as members have first dibs on the entire production series. The purchasing process for the 911 Club Coupe is done completely over a special website (www.porsche.com/911clubcoupe), which contains details, terms and conditions. In the highly unlikely event that the club's members do not purchase the complete stock of 48 units by the open purchase date of August 15th, 2005, the remaining cars will be made available to the general public.
