Switching to TFT Racing for 2023,[30] Klein won both races at the Red Bull Ring and took more wins at Magny-Cours and Le Mans to finish third in points.[31][32][33] Towards the end of the year, Klein joined Target Competition for the Imola round of Porsche Carrera Cup Italy.[34] In the two races, Klein won race one from the pole and finished third in race two.[35][36]
Klein returned to CLRT for the 2024 Porsche Supercup season, winning at Spa and ending the season third in points.[37] The French driver also returned to Target Competition to race in both Porsche Carrera Cup Germany and Porsche Carrera Cup Italy. In the former, Klein took a lone win at the Hungaroring and finished the season 10th in points.[38] In the latter, Klein swept the second Imola round and also won at Mugello to finish third in points and helping the team win the team's championship.[39][40][41]
In 2025, Klein stayed with ABM for a seventh season in Porsche Carrera Cup France and also joined Proton Huber Competition,[42][43] BeDriver and Lechner Racing to remain in Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, Porsche Carrera Cup Italy and Porsche Supercup.[44][45] In the former, Klein won at Misano and Le Castellet to end the year runner-up in points,[46][47] while in the German series, Klein stood on the podiums at Imola and Zandvoort to end the season tenth in points.[48] In Italy, Klein won both races at Imola and scored further wins at Mugello and Misano as he ended the season runner-up to Keagan Masters,[49] while in Supercup, Klein won at the Red Bull Ring and finished on the podium at Barcelona en route to a fourth-place points finish.[50]
