Anybody have more information about or confirmation of a "special" factory or museum deliver for the Club Coupe?

It would be helpful to the rest of us to know what " my dealer was very fair" in terms of pricing. Is this a secret?

Here's 60th Club Coupe #1 in the wild...at California Festival of Speed this weekend in Fontana, CA. The "club blau" is stunning in person.

Beautiful! Needs clear front turn lenses though. Sounds like it's as good or better in person?

Beautiful car and beautiful color! It appears to be the same color as one of my several bright blue fishing shirts.

I won't even pretend to be objective on this car, but I had a very strong positive reaction to the color in person. It's an absolute head-turner. This will not be a car for shy people.

Great to hear. It looks stunning. Too bad houndstooth seat inserts aren't an option. Seems as though that would be very cool with the exterior color.

It needs more letters. Below PORSCHE, 911 Carrera GTS they should add Club Coupe. Then below that Number 1 of 60. Or even better, Number One of Sixty. Why let all that rear end go to waste?

But seriously, it really is a nice blue. Blau. Whatever…

If I were lucky enough to get one, the first thing I'd do is take it to Tony Garcia at Autobahn Interiors to get some Pepita inserts done!

I agree, there's way too much goin' on back here, but "badge delete" is a no-cost option, which will give you only the word P O R S C H E (no sub-text). You can also configure the model designation to read only "911," if you wish.
I'm really ambivalent about this, but I've got a few months to make my decision.



I edited the badging on my 2011 GTS, going from the 3D plastic "Carrera GTS" to the flat matte black "GTS" only. Deleted the word "Carrera" from my doors, too...just "GTS" there, also. Simple.

Now that a few of you have seen it in person, how low is that front spoiler? Is it going to be easily scraped? Too bad the "GT3 raise up the front end" option will not work on the GTS.

I agree 100% about the clear lenses. Perhaps they can change the 59 cars prior to being built

So for those of you that are already on the list, and for those who hope to be added to that list tomorrow, how do you plan to use the Club Coupe:

1. Garage queen - plan to put no miles on it and retire on this investment
2. Parade pony - it will only leave the garage for parades and occasional PCA events
3. Weekend princess - will be my weekend source of enjoyment (full xpel wrap of course)
4. Daily driver - this thing is going to put a smile on my face everyday!

Definitely number 4....a daily driver (more or less). This car is not an investment. It will depreciate like any other car, albeit maybe slower. While it will not be abused, I'm not looking to get my money back. I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

3 for me. I plan to use it, but ideally for highest and best use miles. Probably translates to a few thousand miles a year, with the occasional road trip thrown in.

Excited and feeling fortunate at the prospect of three great weekend toys!
