Although the identity of "001/001" can speak for itself, it does not need to prove anything. Under the guidance of the Porsche Sonderwunsch program, Porsche classic car experts created this unique 911.
After two and a half years, a Porsche 911 Carrera (996) from 1998 was transformed into the 911 Classic Club Coupe. The birthplace is actually the United States, where large displacement is king. It was built by the Porsche Club of America.
In a meeting, everyone came up with the idea, which was called "Project Grey" internally. The 996 Porsche 911 has always been treated differently, so everyone is more interested in transforming it to change its impression in people's minds.
Sport Gray Metallic is inspired by the 997 Porsche 911, and the body is also decorated with obvious white sports lines. The fixed rear wing is made of fiberglass reinforced material and is shaped like the duck tail of the 911 RS 2.7. There’s also an Easter egg in the high-mounted brake light, the “Classic Club Coupe” that lights up when braking.
In addition to the personalized atmosphere and details, the interior is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto functions, which is really time-traveling. This is why the Porsche classic car project keeps pace with the times. Progressive performance.
In terms of power, the 3.6-liter naturally aspirated engine has a maximum power of 381 horsepower. The chassis and braking system are all from the GT3 model of the same period. The calipers are spray-painted black, and the 18-inch wheels instantly sublimate its temperament.
For reference, 175,262 Porsche 911 (996) units were produced between 1997 and 2006. In response to stricter emissions regulations, the engine was changed from air-cooling to water-cooling. The maximum power of the early version of the GT3 model is 360 horsepower, and the later version has a maximum power of 381 horsepower. The Porsche Club of America is one of the sports car brand's oldest and largest clubs. It was founded in 1955 and has more than 145,000 members.
