Porsche isn't just a brand, it's a family. And to celebrate this 70-year relationship with the Porsche Club of America (PCA), they announced something exceedingly rare - the 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe. Built as a one-off tribute with only 70 examples, it's Porsche's genuine thank-you to their biggest supporters. But it's not just a sticker package or a vanity project. It's a true driving machine, packed with emotion, legacy, and a lot of grip.
A Love Letter to the Porsche Club of America
This isn’t the first car from Porsche meant for PCA members, but it is perhaps the most meaningful. With only 70 total planned units, this 911 is definitely not for mass consumption—it is a rolling thank you for 70 years of enthusiasm and loyalty. One will be raffled, and the rest will be sold to PCNA members on a first-come basis.
In addition, this is a moving token of sentiment:
- It is based on the unencumbered 911 Carrera T, which is as light/simple as it gets.
- The number 70 is not arbitrary—it marks 70 years of PCA friendship (camaraderie), road trips, events, Porsche culture pride, etc.
- The last Club Coupes were released in 2005 (997 based) and 2015 (991 GTS based)—so this is part of an ongoing tradition.
Under the Hood It's All About Pure Driving Pleasure
Forget the bling of horsepower space—the key enduring theme for this one is all about balance and feel. The Club Coupe carries the 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, tuned to develop 388 hp and is only for the 6-speed manual gearbox. And to top it off, the gearshift has a beautiful walnut knob because we are paying attention to details here!
To make sure it drives like one would they included:
- PASM Sport Suspension (10mm lower for cornering stability)
- Rear-axle steering for cornering and precision
- Mechanical limited-slip diff with Porsche Torque Vectoring
- Sport Chrono package for dialed in driving modes
- Brakes that were upgraded to be capable to stop you down to match the performance
The Club Coupe is meant for twisty roads, canyon runs and for the occasional bragging rights at Sunday cars-and-coffee.
Blue Never Looked So Personal
A major feature is the Sholar Blue Metallic paint, a nod to PCA founder Bill Sholar. It doesn't scream, but quietly, confidently says what it is, just like the buyers who will purchase it. Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur also went all in because this car is literally dripping in bespoke elements that make it feel personal.
Let's highlight some key features:
- You'll spot Guards Red highlights on the front of the car and on its badges.
- RS Spyder wheels in satin black (20" front, 21" rear)
- You'll see special Club Coupe designs on the doors and a PCA 70 Years badge on the front grille.
- Customization of the mirrors and trim pieces to make it feel like it rolled out of your dream garage.
This is the type of car you turn back and look at one last time as walk away.
A Cabin That Feels Like Home for Porsche Enthusiasts
You'll know right away when you enter this vehicle - this is not a run-of-the-mill 911. The black leather interior is beautifully stitched in Speed Blue and Guards Red, complementing the exterior color scheme. It is sharp, upscale, but also playful and heartfelt.
Special touches of the interior included:
- Special illuminated door sills and puddle lights feature the 70th-anniversary logo, making every entry unique.
- A red 12-o'clock marker on the steering wheel - an understated motorsport connection
- Optional tartan seat inserts with a leather-bound manual embossed, "Club Coupe 70 Years PCA"
- You also get a Sholar Blue key, perfectly matched with a leather key pouch.
It's little things - even the owner wallet said, "We've really considered this for you" with its blue stitching - that are making this feel like a tribute and not just a car.
