Pasha interior, as deep-pocketed 911 buyers with money to spend on options may have a chance of their own.

You can have ‘Pasha’ seats on your new 911, but there’s a catch.

Dubbed officially as the “Heritage Design Interior Package – Pasha” on Porsche’s official configurator for the 911, prospective 911 owners will be able to add some of the disco flair to their own 2026 model year cars, apart from models equipped with manual transmissions like the Carrera T and the GT3.

With this package, the center seat cushions, the center portions of the door cards, and the inside of the glove box are covered in Pasha, while the seat bolsters, steering wheel, armrests, and dashboard are covered in a premium Club Leather. The package also includes embossed Porsche crests on the headrests, a “PORSCHE Exclusive Manufaktur” logo embossed on the center console storage compartment lid, Heritage Design floor mats, and an owner’s manual wallet finished in leather and Pasha with the “PORSCHE Exclusive Manufaktur” logo.

However, before rushing to tick the box, prospective owners should be warned that they have fewer options than prospective Spirit 70 owners. While the Spirit 70 configurator shows two different options for a Pasha interior: one with a Pasha pattern in Black and Olive Neo (the green one seen in the photos above) and in a more muted Black and Dark Silver, buyers of the Heritage Design package will have to make do with just the Black and Dark Silver.

In addition, this $12,980 package requires the addition of $3,830 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats Plus with the Memory Package—its most expensive seat option—bringing the total cost of the package as a whole to $16,810. Doing the math, a Pasha interior on the base 2026 911 Carrera with the standard no-cost white paint and absolutely no other options like wheels, the sport chrono package, the sport exhaust, or virtually any of the tempting options in the catalog will cost $146,760 before destination and other fees.

Final thoughts

Even with its steep price, I can see the advantage of this package over a full-fledged 911 Spirit 70. Used Porsches loaded with rare and expensive options tend to do well on the second-hand market, and I don’t see why a 911 with this package wouldn’t hold its value 15 to 20 years down the line.

Would I buy a 911 with this package? Heck yeah, I would. Although the general public is getting a somewhat muted version of the Pasha interior, I still think that in a time where “quiet luxury” and more conservative values are creeping too closely into the world of otherwise avant-garde fashion, we must have a little fun; even if it means wasting an entire afternoon configuring our dream 911s on the Porsche website.
