To Help Porsche Club of America celebrate 70 years, Porsche revealed the 2026 Porshe 911 Club Coupe, a limited-edition version of the beloved Carrera T.
The Porsche Club of America turned seventy this year. To honor that feat, Porsche revealed a special-edition, limited-edition Carrera T. Called the Club Coupe, Porsche will build just 70 of these Carrera T based 911 models to congratulate its largest club in the world. A once a decade tradition that started in 2005, when the PCA turned 50. We now have three Club Coupes in existence. And, in my opinion, it’s the best yet.
I love the Carrera T. After driving a few over the years, I enjoyed the experience in each and every one as I find it, in many ways, the best road going Porsche you can buy. Take a base Carrera, sharpen its reflexes, and enjoy. And, mechanically, Porsche provided exactly that.
Carrera T Specs
Afterall, you still get the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flax-six engine that pumps out 388 horsepower and 331 lb.-ft of torque. That still mates up with a six-speed manual transmission, your only option, and then sends power on to the rear wheels. Accelerate to 60 mph from rest in just 4.3-seconds with the right amount of power and clutch engagement. Keep your foot in it and eventually see 183 mph on the speedometer.
Handling wise, Porsche mounts a staggered set of wheels 20s up front and 21s in the rear. And the PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) sport suspension, which rides 0.4-in lower to the ground (10mm lower) and uses a slightly stiffer setup to keep the body flat and the steering response sharp and you go through the corners.
Moreover, you get standard rear-axle steering to air maneuverability at low speeds and stability at high speeds. Using that system also allowed Porsche to speed up the steering rack ratio, to sharpen response further. As you add power, a torque vectoring limited-slip diff helps apply it to the ground appropriately. Finally, you get a sport exhaust to supply the proper volume during your driving experience.
Making it a Club Coupe
That means aesthetics make the 2026 Club Coupe stand out. Most notably, Porsche coats the car in a beautiful deep blue paint named Sholar Blue Metallic. Porsche started with a paint called Club Blau and put a metallic spin on it. By the way, Club Blau made an appearance 10 years ago as well, more on that in a moment.
Up front you also see Guards red accented on the lower front grille, to add a bit of splash. Conversely, the Sholar Blue Metallic replaces Vanadium gray to blend in with the rest of the body. But beneath that, at the base of the front of the door, you see “Club Coupe” adorned in Brilliant Silver.
While the wheels remain the same size, Porsche used RS Spyder wheels with a Satin black finish and Brilliant Silvera accents. It’s a compelling combination that makes the rear 911 decal, also in Brilliant Silver, fit right in. Finally, a “70 year PCA” badge sits on the passenger side of the rear grille.
Inside Details
More PCA flourishes pop up inside. To start, illuminated door sills say “Porsche Club of America.” And PCA 70 year logo puddle lamps light as you open the door. You also see the same logo embossed on the center console lid and Club Coupe on the dashboard trim.
The interior is black, but with Speed Blue and Guards Red stitching used on the seats belts and steering wheel. And you can optionally add an extended equipment package, which includes several more specific interior details. tartan fabric seat center, more stitching, and more logos embossed in more places.
You even get a custom watch.
The first two Club Coupes
The 2026 Club Coupe marks the third iteration of a special PCA edition 911 and follows the same tradition of limiting production to the number of years of the club’s existence. This tradition started to mark the 50-year anniversary of the club, in 2005.
For that milestone, Porsche used a 997.1 generation 911 Carrera S Club Coupe to celebrate. That time a modern version of Azure Blue coated the car, bearing the name Azurro California Metallic.
For 60 years, Porsche started with a 911 Carrera GTS Club Coupe, from the 991.1 generation. It was painted in Club Blau, the same color that inspired this year’s model. Both of those cars enjoyed naturally aspirated power from a 3.8-liter flat-six, unlike the twin-turbocharged horizonally opposed engine in this one.
Summary
Revealed at the 2025 Porsche Parade in Oklahoma City. The stunning, 2026 Porsche Club Coupe really draws the eye. And I think it’s the best looking one yet. The Carrera T also stands near the top of my dream car garage. Now I know what color I want it to be.
