The 911 Classic Club Coupe, a special edition from Porsche based on the 996.2 GT3, took two-and-a-half years to perfect, starting from a 1998 model. Jerry Seinfeld set records by purchasing it for $1.3 million at the Porsche 75th Anniversary Auction, making it the most expensive 996-generation Porsche 911 ever sold.

It is celebrated as the original modern hypercar, merging advanced technology with iconic design.

With larger turbochargers, this delivered 508 hp and was among the first production cars to effortlessly exceed 200 mph.

Porsche’s 935, a race-ready 911 (930) Turbo, excelled by triumphing in the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans and 123 out of 370 races. Available for selection by teams in events such as IMSA GT and DRM, it has shaped Porsche’s racing legacy and served as the inspiration for the 2018 limited-run 935, with 77 units produced.

Weighing just 1,430 lbs, the Porsche 908 is a historic hypercar renowned for its lightweight design. Spyder dominated the 1970 Nürburgring 1000 km and Targa Florio, reaching speeds of 180 mph. Despite being heavier than the 849-lb Porsche 909, the 908 remained remarkably compact, with drivers’ legs extending beyond the front wheels.

Jerry Seinfeld’s collection includes the legendary 1964 Porsche 911, the first production model of this revolutionary rear-engined performance car. This first-generation 911 transformed the automotive world, and Seinfeld’s pristine example remains a remarkable time capsule from nearly sixty years ago.

The Porsche 917 is famous for its role in endurance racing and at Le Mans, with Jerry Seinfeld’s model being particularly special. This is the same 917 that Steve McQueen drove in the film Le Mans. This short-wheelbase “Kurzheck” 917K is a standout example and highly valuable due to its cinematic significance.

The Corvette Stingray wasn’t that rare or pricey when it first came out, but it quickly won over fans. Its later redesigns have kept the model popular over the years. Still, very few of the original 1963 versions are left, making Seinfeld’s nearly pristine Stingray especially noteworthy.

Widely regarded as one of the most beautiful cars of all time, the Jaguar E-Type, inspired by the D-Type that triumphed at Le Mans in the 1950s, has earned acclaim as a stunning sports car. In addition to being featured in countless movies and TV shows, the Series 2 E-Type features design tweaks mandated by the United States government.

This car became famous for sweeping the top three spots at the 1967 24 Hours of Daytona. While often called the Daytona, its official name is simply the 365. Sports Car International names it the top sports car of the 1970s, and Motor Trend Classic ranks it as the second-greatest Ferrari ever, with only 1,284 units produced.

1957 BMW 507 Series II

The BMW 507 was crafted by the renowned designer Albrecht von Goertz with the goal of filling the gap between pricey performance cars and more affordable sports models. BMW had planned to export it widely to the U.S., but the cost proved too high for mass sales. As a result, only 252 units were ever made.

Seinfeld once called the 300SL “as perfect as it comes for classic cars,” highlighting its legendary status. This iconic roadster excelled on the race track and held the title of the fastest production car of its time. The Gullwing’s timeless design is so iconic that it even appears in Mario Kart 8.

The Porsche 550, a rare racecar, was designed to conquer its era and won its debut race. The even rarer prototype 550, with only 15 made, is a prized gem for collectors, paving the way for one of Porsche’s most iconic models. This lightweight, mid-engine roadster was created for agility and speed, reflecting Ferdinand Porsche’s innovative engineering.
