2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe (992.2) – 70th Anniversary Love Letter to Loyalists
The 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe is more than just a limited-edition sports car; it is a rolling tribute to the most dedicated enthusiasts in the world. Unveiled to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Porsche Club of America (PCA), this model follows a prestigious lineage of “Club” editions, offering a blend of modern performance and deeply personal heritage.
Based on the newly refreshed 992.2 Carrera T, the 2026 Club Coupe is designed for the purist who values engagement over raw lap times. Here is the ultimate guide to this rare and historic 911.
A Heritage of 70 Years: The PCA Connection
The Porsche Club of America was founded in 1955 by Bill Sholar, and it has since grown into the largest single-marque car club in the world. Porsche has a long-standing tradition of honoring this community with special models, and the 2026 Club Coupe is the latest masterpiece in that timeline.
It joins the ranks of the 2005 997 Carrera S Club Coupe (50 units) and the 2015 991 GTS Club Coupe (60 units). By limiting production to just 70 units for the United States and Canada, Porsche ensures this is one of the most exclusive 911s ever produced.
Exterior Design: Sholarblau and Satin Details
The most striking feature of the 2026 Club Coupe is its exclusive paint color: Sholarblau. Developed through Porsche’s Sonderwunsch (Special Request) program, this Paint to Sample (PTS) metallic shade is a direct nod to PCA founder Bill Sholar.
Key Aesthetic Highlights:
-
RS Spyder Design Wheels: 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels finished in a bespoke Satin Black with Brilliant Silver details.
-
Guards Red Accents: Subtle hints of red on the SportDesign front fascia and the rear engine grille slats.
-
Bespoke Badging: A “70 Years PCA” badge sits on the rear grille, while “Club Coupe” decals in Brilliant Silver line the doors.
-
Paint-Matched Details: Unlike the standard Carrera T, which uses Vanadium Grey accents, the Club Coupe features body-colored side mirrors for a cleaner, more integrated look.
Performance: The Purist’s Powertrain
Under the hood—or rather, the rear decklid—lies the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six from the 992.2 Carrera T. While it doesn’t chase the 700+ horsepower of the new Turbo S, its 388 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque are perfectly tuned for backroad agility and driver feedback.
Technical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
| Engine | 3.0L Twin-Turbo Flat-Six |
| Transmission | 6-Speed Manual (Exclusive) |
| 0–60 MPH | ~4.3 Seconds |
| Top Speed | 182 MPH |
| Drivetrain | Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) |
| Suspension | PASM Sport (-10mm ride height) |
To enhance the “driver’s car” ethos, Porsche has equipped the Club Coupe with GTS-spec brakes, rear-axle steering, and a mechanical limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
The Interior: A Walnut-Capped Time Machine
The cabin is where the Club Coupe truly distinguishes itself. The centerpiece is the six-speed manual transmission, topped with a walnut gear lever. This is a deliberate aesthetic link to legendary Porsche race cars like the 917 and the Carrera GT.
The interior is trimmed in Black leather with Speedblue stitching, contrasted by Guards Red accents. You’ll find “Porsche Club of America” illuminated on the door sills and the PCA 70th-anniversary logo embossed on the center console armrest. For those who want to take the experience home, each owner is eligible to purchase a matching Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 911 Club Coupe watch.
Exclusivity and Availability
If you’re looking to add one of these to your garage, the barrier to entry is high. Only 70 units will be built, with the very first example (unit #0) headed straight to the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. The second unit is traditionally raffled off to a PCA member, while the remaining 68 are offered exclusively to club members through a special allocation process.
With a reported MSRP starting around $177,180, it commands a significant premium over the standard Carrera T, but for the PCA faithful, the historical significance and unique “Sholarblau” finish make it a priceless addition to any collection.

Press Release
Porsche 911 Club Coupe celebrates 70 years of Porsche Club of America
07/07/2025 The new limited-edition 911 continues the tradition of special editions celebrating the Porsche Club of America (PCA). The world’s largest club for Porsche owners founded originally in 1955 by Bill Sholar.
The new Club Coupe is based on the 911 Carrera T. A total of 70 units will be produced for sale and will be distributed between the United States and Canada. It comes exclusively with a flat-six engine making 388 hp mated to a six-speed manual transmission including a walnut shift lever, and an extensive list of performance-enhancing equipment, including the PASM Sport Suspension with a 10 mm lower ride height compared to a standard 911 Carrera, and a mechanical limited slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV).
World premiere at the 2025 Porsche Parade
The Porsche Parade is an annual weeklong event organised by the PCA and held at different locations each year in celebration of the marque. It serves as a destination for PCA members and brand enthusiasts to congregate around their shared passion for Porsche. The event includes autocross and concours competitions, rallies, exhibits and informational events. “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.”
Numerous details from the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur
Beyond its inherent performance credentials, the new Club Coupe is a visual standout thanks to its Paint to Sample Sholarbluemetallic paint finish – a new metallic take on the Clubblau paint which was first used in 2015 on the second iteration of the PCA Club Coupe. The new color is a result of many iterations and collaborative discussions between the Style Porsche, Exclusive Manufaktur, and the PCA since the beginning of 2023.
