Celebratory 911 Club Coupe Marks Half-Century Porsche Partnership
Drawing inspiration from the Carrera T, the new Club Coupe features a 3.0‑litre flat‑six engine delivering 388 hp, paired exclusively with a six‑speed manual gearbox complete with a walnut shift knob. Its chassis benefits from Porsche Active Suspension Management Sport, mechanical limited‑slip differential, rear‑axle steering, Sport Chrono package, a Sport Exhaust system and six‑piston front brakes—everything a purist enthusiast could hope for.
Appearance is dominated by a distinctive Sholar Blue metallic finish—a bespoke hue developed through collaboration between Style Porsche, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and the PCA since 2023. The subtle reimagination of the historic 'Clubblau' paint is complemented by red accents on the SportDesign aero front fascia, Satin Black and Brilliant Silver RS Spyder wheels, a 'Club Coupe' door-legends decal, and a unique 'PCA 70 Year' badge on the engine grille.

Inside, the cabin features illuminated door sills and puddle lamps bearing the PCA 70-year logo, black leather seats highlighted with Speed Blue and Guards Red stitching, and a retro walnut shift lever. Optional tartan seat inserts mirror those found in past PCA editions. Owners may also acquire the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 – 911 Club Coupe watch, which echoes the wheel design with its rotor and sports a titanium or textile strap in PCA colours.
This marks the third limited‑edition PCA Club Coupe, following the 50th‑anniversary Carrera S in 2005 and the 60th‑anniversary Carrera GTS in 2015. The new Club Coupe retains the manual-box light‐weight ethos of the Carrera T, ensuring a driver‑focused experience.
The vehicle debuted at the 2025 PCA Parade in Oklahoma City during a ceremony attended by PCA members and Porsche executives. Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, said the car celebrates 'the passion' of PCA members, describing their enthusiasm as 'unmistakable'. Aaron Ambrosino, PCA President, commented that the car symbolises 'what the PCA…stands for,' and reflected excitement for seeing these Coupes at PCA events for 'many years to come'.
Production is slated to run from autumn 2025 through spring 2026. While pricing has not been confirmed, it is expected to exceed the base 911 Carrera T price of around US $141,000, factoring in bespoke paint, exclusive trim and additional equipment.
The raffle entry for PCA members opens on 11 July, with submissions accepted until 15 August. The draw will take place at California's Rennsport Reunion 7 in September. PCA‑member exclusivity remains firm: after the raffle winner, the remaining units will be offered solely to club members in the US and Canada.

Time running out for Pascal Wehrlein in Formula E title defence
Porsche's Pascal Wehrlein, reigning Formula E world champion, left Indonesian capital Jakarta last weekend with his hopes of back-to-back crowns in a bad shape following his fifth non-score of the season. He now has just four races left to overhaul the 69-point gap to season leader Oliver Rowland of Nissan. It's a tough ask, with just 116 points left to play for before Season 11's chequered flag in London next month - a double header on July 26-27. But the German is approaching the end of the season with pragmatism. 'I think it's a good time to reset, and have a bit of a rest,' he said in Jakarta. 'Definitely the last couple of weeks have been very busy. 'The focus is, already since Shanghai, to be honest, not on the drivers' championship anymore. Obviously, we [will] try to do as good as we can, and fight until the end. But, realistically, the gap has always been quite big. 'The focus is on the manufacturers' and on the teams' championship, which is just as important to the team than the drivers' championships. So, yeah, that's where we are, and that's what we will try to do in the last couple of races. Have a good end to the season, try to secure the two championships there.' Wehrlein came into Jakarta's ePrix on the back foot, with the event just one week after his Le Mans 24 Hours debut, the world's most prestigious endurance race. Wehrlein and teammates Felipe Nasr and Nick Tandy drove the Porsche Penske Motorsport hypercar to eighth place overall. But the German-Mauritian enjoyed racing through the night in France, and then arrived in Indonesia as fresh as could be expected. 'Yeah, was a great experience,' said Wehrlein, who also logged 39 starts between 2016 and 2017 for Manor and Sauber in Formula One. 'It was a great journey because it started already a long time ago, with my first test in Daytona, and then also the race in Daytona for JDC [JDC Miller Motorsports]. The cars are awesome. I really enjoyed it. 'Obviously, since 2018-19, I was only driving in the Formula E series, so I really enjoyed coming back to other cars and you know, having that sound again. Different track. Going to bed in the evening with a small tinnitus in the ears, and just going back to something I really enjoyed in the past like [German series] DTM, for example – so racing a touring car or prototype, so it was great fun.' But, Jakarta was a step back with Wehrlein finishing 11th, immediately behind the man he has got to catch - Nissan's Rowland. It was a missed opportunity for a standout result on a day when his title rival faltered. 'It's quite a poor race after the qualifying we had,' Wehrlein said. 'We knew it was going to be difficult, that overtaking is almost impossible if you're in the same power mode [as your rival]. Yeah, just a poor qualifying, which resulted into yeah, the poor day we had. 'In the morning, we were very competitive. Yeah, the track conditions were insane. It was so dirty, actually, was it's more difficult to see something than in wet conditions just because of all the dust. Going a bit offline, there's a huge penalty, so it makes overtaking even more tricky, and it caught us in qualifying. I just went with my rear tyre a bit on the dust and lost the car. So yeah, that meant we were poor in qualifying and then after the penalty [for slowing down to create a gap] even worse.' Wehrlein and his Porsche Formula E teammate Antonio Felix da Costa head home to Berlin next month for the first of two double headers on July 12 and 13 before moving to the London finale just two weeks later.
