How the PCA 70th Anniversary 911 Club Coupe was developed

This is a special episode that was recorded several weeks ago since this car was still a secret. It is split into three sections because we wanted to interview the key people involved with the development of the newly announced PCA70 911 Club Coupe. We start off with PCA President Aaron Ambrosino, who details how the Executive Council conveyed their wishes to the staff the Porsche Exclusive. We then bring on Michael Tam, PCNA's Product Manager for sports cars, who details how special cars like this are planned and executed. Lastly, we bring on Alexander Fabig, VP of Individualization & Classic at Porsche AG, and Grant Larson, renowned designer and Director Special Projects, Style Porsche, Porsche AG. They give us the story of what happened with the car in Germany and how so many of the special details came to life. PCA Club Coupes only come around every ten years, so we are super excited to bring you behind the scenes.
