Porsche and La Marzocco have teamed up again, and this time the Florentine espresso maker has borrowed the ducktail from one of the most collected 911s ever built. The new 911 Carrera RS 2.7 Collection centres on a limited-edition Linea Micra espresso machine and a matching Pico grinder, and it went on sale on 30 October after a launch event at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen the night before.
It’s the second coffee collaboration between the two brands. The first, in 2024, dressed the Linea Micra in the Martini livery of the 911 Carrera RSR that won the Targa Florio in 1973, and it was also limited to 911 units, because of course it was.
This time the reference point is the 1972 911 Carrera RS 2.7. Porsche built it as a homologation special for motorsport, it was the first 911 to carry the Carrera name and side lettering, and its rear spoiler was so distinctive it gave the whole car a nickname. Porsche still calls it the fastest German production car of its era.
The Linea Micra comes in three historic Porsche colour schemes, Grand Prix White with green, Tangerine with black, and Grand Prix White with blue. The first two are limited to 911 units each, while the blue-on-white machine is a Germany-only run of just 150.

Once you know where to look, the car is everywhere. The cup rail on top is shaped like the ducktail, the black handles carry laser-engraved RS and 2.7 markings, and the analogue pressure gauges get red and green needles styled after Porsche instruments.
There’s Carrera RS script along the side, a magnetic RS 2.7 badge and a small plaque reading “One of 911”, in case your guests somehow miss the point.
Under the livery it’s still a proper La Marzocco. The company has been building espresso machines in Florence since 1927 and patented the horizontal boiler in 1939, and this Linea Micra brings a convertible three-in-one portafilter, an insulated steam wand, a two-litre water tank, LED barista lights and app control for temperature and scheduling to the bench.
The Pico grinder wears the same colours and adds a magnetic portafilter fork and a bean hopper that closes itself. Porsche has then filled out the collection with espresso and cappuccino cups, coffee canisters, barista towels, coasters, hoodies, tees, caps and socks.
The best thing in the range costs the least. It’s a 1:18-scale RS 2.7 model car that comes with its own miniature coffee machine, which is the most enthusiast-brained object Porsche has made all year.
In Europe, the Linea Micra retails for €5,790 and the Pico for €1,550, roughly A$9,200 and A$2,450 at current exchange rates. Haute Living reports US pricing of US$7,911 for the machine, a number that is clearly not an accident, and US$2,125 for the grinder, with lifestyle pieces starting at US$59.
The collection is sold through Porsche’s online shop, select Porsche Centres and select Porsche Design stores. If the last one is any guide, don’t sit on it, because Japanese outlet Gizmodo reported the entire 2024 run was reserved and sold out.
It’s also further proof that Porsche will happily put its crest on anything that lives in a nice house, following last year’s Smeg kitchen appliance collaboration. We’ve written about why every car brand now wants a fashion collab, and if you’d rather put the money towards the real thing, our Porsche 911 buying guide will show you exactly how far €5,790 doesn’t go.
