Porsche has found another place for the 911 beyond the road.

The German sports-car maker has teamed up with Italian espresso-machine manufacturer La Marzocco on a new collection inspired by the Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7, one of the most recognizable early versions of the 911.

At the center of the collaboration is a limited-edition La Marzocco Linea Micra espresso machine priced at a recommended retail price of €5,790. Porsche and La Marzocco unveiled the collection on October 29, 2026, at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen, with sales beginning the following day through Porsche’s online shop, selected Porsche Centers and selected Porsche Design Stores.

The machine is produced by La Marzocco in collaboration with Porsche rather than being a Porsche-manufactured appliance. The partnership combines La Marzocco’s existing Linea Micra platform with colors, graphics and physical details drawn from the Carrera RS 2.7.

Turning the Carrera RS 2.7 Into an Espresso Machine

The connection to the sports car extends well beyond Porsche badges.

Three color combinations are being offered. They are Grand Prix White and Green, Tangerine and Black, and Grand Prix White and Blue. The color schemes reference combinations associated with the original Carrera RS 2.7.

The machine also carries the distinctive Carrera RS lettering along its side together with a historic Porsche logo. Its cup rail was designed to resemble the shape of the Carrera RS 2.7’s famous “ducktail” rear spoiler, while the black control handles are laser engraved with “RS” and “2.7.”

Even the pressure gauges have been given Porsche-inspired styling, using red and green indicators. A magnetic RS 2.7 badge and a limited-edition plaque complete the treatment.

Porsche’s Austrian online shop lists additional details, including a magnetic drip tray inspired by the car’s rear deck lid and pressure instrumentation styled after Porsche gauges.

The result is essentially a high-end home espresso machine wrapped in the visual language of one of Porsche’s best-known historic cars.

Production Is Strictly Limited

Porsche and La Marzocco are limiting production by color.

The Grand Prix White and Green version is limited to 911 units, while another 911 units will be produced in Tangerine and Black. A third Grand Prix White and Blue version is available exclusively in Germany and is limited to 150 machines.

Together, those announced production limits amount to 1,972 espresso machines across the three versions.

That figure represents the maximum announced production for the collection. It should not be interpreted as units sold, customer orders or shipments.

Each of the 911-unit machines carries a plaque identifying it as “One of 911,” reinforcing the link to Porsche’s flagship sports car.

The €5,790 figure is likewise a recommended retail price, rather than a reported transaction price or average selling price. Porsche’s Austrian online store was listing the machine at €5,790 including applicable VAT at the time of publication, with shipping charged separately.

The Machine Has Serious Coffee Hardware

The Porsche treatment sits on top of La Marzocco’s Linea Micra, a compact espresso machine designed for home use but incorporating technology associated with the company’s professional coffee equipment.

It uses a dual-boiler system, allowing brewing temperature and steam pressure to be controlled separately. Integrated PID temperature control is designed to maintain a stable brewing temperature.

The machine also has a convertible three-in-one portafilter that can be configured with a single spout, double spout or bottomless setup.

Other features include an insulated steam wand, LED work lights and a two-liter water tank. Owners can use the reservoir or connect the machine directly to a water supply. The La Marzocco Home app provides controls for settings including temperature and operating schedules.

According to Porsche’s product listing, the machine weighs about 19 kilograms and measures approximately 34 by 29 by 39 centimeters.

A matching Porsche-themed La Marzocco Pico coffee grinder is available separately at a recommended retail price of €1,550. The grinder carries the same visual theme and includes an adjustable magnetic portafilter fork and an auto-closing bean hopper.

Why the Carrera RS 2.7 Matters

Porsche’s choice of inspiration is significant.

The 911 Carrera RS 2.7 was developed as a homologation model that would allow Porsche to compete in motorsport. Porsche originally planned to build only 500 examples, the number needed for Group 4 homologation.

The car was presented at the Paris Motor Show on October 5, 1972. Demand exceeded Porsche’s expectations, with the first 500 selling by the end of November. Production ultimately reached 1,580 cars.

The RS 2.7 was also the first 911 to use the Carrera name, which referenced Porsche’s history in the Carrera Panamericana road race. The initials RS stood for Rennsport, or racing sport.

Its 2.7-liter flat-six engine produced 210 PS, while the lightweight Sport version weighed just 960 kilograms. Porsche says the Sport could accelerate from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in 5.8 seconds and exceed 245 kilometers per hour.

The car’s aerodynamics were equally important. Porsche describes the Carrera RS 2.7 as the first series-production model fitted with both front and rear spoilers. Its raised rear spoiler became known as the ducktail, the feature now reproduced in miniature form as the espresso machine’s cup rail.

Porsche and La Marzocco Are Collaborating Again

The Carrera RS 2.7 collection is not the companies’ first attempt to combine sports cars and coffee.

Porsche and La Marzocco launched their first Linea Micra collaboration in 2024. That edition was offered in Porsche’s Slate Grey Neo and a Martini Racing design inspired by the Porsche 911 Carrera RSR that won the Targa Florio in 1973. The original special edition was limited to 911 units.

The new collection expands the concept beyond the espresso machine and grinder. Porsche is also selling coordinated espresso and cappuccino cups, coffee canisters, coasters, barista towels, clothing and scale models of the Carrera RS 2.7.

It reflects a broader use of Porsche’s automotive heritage across lifestyle products, with the Carrera RS 2.7 providing an unusually recognizable set of design elements to work with.

For buyers, however, the central proposition remains straightforward. The €5,790 Linea Micra is a functioning premium espresso machine first, while its limited production, historic colors and RS-specific detailing turn it into a Porsche collectible as well.
