Porsche and La Marzocco Launch Limited Edition Carrera RS 2.7 Espresso Machine
The iconic 911 ducktail spoiler inspires a high-end, limited-run home coffee brewing system.
1Automotive Heritage Meets Coffee
Porsche and La Marzocco have collaborated for the second time, creating a special edition Linea Micra espresso machine. This release pays homage to the 911 Carrera RS 2.7, widely considered one of the most significant models in Porsche history. The design incorporates specific aesthetic cues directly from the legendary sports car.
2Design Inspired by Aerodynamics
The machine features a cup rail shaped like the iconic 1972 ducktail spoiler. Designers mapped the car’s livery onto the hardware, using the white body to represent the chassis and colored bases to mimic the wheels. Laser-engraved knobs and analog pressure gauges styled after Porsche instruments complete the authentic automotive aesthetic.
3Technical Specifications and Performance
Under the custom livery, the machine is a standard La Marzocco Linea Micra. It utilizes a dual-boiler system with a 0.25-liter brew boiler and a 1.6-liter steam boiler. Weighing 42 pounds, the unit measures 13 inches high and 11 inches wide, offering professional-grade extraction capabilities within a compact home-friendly footprint.
4Professional Features for Home Baristas
The device includes a versatile 3-in-1 portafilter allowing for single, double, or bottomless setups. Users operate the machine via a tactile brew paddle that triggers an internal electric switch. Additional features include an insulated steam wand, a two-liter water tank, and integrated LED lights for precision during early morning coffee preparation.
5Digital Integration and Control
Owners can manage the machine through the La Marzocco Home app. This interface allows for precise temperature adjustments and scheduling warm-up cycles before the user wakes up. The combination of analog tactile controls and digital connectivity ensures that the machine functions as a modern appliance while maintaining its classic racing-inspired visual identity.
6Pricing and Exclusive Availability
The Porsche x La Marzocco Linea Micra is priced at $7,911, a significant premium over the standard $3,900 to $4,500 model. Production is strictly limited to 911 units for the primary colorways. A specific version in Grand Prix White with Blue is restricted to a run of only 150 units in Germany.
7Expanding the Lifestyle Collection
The collaboration extends beyond the espresso machine to include a matching Pico grinder priced at $2,125. The broader collection features branded accessories such as barista towels, coffee canisters, and apparel. Notably, the set includes a 1:18-scale RS 2.7 model car that comes with its own miniature coffee machine for collectors.
8Market Impact and Demand
Previous collaborations between these brands have demonstrated high demand, with the 2024 Martini Racing edition selling out in approximately eight hours. Given the limited production numbers, these machines are expected to be highly sought after by collectors. The project successfully bridges the gap between high-performance automotive engineering and luxury home lifestyle products.
