[extract] When Porsche first opened its original museum in 1976, it was relatively small in size and it could hold around 20 cars at any given time.

Porsche has announced a special edition Porsche 911 Club Coupe to mark the 60th anniversary of the Porsche Club. Only 13 units will be built as the number represents the 13 original Porsche drivers who founded the world's first Porsche Clubs in Germany. Out of these 13 units, one will remain with Porsche while the rest will be up for sale. All 13 examples of the 911 Club Coupe are painted in a classic SAF-approved "Brewster Green" hue and rides on 20-inch SportTechno wheels. They feature the standard Sport Design Package that adds a revised front bumper and a 'ducktail' rear spoiler. The interior comes with special decorative trim with lettering individually created for each customer as well as illuminated door entry guards bearing the model designation and anniversary logo. The special edition 911 is equipped with the Carrera S Powerkit that lifts the output by 30bhp to 424bhp. Coupled with the PDK double-clutch transmission, the 911 Club Coupe completes the century sprint in 4.0 seconds. The standard PASM sports suspension allows the driver to drop the 911's ride height by as much as 20mm. The Porsche 911 Club Coupe will make its debut in the Porsche museum for the "60 years of the Porsche Club" special exhibition. Porsche Club members have until 16 July 2012 to register their right to purchase one of these 12 unique vehicles at www.porsche.com/911-club-coupe. With the exception of China and India, the 911 Club Coupe will be offered in all markets.
