The automotive world thrives on passion, history, and community. For seven decades, the Porsche Club of America (PCA) has embodied these values, fostering a vibrant culture around the iconic Porsche marque. To mark its 70th anniversary, Porsche has crafted a truly special machine: the 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe. This limited-edition model continues a cherished tradition, offering members a unique way to celebrate their shared enthusiasm.
A Legacy of Celebration
Porsche has a rich history of commemorating milestone anniversaries for the PCA. This tradition began twenty years ago, creating highly sought-after collector’s items. The new Club Coupe is the third iteration, a testament to the enduring relationship between Porsche and its dedicated club members. It debuted at the 2025 Porsche Parade, a fitting location for such a significant reveal.
Performance Credentials: Power Meets Precision
This special edition is based on the highly acclaimed 911 Carrera T, a model celebrated for its driver-focused philosophy. Under the rear lid, you will find a potent flat-six engine. This powerplant delivers a robust 388 horsepower. Power routes exclusively through a precise six-speed manual transmission, featuring a distinctive walnut shift lever.
The Club Coupe comes equipped with an extensive list of performance enhancements. It includes the PASM Sport Suspension, which lowers the ride height by 10 mm for improved handling. A mechanical limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) further sharpens its cornering abilities. This combination ensures an engaging and exhilarating driving experience every time you get behind the wheel.
A Visual Masterpiece: Sholar Blue and Bold Accents
Beyond its impressive performance, the new Club Coupe immediately catches your eye. Its standout feature is the striking Paint to Sample Sholar Blue metallic finish. This new color is a fresh interpretation of the original Club Blau, first used on the 2015 PCA Club Coupe. This vibrant hue resulted from extensive collaboration between Style Porsche, Exclusive Manufaktur, and the PCA.
The car boasts a standard SportDesign front fascia, accented with subtle red details. Its 20/21-inch RS Spyder wheels, finished in Satin Black with Brilliant Silver accents, enhance its sporty stance. Club Coupe logos in Brilliant Silver grace the doors. The rear 911 decal in Brilliant Silver and Guards Red grille slat inlays tastefully honor the PCA’s signature colors. Even the Carrera T’s standard Vanadium Grey mirrors are painted in matching Sholar Blue. A special “70 year PCA” grille badge quietly acknowledges the car’s heritage.
An Interior Tailored for Enthusiasts
Step inside, and you will discover an equally special cabin experience. Illuminated door sills welcome you, displaying “PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA” in its specific font. A door projector casts the PCA 70 year logo, adding a unique touch. The black leather interior features deviated stitching in Speed Blue and Guards Red, extending the exterior’s motif. Seat belts and the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker also stand out in Guards Red.
Additional custom touches from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur elevate the interior’s exclusivity. The PCA 70 year logo is elegantly embossed on the center console lid. A “Club Coupe” logo adorns the dashboard trim, reinforcing its special status. An optional extended equipment package further enhances the cabin. This package includes tartan fabric seat centers with a specific PCA 70 year pattern. Stitching in Speed Blue and a Guards Red leather seat release pull loop complete the look. The leather owner’s manual wallet features Speed Blue stitching and a “Club Coupe 70 Years Porsche Club of America” embossment. Even the key, painted in Sholar Blue, comes in a black leather key pouch with Speed Blue stitching and an embossed Club Coupe logo.
The Essence of Driving Joy
The newest Club Coupe comes with an impressive list of standard equipment focused on pure driving enjoyment. It includes a Sport Exhaust system, providing an exhilarating soundtrack. A mechanical limited slip differential and Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport chassis ensure dynamic handling. Rear axle steering and the Sport Chrono package further enhance agility and driver engagement. A GT Sport steering wheel offers precise control.
The braking system also receives significant upgrades compared to the predecessor model. Six-piston fixed calipers on the front axle and four-piston calipers on the rear axle provide exceptional stopping power. These calipers squeeze 350-millimeter vented and cross-drilled brake rotors. Most importantly, the car deliberately embodies the enthusiasm for driving that the PCA champions. Because it is based on the 911 Carrera T, this model focuses on driving essentials: minimal weight, a engaging manual transmission, and an especially capable chassis that truly begs to be driven on winding roads.
A Timeless Piece for Collectors
Exclusively for owners, Porsche Design has crafted the Chronograph 1 – 911 Club Coupe. This limited-edition timepiece, handmade in Switzerland, features unique elements mirroring the car. It brings 70 years of Porsche Club of America heritage to your wrist. The COSC-certified chronograph houses the Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.140. Its clear sapphire crystal case back reveals the rotor, designed like the 911 Club Coupe wheel in Satin Black and Brilliant Silver. A monochrome Porsche Crest acts as a center cap. The matte black dial with white hour indices features a “Club Coupe” model designation. It also displays “PORSCHE CLUB OF AMERICA” lettering. Owners can choose between a titanium bracelet or a textile Velcro strap in Porsche Club of America colors with PCA branding.
The first example of the new 911 Club Coupe, separate from the 70-unit production run, will join the Porsche Museum collection. The second example will be raffled off, providing a unique opportunity for a lucky PCA member. All subsequent models will be initially offered for sale exclusively to PCA members. Production is set to begin this fall and will run through spring 2026. Pricing details will be released soon, adding to the anticipation for this special vehicle.
The Club Coupe Tradition Evolves
The PCA Club Coupe tradition began in 2005. Porsche created a 50-unit limited run of the 911 Carrera S Club Coupe (997.1 generation). Its debut occurred at the Porsche Parade that year in Hershey, Pennsylvania. That first car, part of the 2005 model year, also joined the Porsche Museum collection. The next unit became the first-ever car offered as a raffle prize to PCNA members. All subsequent examples were then sold within the club.
That original 911 Club Coupe featured specific details. It had stainless steel doorsills with the 911 Club Coupe logo. A badge on the driver’s side door trim indicated its individual number in the series of 50 cars. Furthermore, an X51 Powerkit added 26 horsepower and 11 lb-ft of torque to the 3.8-liter, flat-six engine of the Carrera S. Azurro California metallic, a modern take on Azure Blue, finished this very special model. This color was popular on Porsche 356 sports cars when the PCA began fifty years prior.
A decade later, Porsche celebrated the 60th anniversary with another special model: the 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe. Its debut happened at the newly opened Porsche Experience Center Atlanta. A subsequent showing occurred at Porsche Parade in French Lick, Indiana. This 60-unit, limited-production model built upon the 911 Carrera GTS (991.1 generation). It benefited from chassis and powertrain enhancements of its time. This included the wider body of the 911 Carrera 4. Its naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat-six generated 430 horsepower. It could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds with the seven-speed PDK transmission. Most notably, the car came in Club Blau, a newly created color exclusive to the GTS Club Coupe. A ducktail rear spoiler also contributed to the car’s striking appearance. This was paired with 20-inch wheels in semi-gloss black with polished centers.
Summary
The 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe represents a magnificent tribute to 70 years of the Porsche Club of America. This limited-edition model, based on the performance-focused 911 Carrera T, combines exclusive aesthetics with pure driving pleasure. Its unique Sholar Blue paint, refined interior details, and powerful engineering make it a true collector’s item. This special 911 not only honors a passionate community but also continues a proud tradition of celebrating Porsche’s enduring legacy through exceptional, driver-centric machines.
