Jerry Seinfeld is an American comedian, stand-up artist, writer, producer, and actor. The comedian has a huge collection of 150 cars and 46 of them are iconic Porsche models, and all these 150 cars have an estimated worth ranging from $75 million to $100 million.
Among his cars, his Porsche collection is more famous, as he once owned around 80 units from the Stuttgart manufacturer. Even now, he still owns at least 30 Porsche cars in his massive car collection while the rest of the 16 Porsche models have been sold for a staggering $22,244,500 At the Gooding Amelia Auction back in 2016.
37. 1998 Porsche 993 (Last air-cooled 911)
Seinfeld bought the very last production air-cooled Porsche—a 993 Carrera 4S in Mexico Blue—in 1998. The car also boasts just 26K miles plus tons of documentation and service history, but so what? Low-mileage, pampered 911s are a dime a dozen. Even the “one owner” isn’t anything to write home about.

Engine | 3.6L Flat-6 |

The 993, the version of the 911 built from 1994-98, is arguably the prettiest generation of Germany’s sports car. The changes from previous 911s were numerous and extensive, and one particularly relevant to Seinfeld’s car is the layout of the popular Targa model. Whereas previous 911 Targas had a removable, stowable center roof section, the 993 Targa introduced a power-retractable glass roof.
36. 1996 Porsche 911 Targa
Seinfeld bought the Targa and checked quite a few option boxes when he ordered the 911 Targa. He specified sporty things like stainless steel oval exhaust pipes and the "engine sound package," which included a modified airbox. The car also featured the available limited-slip differential and what Porsche called the "automatic brake differential," which was a form of traction control that used anti-lock brakes to slow a slipping wheel.

Seinfeld also ordered quite a few technical upgrades, including cruise control. The car received a Becker cassette stereo and a six-disc CD changer, which hides under the hood. He also got upgrades for the amp and speakers. The optional on-board computer is quaint by modern standards, with a display below the tachometer offering outside temperature, a digital speedometer, a trim odometer, average speed, average mpg, and distance to next fill-up functions.
35. 1993 Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8
The air-cooled Porsche 911 market has been in the spotlight for many years but over the last decade its market exploded with absurd auction prices. Additionally, the Stuttgart-made special editions with micro mileage run are the crown jewels of these models. And, one of those special cars was Jerry Seinfeld's 1993 Porsche 964 Carrera RSR 3.8 which got sold for a whopping $2.25 million back in 2017 at the RM Sotheby's Villa Erba event.

34. 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS
Those who truly understand the value of structural supremacy and the heritage that comes with vintage car models know how important it is to keep those values alive. One of those stories belongs to Seinfeld's 911 Carrera RS. Back in 2014 when Jerry was doing his morning workouts on the streets of Hamptons, a middle-aged lady smashed her BMW into Jerry's Carrera RS totally damaging his precious Porsche.

In an interview with New York Newspaper, Jerry said, “Ask anyone who has ever driven one of these and they will tell you the same thing. There is something about this car that feels perfect”.
33. 1970 Porsche 911 S ‘Henri’
Jerry Seinfeld became famous as a comedian and later all that fame worked in his favor while running his own show named Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.

32. 1964 Porsche Carrera 904 GTS
In the world of racing, probably the most revolutionary move was to incorporate a fiberglass body into the chassis ensuring structural rigidity. For Porsche, the Carrera 904 GTS was the first-ever model to utilize a fiberglass body which not only reduced the weight of the vehicle but also increased the structural rigidity of the car. All of these implementations came in handy back in 1964 when competing in the FIA-GT class racing.

31. 1952 Porsche 356 America Roadster
When two hard-headed automotive nuts meet at a classic car roadshow it definitely heats up the air in the place especially when those two names involved are Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno. Back in July 2022, Jay and Jerry met at a classic car road show in Malibu Country Mart where Seinfeld rode his rare Steel Blue 1952 Porsche 356 America Roadster. To make it more interesting, currently, there are only 11 of these America Roadsters exist making Jerry's open-top enthusiast-focused Porsche a rare delicacy.

30. 1968 Porsche 907K
Whenever we talk about brands like Ferrari and Porsche the first thing that automatically comes to mind is 24 Hours of Le Mans. Porsche has been going a big time at the Le Mans for a very long time and established their standing in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Well, all of this rich Le Man's legacy wouldn't have been possible without the infamous Porsche 907K Longtail which was the first Porsche to win a 24-hour Le Man back in 1968 driven by Vic Elford, Jo Siffert, Hans Herrmann, Jochen Neerpasch, and Rolf Stommelen.

