The one-off 911 Classic Club Coupe will be auctioned later this year, as part of Porsche’s 75th anniversary celebrations.
Developed via the company’s Sonderwusch (special wishes) programme, the bespoke 996-generation car was completed last year.
A tribute to the Porsche Club of America (PCA), the 1999 Classic Club Coupe will be sold in June at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, Georgia.
Celebrating the Porsche 996
The Classic Club Coupe was intended to give the ‘unjustly overshadowed’ 996-generation 911 some attention. Alexander Fabig, head of individualisation and classic at Porsche, said the car demonstrates what “Porsche Classic and the recently expanded Sonderwunsch programme of Porsche” can do.
Inspiration came from the 2009 Porsche 911 (997) Sport Classic, a limited-edition model not sold in the United States.
An unloved 1999 Porsche 911 was sourced from an American dealership, then shipped home to the company’s headquarters in Zuffenhausen, Germany.
It was then returned to bare metal, before gaining a coat of Paint to Sample Sport Grey Metallic paint. Full-length stripes in Sport Grey Light and thin border stripes in Club Blau were added, too.
A truly unique Porsche 911
A handmade ducktail rear spoiler was fitted, along with a unique ‘double bubble’ roof. A set of 18-inch Fuchs alloy wheels, along with a custom interior with Pepita houndstooth twill trim and blue stitching, continue the classic theme.
Power comes from a 996.2-generation 911 GT3 flat-six engine, which serves up 376hp and 284lb ft of torque. This is mated to a manual gearbox, with GT3-spec suspension and brakes also fitted.
The result is a truly one-off Porsche 911 that boasts exclusive style and enhanced performance. It spent much of 2022 on tour across the United States, starring at major PCA events.
The Classic Club Coupe will be sold by Broad Arrow Auctions on 8-10 June, and is listed without reserve.
