Only 70 examples of this limited-edition 911 will be produced Porsche has been spoiling 911 fans this month. A few days ago, the manufacturer unveiled three new 4S models with more power than the models that came before, giving 911 enthusiasts more all-wheel-drive options without resorting to the extravagant prices of the Turbo variants. Now, Porsche has revealed the new 911 Club Coupe, a limited-edition model that celebrates 70 years of the Porsche Club of America. Based on the driver-focused Carrera T, only 70 total examples of the Club Coupe will be produced for Canada and the United States. Custom Finishes, Inside And Out The first thing you'll notice on the 911 Club Coupe is its Paint to Sample Sholarbluemetallic paint, which is a modernized take on the Clubbau finish used on the second PCA Club Coupe in 2015. This deep, lustrous blue alone gives the Club Coupe a sporty and unique look, and it's nice to know the chance of you seeing another 911 in this color is exceedingly low. Source: Porsche The Club Coupe also has 20-/21-inch RS Spyder wheels in a Satin Black finish with Brilliant Silver accents. The PASM Sport Suspension drops the ride height by just under 0.4 inches, further accentuating the coupe's sporty stance. In front, there is a SportDesign fascia with red accents, while the Club Coupe logo on the doors has a Brilliant Silver finish. The same silver is found on the 911 decal at the back. Completing the exterior changes are a '70 year PCA' grille badge and grille slat inlays in Guardsred. The PCA's signature colors are also visible in the cabin. Black leather is standard, but it's contrasted by deviated stitching in Speedblue and Guardsred. This red if further applied to the seat belts and the steering wheel's 12 o'clock marker.

The same logo makes its way onto the center console lid, and the dash trim features the 'Club Coupe' logo. Optionally, buyers can opt for the extended equipment package with extras like tartan seat fabric centers, Speedblue stitching on the leather owner's wallet, and even a special key in Sholarblue. The Porsche Design center even created an exclusive chronograph for this model: the Chronograph 1 – 911 Club Coupe. Made in Switzerland, its design elements are inspired by the 911 Club Coupe, with special PCA branding and the choice of a titanium bracelet or textile Velcro strap. Another nice touch is the walnut finish for the manual shift lever. The Third PCA Special Edition Model Since the club's founding by Bill Sholar in 1955, there have been a variety of special editions honoring this passionate group of Porsche enthusiasts. However, the first PCA Club Coupe arrived in 2005, with 50 examples of the Carrera S Club Coupe, based on the 997.1 generation. It was followed by the 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe in 2015, and like the all-new model, these special editions also featured striking blue paintwork. The new Club Coupe features a 388-horsepower version of the flat-six engine, a six-speed manual with a walnut shift lever, a sports exhaust, and a mechanical limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring. Upgraded 911 Carrera T brakes on the new Club Coupe have six-piston front calipers and four-caliper items at the back. Think of it is a much more accessible version of the 911 Sport Classic, perhaps the ultimate manual 911. Source: Porsche 'Passion drives Porsche –pure and simple. PCA members are some of the most passionate, not just in our little world but across the auto industry in general,' said Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. 'The sense of community and excitement they create is unmistakable, so it is an honor and a privilege to create a special model celebrating 70 years of the PCA.' Although pricing isn't known yet, we expect the new Club Coupe to be comfortably more expensive than the $138,700 you'll pay for the normal Carrera T. Production starts this fall and will run through spring 2026. About the Author Karl Furlong View Profile

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.

2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe Is a 70th Anniversary Love Letter
Porsche has announced a limited-edition 911 Club Coupe model as a 70th anniversary gift to the Porsche Club of America. Based on the 911 Carrera T, the Club Coupe features a 388-hp flat-six, a six-speed manual, and an array of bespoke styling elements. The 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe will be limited to just 70 models, with PCA members getting exclusive dibs. Owning a Porsche and owning a Nissan are two wildly different experiences. Versas are great, but you aren't nearly as likely to have a well-dressed and knowledgeable enthusiast hovering around your engine bay asking impossibly niche questions from time to time. The Porsche Club of America has been bringing those kinds of diehard Stuttgart loyalists together for 70 years now, and Porsche is rewarding their unbridled passion with a new limited-edition 911 Club Coupe model. Porsche This isn't the first time that the PCA has been gifted an exclusive anniversary model. It has happened twice before, first with a 997.1 Club Coupe for the group's 50th anniversary and then with a 991-based GTS Club Coupe for its 60th. The newest example is based on the 2026 911 Carrera T, which will undoubtedly be a popular choice among the purists. The standard Carrera T's 388-hp flat-six powertrain and six-speed manual transmission carry over to the 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe unchanged, gorgeous walnut shifter and all. While output remains consistent, a mechanical limited-slip differential and sport suspension with a 0.4-inch lower ride height than a standard 911 should bolster the Club Coupe's canyon-crushing capabilities. Porsche's Sport Chrono package, rear-axle steering, a PASM Active Suspension Management adaptive damping setup, and a sport exhaust are also included. Porsche The Club Coupe is finished in bespoke Sholar Blue paint, accented with Brilliant Silver badging and Guards Red grille-slat inlays—a combo of hues that pays homage to the PCA's signature colors. Satin black 20-inch front and 21-inch rear RS Spyder wheels with silver spokes round out the exterior changes. If the Porsche Club connection wasn't clear from the door decals or grille badge, illuminated "Porsche Club of America" door sills give one last reminder before stepping inside. A black leather interior with Speed Blue and Guard Red stitching comes standard, but most examples will probably be outfitted with the optional extended equipment package that adds PCA-themed tartan seat inlays. Porsche Porsche Unless you're either a high-ranking or an extremely lucky member of the Porsche Club of America, the 911 Club Coupe is out of reach: only 70 examples will roll out of Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, with one remaining in Porsche's possession and another being raffled off to a fortunate PCA member. The other 68 examples will be offered up for sale exclusively to club members. Porsche hasn't yet released any pricing information for the new Club Coupe, but one thing is certain: it'll cost a whole lot more than the PCA's $56 yearly membership fee. Austin Parsons Associate Editor Austin's car fixation began at a young age and at 1:64 scale. Eventually, Hot Wheels weren't cutting it anymore, so he developed an obsession with his father's full-sized 1965 Ford Mustang instead. Desperate to break into the automotive industry, he bartered his way into a job at a local BMW dealership by promising to stop hurling nerdy technical facts at the salesmen who came into the neighboring coffee shop where he worked. That was also around the time when he started writing automotive reviews, news articles, and technical guides for a number of local and international publications. Now at Car and Driver, Austin brings more than 10 years of experience in the automotive industry and an all-so-common love-hate relationship with German engineering to the table. Read full bio
