The Porsche 911 Club Coupe Is a Carrera T, But Rarer
For its 50th birthday, the Porsche Club of America worked with Porsche to create a special model commemorating the golden anniversary, the 2006 911 Carrera S Club Coupe. The PCA and Porsche collaborated again 10 years later for the club's 60th with the 2016 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe, and with the club celebrating its 70th birthday this weekend, it was high time for a new special model. This is the 2026 911 Carrera T Club Coupe. Porsche and the PCA unveiled the car Sunday night at the club's annual Parade, this year held in Oklahoma City. As the name implies, it's based on the Carrera T , the lightest and most purist-aimed version of the current 911, and the only Carrera model with a manual transmission. Porsche will build just 70 examples—the first will go in its museum, PCA will raffle off the second, while PCA members will be able to purchase the rest. Photo by: Porsche Each of these Club Coupes has been finished in a unique shade of blue, Azurro California Metallic for the 2006 model and Club Blau for the 2016 model. This car is finished in a new color called Sholar Blue, a sort of metallic version of Club Blau. There are all sorts of other visual tweaks, like a Sport Design front fascia with red accents, a unique finish for the 20- and 21-inch RS Spyder Design wheels, a "Club Coupe" decal on the doors, and red striping and a commemorative badge on the engine lid. Inside, it's even more exuberant, with unique red-white-and-blue trim for the seats and the interior of the glovebox, red and blue stitching, a commemorative badge embossed into the center console, and a PCA logo just behind the shifter. The Porsche Club of America name is also printed on the door sills, and there are little LED puddle lamps on the bottom of the doors with the special 70th anniversary PCA logo. There'll be no doubting you're in something special from the cockpit. Mechanically, it's all standard Carrera T fare, which consists of the 911's base 388-horsepower 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, a six-speed manual transmission, adaptive sport suspension, sports exhaust, and rear-wheel steering. Owners can also buy a special Porsche Design chronograph to match their car. Photo by: Porsche Photo by: Porsche Photo by: Porsche Porsche hasn't announced pricing yet, but you can expect it to be at least a bit more expensive than the $140,950 for a regular 2026 911 Carrera T. Plus, of course, the cost of a $56 annual PCA membership.

Porsche Just Unveiled 3 New All-Wheel Drive 911s
Anyone in the market for an all-wheel-drive Porsche 911 will have plenty of options to choose from in 2026. The venerable German sports car maker has just unveiled a trio of 4S models for its most iconic vehicle. The latest 992.2-generation variants will be available as a Carrera coupe, Carrera cabriolet, and Targa. More from Robb Report Fancy Colored Diamond Prices Have Skyrocketed 205% Since 2005: Report Wimbledon's Most Coveted Seats Are Fetching a Tidy Profit One of Texas's Best Distilleries Is Dropping a Cask-Strength Version of Its Port-Finished Bourbon The 4S, which was introduced in 2002 during the 996 generation, isn't the only all-wheel-drive 911, but it is the most accessible. The variant makes its 992.2 debut as part of the upcoming 2026 model year following a one-year absence from the constantly evolving 911 lineup and is positioned between the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S and all-wheel-drive GTS. The two-door is powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six found in the Carrera S. As in that model, the mill makes 473 hp and 390 ft lbs of torque, which is 30 more hp than before (but the same amount of torque). Thanks to the added power, the car can shoot from zero to 60 mph in a claimed 3.1 seconds when the Sport Chrono package's launch-control system is engaged. Top speed, meanwhile, is listed at 191 hp when summer tires are equipped. The vehicle features an eight-speed PDK, or dual-clutch, transmission, with a manual sadly not available as an option. The new 4S, like other all-wheel-drive models in the marque's lineup, comes with Porsche traction-management (PTM) system. The torque split favors the rear axle but can send power up front when needed. It also comes with a number of improved standard features, including a sport exhaust with silver tailpipes, upgraded dampers and hydraulics for the suspension, and brakes from the GTS. An active suspension management system and ceramic composite brakes are available as premium add-ons. The variant features the same visual tweaks that have been found in the line since the 992.2 debut in 2024, including larger air intakes up front and a streamlined rear end. Even the biggest Porsche buff would struggle to tell the 4S apart from the Carrera S if it wasn't for the badging. The interior, meanwhile, remains unchanged. We'll have to wait for final pricing, but expect the 4S's starting cost to come in somewhere between $146,400 (which is the base ask for the Carrera S) and $169,800 (GTS). Car and Driver reports that the Carrera 4S will likely start at $156,000, the Carrera 4S cabriolet at $170,000, and the Targa 4S at $171, of Robb Report The 2024 Chevy C8 Corvette: Everything We Know About the Powerful Mid-Engine Beast The World's Best Superyacht Shipyards The ABCs of Chartering a Yacht Click here to read the full article.
