New special exhibition with anniversary model 911 Club Coupe
Starting today, the Porsche Museum is presenting “60 years of Porsche Clubs”
STUTTGART – May 28, 2012 The Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, museum is
presenting a new anniversary exhibition: In 1952, 13 Porsche drivers founded the world’s
first Porsche Clubs in Germany. The Porsche Club scene now numbers more than 181,000
members worldwide. To mark this 60th club anniversary, the Porsche Museum is putting on
a special exhibition until August 26, 2012 featuring, in addition to 12 vehicle exhibits, rare
photographs, personal documents and small exhibits from club members.
Porsche is using the anniversary as an opportunity to thank club members for their loyalty
over the decades with a special model. Limited to just 13 units worldwide, the 911 Club
Coupe is available exclusively to Porsche Club members and will make its debut in the
Porsche Museum. With a newly developed Powerkit upgrade to 430 hp, a SportDesign
exterior package and a refined interior, Porsche Excusive has created an extensively
individualized car. The 911 Club Coupe is painted “Brewster Green,” as are the 20-inch
SportTechno wheels, while its exclusivity is underlined by trim bearing the customer's name
and illuminated door entry guards bearing the model designation and anniversary logo.
One vehicle will remain with Porsche in honour of the Porsche Club universe. Porsche Club
members have until July 16, 2012 to register their right to purchase one of the 12 remaining
unique vehicles at www.porsche.com/911-club-coupe. The 12 winners will then be
determined by a legally certified draw. The 911 Club Coupe will be offered in all markets
worldwide with the exception of China and India. In Canada, the vehicle’s MSRP is $200,400.

Wow, that didn't take long. 13 units worldwide? Sounds like a part-bin fiasco.

I don't think too much should be made of this as a "new model" or "parts bin special". It's clearly a very low production tribute model for a special occasion. It does give a pretty good hint, though, as to what a future power kit or GTS style model will have horsepower wise. And it also suggests that the upcoming GT3 should have significantly more than the 430 HP in the power kit, if relative past numbers are any guide.

Interesting... When can I get the power kit in a standard S?

Green, huh...hmmm.
Like the 430HP powerkit, though - agree with Mike - this indicates GT3 base level power of at least 450-460HP.

Some years of the regular S had the extra radiator.
The last one was basically a high option Carrera S as this one appears to be. Other than a unique paint color, some special badges and some unique accessories; it is just a Carrera S with a bunch of normal options. I would expect the new one to be the same. Basically you will pay the price of an RS 4.0 to just a glorified Carrera S.

Ugh...already with the special editions? This is worse than US manufacturers back in the '80s. 50th or 75th anniversary I might be able to understand - but 60th? Seems like a lame excuse to make an ugly and expensive green car to me. And if Porsche really wants to "thank members for their loyalty", how about offering something more attainable?

Personally, I don't understand all the negativity. I actually like the color and think it looks great with the brown interior. Well equipped S with power kit, what's not to like? At 13 units with 12 for sale, I see it more as an options marketing excercise than a money maker.
