Porsche 911 Club Coupe: limited edition marks 60 years

Porsche 911 Club Coupe has been used to launch the ’60 Years of Porsche Clubs’ exhibition at the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen, Germany, marking the 1952 founding of the first ever Porsche Club.

Only 13 of the custom­-built Brewster Green 911 Club Coupes will be made, giving a nod to the original 13 Porsche Club members from its inaugural year. Making things even more exclusive, only twelve will actually be available as Porsche itself will retain one vehicle on behalf of Porsche Club World.

Based on the Porsche 911 Carrera S Coupe, the 911 Club Coupe is powered by a 3.8-litre six-cylinder boxer engine with direct injection tweaked with the Carrera S Powerkit to see 316kW at 7,500rpm (up 22kW compared to the 911 Carrera S) and a matching 440Nm of torque peaking 150rpm higher.

Powerkit includes modified cylinder heads and camshafts, centre radiator, newly developed variable resonance-type intake system, sports exhaust with two dual tailpipes, optimised engine management and Porsche’s Sport Chrono Package with dynamic engine mounts. The combination is enough to help the 911 Club Coupe bring up three figures from a standstill in 4.0 seconds using Porsche’s dual-clutch Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission and Sport Plus mode. Porsche is also offering its seven-speed manual gearbox as an option.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) are both standard as are the Brewster Green-trimmed 20-inch Sport Techno wheels (9×20 front, 11.5×20 rear). For the more serious club member, a fire extinguisher is also an option.

The car is distinguishable by its decorative ‘911 Club Coupe’ lettering on the doors, ala 911 Carrera GTS and Carrera 4 GTS, distinctive front spoiler and “duck tail” rear spoiler, plus a new titanium-coloured engine cover and carbonfibre inserts.



Inside the classic styling cues continue with natural leather in Espresso with Luxor Beige stitching, and brushed aluminium on the switch panel trim and PDK gear selector. A Bose audio system and Porsche Communication Management (PCM) ensure modern technology is still felt.
