One-off Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe headed to auction
Classic Club Coupe, a collaboration between the automaker and the Porsche Club of America.
After four years of planning and building, Porsche first showed it a year ago —"it" being a 1999 996-series 911 Carrera 2 with a 996.2-series GT3 powertrain and heaps of additional special touches. It will go up for sale this summerAs a quick backgrounder, Porsche created the first Sport Classic in 2010.
This car is effectively a Sport Classic based on the previous-gen 911. Porsche never made such a car, and the automaker's Sonderwunsch division won't make another one of these. Tucked in back is the then-GT3's 3.6-liter flat-six and its 8,000-rpm redline, howling out 381 horsepower and 284 pound-feet of torque. The GT3 also donated its suspension,, six-speed manual gearbox, and side sills. Sheetmetal alterations count the double bubble roof and ducktail spoiler.
The cabin's Alcantara headliner lords over an interior trimmed in houndstooth and black, with blue contrast stitching. A Porsche Classic Communication Management Plus infotainment system will get the driver where they wish to go, a matching set of luggage will let the driver relax and stay awhile on arrival.
