Porsche 911 Club Coupe celebrates seven decades of Porsche Club of America
Third PCA 'Club Coupe' continues the tradition of special editions celebrating the club Porsche 911 Club Coupe celebrates seven decades of Porsche Club of America Porsche 911 Club Coupe celebrates seven decades of Porsche Club of America Oklahoma City., July 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Third iteration of Porsche 911 Club Coupe for the PCA debuts at Porsche Parade Total of 70 units to be offered to PCA members Collaboration between Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, Style Porsche and PCA Special equipment includes new Sholar Blue metallic paint and extensive aesthetic changes via Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur Based on 911 Carrera T A total of 70 units will be produced for sale and will be distributed between the United States and Canada. The new Club Coupe is based on the much-loved 911 Carrera T. Thus, 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). The Porsche Parade is an annual weeklong event organized 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 concourse 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.' Beyond its inherent performance credentials, the new Club Coupe is a visual standout thanks to its Paint to Sample Sholar Blue paint finish – a new metallic take on the Club Blau 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 Guards Red pay homage to the PCA signature colors. The standard Vanadium Grey mirrors of the Carrera T model are instead painted in Sholar Blue 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 Speed Blue and Guards Red continue the motif along with seat belts and the steering wheel 12 o'clock marker in Guards Red. 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 Speed Blue and the leather seat release pull loop in Guards Red. The leather owner's manual wallet also gets Speed Blue stitching and bears 'Club Coupe 70 Years Porsche Club of America' embossment. The key is painted in Sholar Blue and comes in a black leather key pouch with Speed Blue stitching and an embossed Club Coupe logo. 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. Pricing will be announced in due course. 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 Azure Blue, 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.

Porsche 911 Spirit 70 unveiled at Shanghai Auto Show as homage to the '70s era
Porsche Reveals Limited-Run 911 Spirit 70 at Shanghai Auto Show, Inspired by the 1970s The Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is a tribute to the 1970s era. Porsche unveiled the 911 Spirit 70, a special-edition convertible that draws heavily from the design language of the 1970s and early 1980s at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show. Limited to 1,500 units, the Porsche 911 Spirit 70 is part of the carmaker's ongoing Heritage Design strategy which revisits key eras in the brand's history through limited production vehicles. Porsche 911 Spirit 70: Powertrain The 911 Spirit 70 is based on the current 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet but features a new performance hybrid setup. The car is powered by a 3.6-litre boxer engine, integrated with an eTurbo, electric motor in the PDK transmission, and a high-voltage system. Combined, the drivetrain produces 534 bhp and 610 Nm of torque. While the technical package reflects Porsche's latest hybrid development, the car's appearance focuses on revisiting the past. Porsche 911 Spirit 70: Exclusive paint and detailing One of the key visual features of the Spirit 70 is its Olive Neo paintwork—a custom dark green created for this model. Accents in Bronzite, a grey-gold tone, are applied to the front and rear sections and the 'Fuchs'-inspired Sport Classic wheels. The black soft top and matching windscreen frame add visual contrast. At the back of the car, there's Porsche and 911 Spirit 70 badging in a gold metallic finish. Three black silk-gloss stripes run along the bonnet and roof—details inspired by 1970s safety stickers once used to make sports cars more visible at high speeds. The side graphics include Porsche lettering and a black roundel for an optional individual number, referencing Porsche's racing heritage. The Porsche crest on the bonnet is nearly identical to the version from 1963. Additional period-inspired features include gold-coloured badges, 'Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur" branding and a Heritage badge on the rear grille, which nods to the one seen on the Porsche 356. Also Read : Porsche Macan S & GTS discontinued in India, last stocks available with dealers Porsche 911 Spirit 70: Interior and features Inside, the car continues the retro theme with the Pasha fabric pattern in black and Olive Neo. This graphic checkerboard motif was used by Porsche in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In the Spirit 70, the pattern is applied to the seat centres, door inserts, glove compartment and reversible boot mat. An optional interior pack extends the pattern to the dashboard trim and seat backs. The cabin is trimmed in basalt black club leather with matching stitching in Olive Neo. The instrumentation reflects the vintage theme as well: the 12.65-inch display uses white pointers, green digits and a retro-style rev counter layout, referencing early Porsche dashboards. The Sport Chrono stopwatch also follows this colour scheme. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India. First Published Date: 26 Apr 2025, 09:15 AM IST

Exploring Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur's Panamera and Taycan 4S
What's better than a Porsche parked in your driveway? A Porsche made specifically for you—reflecting your personality, your preferences, and your lifestyle. Sounds like a dream? That's exactly what Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur offers, a bespoke customisation programme that blends your imagination with Porsche's innovation. Porsche has always been known for excellence and performance, but the Exclusive Manufaktur, Porsche's factory in Stuttgart, Germany, takes things a step further by transforming iconic cars into unique personal expressions – whether it's an aesthetic preference or a technical one. Inspired by Ferry Porsche's belief, 'We place more value on building cars of quality than on building cars for quantity,' this programme creates exceptional vehicles tailored precisely to the owner's wishes. During our recent outing with Porsche Centre Bahrain, we had the opportunity to explore two outstanding examples of this programme: the Taycan 4S and the Panamera. Both cars were customised with exceptional care and remarkable attention to detail. Finished in Ice Grey Metallic, the Taycan 4S embodies Porsche's modern elegance and futuristic appeal. Its Exclusive Manufaktur features include beautifully painted lower trims on the exterior mirrors in Ice Grey Metallic, high-gloss black window trims, and a panoramic roof with adjustable light control—perfect for setting the right mood inside the car. Inside, the Taycan blends luxury with sporty style, featuring a stunning two-tone leather interior in black and Bordeaux red. Details such as the matte carbon steering wheel trim with built-in heating and personalised vehicle keys that match the exterior colour emphasise the personalised luxury. Illuminated carbon matte door sill guards, personalised floor mats, and a Head-Up Display complete this refined package. Painted in Dolomite Silver Metallic, the Panamera showcases Porsche's customisation from a different but equally impressive angle. Striking high-gloss black wheels with polished surfaces and a sophisticated Club leather interior in Barrique demonstrate Porsche's commitment to elegance and refinement. The Panamera includes adaptive sports seats with 18-way electric adjustments, a panoramic roof, and elegant door handle inlays that match the exterior colour. Unique taillights and a carbon matte interior package paired with a heated leather GT sports steering wheel underline the perfect balance of sportiness and luxury. Like the Taycan, illuminated door sill guards in carbon matte and a Head-Up Display highlight Porsche's attention to combining style with practical functionality. At Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, advanced technology meets traditional craftsmanship. Skilled artisans carefully handle premium materials like leather, Alcantara®, carbon fibre, wood, and aluminium. Every detail, from stitching to final finishes, is performed by hand, ensuring exceptional quality and uniqueness. These customised cars are not just vehicles—they reflect their owners' personalities and tastes. Even small elements receive extraordinary attention. The leather used by Porsche is sourced exclusively from Germany and Austria, carefully selected and thinned to precise specifications. This level of care ensures the interior is refined and comfortable. Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur thrives on the creativity of its customers, working closely with Porsche's Design Studio and engineers in Weissach. This partnership ensures continuous innovation and keeps the customisation programme dynamic and forward-thinking. Each Porsche leaving the Exclusive Manufaktur workshop is a result of this creative collaboration, turning imaginative ideas into extraordinary realities. In essence, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is more than just customisation—it's about creating cars with a distinct personality and character, uniquely reflecting their owners. Our experience with the Taycan 4S and Panamera vividly confirmed this, showcasing Porsche's seamless blend of luxury, innovation, and personal artistry.
