What Porsche built and why it matters
Porsche unveiled the 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera T Club Coupe at the 2025 Porsche Parade in Oklahoma City. The car marks 70 years of the Porsche Club of America. Porsche will build 70 units for the U.S. and Canada. Initial sales target PCA members only.
This model is the third Club Coupe since 2005. Porsche uses these cars to honor PCA milestone anniversaries. The approach stays consistent: small volume, club-first allocation, and a unique specification tied to PCA history.
Production starts in fall 2025 and runs into spring 2026. Porsche will add the first example to the Porsche Museum. PCA will raffle the second car to members. Porsche will offer the remaining units to the club community. Porsche will announce pricing later.
The hardware: focused and manual
The Club Coupe uses the 911 Carrera T as its base. Porsche fits a 388 hp flat-six with a 6-speed manual transmission. The car includes a walnut shift lever from the factory. Porsche tunes the chassis for engagement, not theater.
Porsche equips the car with PASM Sport Suspension, which lowers ride height by 10 mm versus a standard Carrera. A mechanical limited-slip differential with Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) manages traction. The Sport Exhaust comes standard. So do rear axle steering, Sport Chrono, and a GT Sport steering wheel.
Brakes receive an upgrade compared to the prior 911 Carrera T. The front axle uses six-piston fixed calipers. The rear uses four-piston calipers. Both axles clamp 350 mm vented and cross-drilled rotors. Porsche built this hardware set for consistent feel and high repeatability.

The look: Sholar Blue and PCA cues
Paint carries the story. Porsche finishes every car in Sholar Blue. The shade reinterprets 2015 Club Blau in a metallic, Paint to Sample-style execution. Style Porsche, Exclusive Manufaktur, and PCA developed the color through many iterations since early 2023.
Porsche installs a SportDesign front fascia with red accents. The car rides on 20/21-inch RS Spyder wheels in Satin Black with Brilliant Silver accents. Club Coupe door logos and a rear 911 decal use Brilliant Silver as well. Guards Red grille slat inlays reference PCA colors. Mirror caps swap the Carrera T’s Vanadium Grey for Sholar Blue. A 70 year PCA grille badge completes the theme.

The cabin: light touch, strong identity
Open the doors and you see illuminated sills with Porsche Club of America lettering in a specific font. A door projector displays the PCA 70-year logo. The interior uses black leather with deviated stitching in Speed Blue and Guards Red. Seat belts and the 12 o'clock marker on the wheel use Guards Red. Porsche adds a PCA 70-year emboss on the center console lid. A Club Coupe logo appears on the dashboard trim.
Porsche offers an extended equipment package. Tartan seat centers use a PCA 70-year pattern. You also get Speed Blue stitching and Guards Red leather pull loops for the seat release. The owner's manual wallet gains Speed Blue stitching and Club Coupe 70 Years Porsche Club of America embossing. The key comes painted in Sholar Blue and sits in a black leather key pouch with Speed Blue stitching and an embossed Club Coupe logo.
The watch: one for owners only
Owners can buy the Chronograph 1 - 911 Club Coupe from Porsche Design. Craftspeople build it in Solothurn, Switzerland. The COSC-certified chronograph uses the WERK 01.140 caliber. A sapphire case back reveals a rotor shaped like the Club Coupe wheel, in Satin Black and Brilliant Silver, with a monochrome Porsche Crest center cap. The matte black dial carries white indices with Super-LumiNova luminous material. The dial adds Club Coupe and Porsche Club of America lettering. Buyers choose a titanium bracelet or a textile Velcro strap in PCA colors.

Context: what the Parade means for this car
The Porsche Parade packs autocross, concours, and education into one week. The program draws PCA members and brand fans each year. The event rotates locations. This format surfaces club identity and driving culture. Porsche used that stage for the Club Coupe reveal, which fits the car’s purpose.
Practical takeaways: what readers should do next
You care about allocation, build content, and long-term support. This section addresses that.
- Contact your PCA region leadership for timing and process details. The channel starts there.
- Decide on extended interior content early. The tartan treatment becomes a talking point at events.
- Budget for the Chronograph 1 - 911 Club Coupe if you want matching hardware. The rotor design mirrors the car.
- Track production milestones from fall 2025 through spring 2026. Plan delivery and storage.
Why this spec serves PCA members
The Carrera T base keeps weight low and features focused. The manual transmission sets the tone. The PASM Sport chassis and LSD with PTV build confidence on unfamiliar roads. The brake package supports repeated hard stops. The rear axle steering helps rotation at low and high speed. These choices reflect track days and road tours that define PCA events.
Design supports that mission. Sholar Blue ties back to Club Blau and older Azure Blue heritage. The Brilliant Silver graphics and Guards Red accents speak to club identity. The cabin details help owners show the anniversary theme at meets and concours.
Heritage, condensed
Porsche started the Club Coupe idea in 2005 with 50 units. The brand followed with 60 units in 2015. Now 70 units mark 70 years. The numbers tell the story. So do the colors and launch venues. Hershey in 2005. Atlanta and French Lick in 2015. Oklahoma City in 2025. Each car carried special paint and specific hardware. Each car entered the club narrative.
Bottom line for shoppers and editors
The 2026 Porsche 911 Club Coupe targets PCA members who value driving and heritage. The spec centers on the manual, PASM Sport, LSD with PTV, and rear axle steering. The look centers on Sholar Blue, Brilliant Silver graphics, and Guards Red accents. The interior and watch complete the package. The production window and allocation plan are clear. The message to the club is clear too.
In short: a 70-unit, manual-only, Sholar Blue Porsche 911 Club Coupe that speaks directly to PCA. It arrives during fall 2025–spring 2026 and channels club history with modern hardware. Porsche built it for the people who will use it most.
