Color and (especially) the seat belts confirm its a Club Coupe.
Love to hear the backstory on how they picked that particular Porsche to use in the show.

TV shows rent or borrow cars, sometimes they are lent by the automakers. This would be a strange car for Porsche to lend out directly.

I was lucky to see one in person when it was released. They had it at the Porsche Parade in French Lick IN, 2015. I saw it in house of cards the other night, while her characters morals may be suspect, her car game is not

I've had a crush on Neve Campbell since I saw Scream as a teen. Was nice to see a TV show give a character a nice car for once. Still waiting on a new GTI or something...producers suck a picking cars out for shows IMO.

The producers of the show called PCA HQ looking for a late model 911 in dark blue. After we determined to what extent the car would be use. We started looking around to see who owned a late model 911. After a few minutes, we thought of the club coupe. Not dark blue but blue and with a cool story. We knew two owners that lived close by. One was in Europe, the other in town. So the guy in town was contacted and agreed right away. Turned out the owner was a big fan of House of Cards as well. They ended up shooting more scenes with the car than they thought they would originally. I know all of this because the club coupe owner was a friend of mine who showed me photos they allowed him to take and told me the story. I'm hoping PCA picks it up for an article in EBrake soon.
