Porsche Unveiled a New Limited-Edition 911 Club Coupe for Enthusiasts

Porsche just unveiled a love letter to its most diehard 911 fans in America in the form of the 911 Club Coupe, a limited-edition model for enthusiasts who want more tartan and flat-six in their lives. The marque debuted the car this weekend in Oklahoma City at a meeting of the Porsche Club of America.

The 911 Club Coupe is powered by a 388-horsepower flat-six, in fact, paired with a six-speed manual transmission that is controlled by a shift lever made of walnut. The ride height is 10 millimeters lower than a regular 911 Carrera, Porsche says, thanks to a suspension upgrade.

The car is painted in a blue hue called Paint to Sample Sholar Blue, named for the PCA’s founder Bill Sholar; a version of the color was first used in 2015 on the second Club Coupe. Inside, the 911 Club Coupe has red seat belts, black leather, and a door projector with the Porsche Club of America’s logo. Tartan fabric in a specific stitching pattern adorning the seat centers is optional, including in the glove compartment. The car’s key is colored Sholar Blue, too, and has a leather key pouch for safekeeping.

The car is based on the 911 Carrera T and has various mechanical upgrades to improve it but at its core, it is still a lightweight driver’s car, as the 911 Carrera T is intended to be and as PCA members surely enjoy.

“PCA members are some of the most passionate, not just in our little world but across the auto industry in general,” Timo Resch, president of Porsche North America, said in a statement.

The Porsche Club of America was founded 70 years ago, and Porsche says it’s the largest club of its type in the world. One of its main events is the Porsche Parade, which is held in different cities each year, including Birmingham, Alabama, in 2024, and Palm Springs, California, in 2023.

Porsche made the first Club Coupe in 2005 for the PCA’s 50th anniversary. The model appeared at the Porsche Parade in Hershey, Pennsylvania, that year; the first example of that car now sits in the Porsche Museum. The second Club Coupe debuted in 2015 for the PCA’s 60th anniversary and appeared at the Porsche Parade in French Lick, Indiana.

The first example of this third one will also go to the Porsche Museum, with the rest being offered for sale to PCA members first. Porsche did not give pricing information, but the 911 Carrera T starts at $138,700, and the 911 Club Coupe will be more.
