Porsche
911 Carrera S Club Coupe (997.1, PCA 50 years)

Why it matters

The 2005 Carrera S Club Coupe began the Porsche Club of America Club Coupé tradition: a numbered, club-only 911 built for the PCA’s 50th anniversary. Only 50 were made, and the first car went into the Porsche Museum collection.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Porsche built a 50-unit run of the 911 Carrera S Club Coupe, on the 997.1 generation, to mark the semi-centenary of the Porsche Club of America. It made its debut at the 2005 Porsche Parade in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The first car, a 2005 model year, went into the Porsche Museum collection; the second was the first car ever raffled to members, and the rest were offered for sale within the club.

The cars had an X51 Powerkit that added 26 hp and 11 lb-ft to the 3.8-litre flat-six of the Carrera S, and were finished in Azurro California metallic, a modern take on the Azureblue popular on 356s when the PCA was founded.
