Default PCA 60th GTS Club Coupe Preview Event (Pics)

I was fortunate to be able to attend the preview of the Porsche Club of America 60th Anniversary GTS Club Coupe at the PCA HQ yesterday. PCA Director Nguyen and Past President Alban were on hand to present background to the limited edition build features. Fun event and a great looking car. (sorry for iphone pics)

That car looks stunning!! The first pictures I saw of this car it almost looked purple, I'm glad it wasn't. Really liking this color. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Very nice, but I agree about the smoking package, but I don't think I would decline because of that!

Looks great; I really like the Fuchs rims on it. Agree about the smoking package. Looks like they also left out the little net in the passenger footwell. Guess they passed on all of Porsche's "free" options.

I'm pretty lukewarm on the club coupe. It doesn't seem all that special to me. I would have liked more differentiation from the anni and gts models. No idea how to accomplish that though.

Not this way, I hope...
Parts in the box are limited, otherwise it would be a full custom version, but not from Porsche factory.

wow, everyone in the first pic looks like they just got in on the " red eye " , esp the blonde woman on the far right , or are listening to a facilitator at a corporate " team building " retreat ....a tiny bit improved in the fourth pic !

I really like the model, but for me it would have been more special with club blau stitching instead of red and with blue seat belts and a blue stripe at 12 o clock on the steering wheel.
Even the steering wheel stitching should have been all blue, vs blue/red

LOL, well put! I noticed the same thing but feared some of them may be on this board.

I'm in ATL, could have gone, but I'm not a fan of the color, don't want one of them, and from the looks of the picture I didn't miss much excitement!

Very true about the missing/wrong details.
But that Club Blau exterior is simply stunning to me. I'll take my GT4 in that color please. Oh, say what? No PTS on GT4! Allright, no GT4 until you figure your s$$t out Porsche Exclusive.

They missed the boat just a little on this one. Now if I had some input on it, I'd have spec'ed a 'double bubble' roof on it, a GT3 Wing and front splitter...but its good they didn't because I'd have had to buy one if they did.