A standard SportDesign front fascia with red accents, and 20/21-inch RS Spyder wheels finished in Satin Black with Brilliant Silver accents give the car an even sportier appearance. Meanwhile, the Club Coupe logo on the doors in Brilliant Silver, the rear 911 decal in Brilliant Silver, and grille slat inlays in Guardsred pay homage to the PCA signature colors. The standard Vanadium Grey mirrors of the Carrera T model are instead painted in Sholarbluemetallic to bring in even more of the special color. Finally, a special “70 year PCA” grille badge offers a subtle nod to the tradition these cars carry forward.
The interior is just as special. Upon opening the doors, you are greeted with illuminated door sills with the “Porsche Club of America” illuminated lettering in the specific font as well as a door projector with the PCA 70 year logo. A black leather interior with deviated stitching in Speedblue and Guardsred continue the motif along with seat belts and the steering wheel 12 o’clock marker in Guardsred.
Other custom interior flourishes courtesy of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur include the PCA 70 year logo embossed on the center console lid and a “Club Coupe” logo on the dashboard trim.
An extended equipment package is available as an option and adds popularly specified content to the car. The package includes tartan fabric seat centers in a specific PCA 70 year pattern, plus stitching in Speedblue and the leather seat release pull loop in Guardsred. The leather owner’s manual wallet also gets Speedblue stitching and bears “Club Coupe 70 Years Porsche Club of America” embossment. The key is painted in Sholarblue, and comes in a black leather key pouch with Speedblue stitching and an embossed Club Coupe logo.
Exclusive chronograph by Porsche Design
Exclusively for owners of the Porsche 911 Club Coupe, Porsche Design created the Chronograph 1 – 911 Club Coupe. Handcrafted in Solothurn, Switzerland, this limited-edition timepiece features unique design elements that are inspired by the 911 Club Coupe and brings 70 years of Porsche Club of America heritage to the wrist. The COSC-certified chronograph is equipped with the Porsche Design caliber WERK 01.140. The clear sapphire crystal case back shows the rotor in the wheel design of the 911 Club Coupe in Satin Black and Brilliant Silver with the monochrome Porsche Crest as a center cap. The matte black dial with white hour indices with Super-LumiNova® luminous material features a “Club Coupe” model designation and “Porsche Club of America” lettering. Owners will have the option to wear the timepiece with a titanium bracelet or textile Velcro strap in Porsche Club of America colors with PCA branding.
“Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur make dreams come true every day,” said Aaron Ambrosino, President of the Porsche Club of America. “This car is a symbol of what the PCA, the world’s largest club for Porsche owners, stands for. We are excited that every unit will go to PCA members and look forward to seeing them at events for many years to come.”
The newest Club Coupe brings with it an impressive standard equipment list that includes a Sport Exhaust system, mechanical limited slip differential, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) Sport chassis, rear axle steering, the Sport Chrono package, and a GT Sport steering wheel. The brakes of the current 911 Carrera T are also upgraded compared to the predecessor model with six-piston fixed calipers on the front axle and four-piston calipers on the rear axle, both squeezing 350 millimeter vented and cross-drilled brake rotors. Perhaps most importantly, the car is a deliberate nod to the enthusiasm for driving that the PCA embodies. Because it is based on the current 911 Carrera T, it focuses on the essentials of driving joy: minimal weight, a manual transmission and an especially capable chassis that begs to be driven.
The first example of the new 911 Club Coupe, which is not part of the total 70 unit run, will be added to the Porsche Museum collection. The second example will be raffled off to the PCA, and all subsequent models will be initially offered for sale to PCA members. Production will begin this fall and run through spring, 2026. The price will be announced in due course.
The history of PCA special editions
The PCA Club Coupe tradition began in 2005 when Porsche created a 50-unit limited run of the 911 Carrera S Club Coupe (997.1 generation) to celebrate its semi-centenary anniversary. The debut occurred at the Porsche Parade in 2005 in Hershey, Pa. The first car was part of the 2005 model year and went into the Porsche Museum collection. The next unit was the first-ever car to be offered as a raffle prize to PCNA members, and all subsequent examples were offered for sale within the club.
The original 911 Club Coupe had stainless steel doorsills with the 911 Club Coupe logo, a badge on the driver’s side door trim indicating its individual number in the series of 50 cars, and an X51 Powerkit that increased added 26 hp and 11 lb.-ft. of torque to the 3.8-liter, flat-six cylinder of the Carrera S. Azurro California metallic – a modern interpretation of Azureblue, a color made popular on Porsche 356 sports cars when the PCA was founded 50 years prior – put the finishing touch on this very special model.
A decade later, Porsche commemorated the 60th anniversary milestone with yet another special model: the 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe. The debut happened at the newly opened Porsche Experience Center Atlanta in January, 2015 with a subsequent showing at Porsche Parade in French Lick, Ind. in the summer of that year. This 60-unit, limited-production model was based on the contemporary 911 Carrera GTS (991.1 generation), and benefitted from both the chassis and powertrain enhancements of the time including the wider body of the 911 Carrera 4. Its naturally aspirated 3.8-liter flat six generated 430 hp and could accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds when paired with the seven-speed PDK transmission. Perhaps most notably, the car came finished in Club Blau, a newly created color special to the GTS Club Coupe. A ducktail rear spoiler also contributed to the striking appearance of the car, along with 20-inch wheels painted in semi-gloss black with polished wheel centers.
