2006 911 Carrera S Club Coupe

The 997.1 Club Coupe debuted in 2005 as a special edition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Porsche Club of America. Limited to just 50 examples for North America, it was based on the Carrera S and featured the exclusive Azurro California Metallic paint, a factory X51 Powerkit that increased output to 381 horsepower, and unique Club Coupe badging and interior trim. Combining enhanced performance with one-of-a-kind specification and extremely limited production, it has become one of the most collectible special editions of the 997 generation.

This 2006 911 Carrera S Club Coupe, number 6 of the 50 examples produced, came finished in Azzurro California over a Stone Grey leather interior and showed just six delivery miles. In addition to the standard kit, it was further optioned with more than $7,000 in Porsche Exclusive equipment, including the Aerokit and Porsche crests embossed in the headrests. Backed by a one-owner CarFax, this was about as close to a brand-new 997.1 Club Coupe as you’re ever likely to find.

The last 997 Club Coupe to cross the online auction block was back in March 2025, when a 59,600-mile example sold for $90,000. With just six delivery miles and the desirable factory Aerokit, the sky was the limit for our Spotlight Car. It ultimately failed to sell at a final bid of $300,000. My guess is the seller was looking to eclipse the prices we’ve recently seen for new 992 Club Coupes. After all, we’ll see more of those over the coming months, but you’re probably never going to find another 997 Club Coupe quite like this one.

Sell your Porsche without the drama.

When it was time to sell my beloved C4S, I had all the options available to me. I could have listed it privately, but I didn’t want to deal with weeks of inquiries from buyers who needed financing, lowballers (I know what I got!), or tire-kickers coming to my house. I could have gone the auction route, and I’m well versed there, of course, but I just didn’t have the time to properly list the car or manage the process. I’ve got writing to do.

In the end, I sold it to a dealer. It was simply easier, and the offer landed right in line with where I would have estimated it had I been writing about it here.

But I really wish I had known SML reader Niket was launching VinBidders.