Additionally, there are only two models of this Porsche exist making it the rarest Porsche model in history.
29. 1976 Porsche 934 Turbo RSR
The Porsche 934 was the forgotten child of the company's 911 racing lineup created back in the '70s. The only credit it got was because of the noticeable wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring three times each. The car was heavy with 2,470 lbs dry weight and to make it faster, Porsche embarked on a modification journey on 31 units of its models.

Applied aluminum roll cage and front strut X-brace were just starters while the existing engine was fitted with a bigger turbo, 16" BBS wheels, Bosch K-Jetronic injection from the 930, etc resulting in a menacing Porsche racing demon that Seinfeld bought back in 2018. He even posted a picture of his 934 Turbo RSR saying, “Just arrived in US. 1 of 31. So excited".
28. 2019 Porsche 911 Speedster Type 991.2
Creating history is nothing new for Porsche but the German automaker company took it a step further by creating one of its old Porsche model's modern-take. It was in the late '50s when Porsche introduced their enraging roadsters and with only 2,922 units, the 1959 356A Convertible D became a cult in the automotive market. All of that history took a turn in 2019 when Porsche decided to make only 2 customized speedster models over the Type 991 influence as a request from Ferry Porsche and Jerry Seinfeld.

25. 1949 Porsche 356 Gmünd Coupe
Jerry owns two 356 Gmund Coupe models but the 1949 model is a special one considering it was made with mostly Volkswagen auto parts and it took two years for the model to be finished.

On the other hand, the 1949 Gmund had a rear-engine and rear-wheel drive establishing its superior on-road handling prowess.
24. 1966 Porsche 356C SC Dutch Polizei
One of the most ultra-rare Porsche cars in Seinfeld's collection is the 1966 Porsche 356C SC Dutch Polizei.

However, the company that purchased the car, Fica Frio, raised questions about its authenticity and filed a lawsuit against him for selling a counterfeit car. Later on, after years, in 2019, the lawsuit was settled by Seinfeld as he also claimed to have been duped by the car seller who sold him the car: European Collectibles. However, the terms of the settlement were not revealed. It is said that only one 1958 Porsche 356 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster was finished in that color, which is what makes it so rare and valuable.
7. 1990 Porsche 962C:
The 962C was a racing sports car that took part in the European Group C formula racing, which was specific to sports car racing only. Jerry sold this car for a sum of $1,650,000, which was completely restored and came finished in a white exterior paint.

Also, the car was made for Ferry Porsche, the son of Porsche’s founder. As a result, it was equipped with a sunroof, got metallic paint, and also featured leather seats. When released, the 911 was available only as a coupe model. The Targa top was introduced in 1966, whereas the convertible joined the lineup in 1982.

The RSK in the name signified something. The RS in Porsche Terms stands for RennSport, which means Sport racing and the K stands for the K-shaped torsion bar suspension it used. It is said that Seinfeld’s car has a chassis number 718-019, and the number plate reads “1959RSK”. The car is the 19th model that Porsche built, and it might have been made for the 1960 racing season, as it featured the 1.6L engine and not the 1.5L flat-4.
3. 1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder:
The 1973 Porsche 917/30 Can-Am Spyder was another car that was auctioned for a price of $3.0 million. The auction saw the car sell for much less than what the estimated price was: somewhere between $5 million to $7 million. Despite fetching a much lesser value than expected, Seinfeld still decided to sell the car. Seinfeld drove the car on the track a few times but never pushed it to its complete capability.

This race car was developed by project manager Manfred Bantle. The 908/03 in Jerry’s collection has the chassis number 008. It was driven by Jo Siffert and Brian Redman for the Targa Race. The racecar had the perfect 45-55 weight distribution and was extremely lightweight at 1,100 lbs. Jerry Seinfeld has described the car as his “most treasured possession”, and that explains why it did not go under the hammer.
1. 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder:
The most valuable Porsche that Jerry Seinfeld owned was the 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder. This car fetched $5,335,000, the most for all his Porsches when it was put up for auction alongside the 15 other Porsche cars. The 550 Spyder was auctioned by Gooding and Co. at the Amelia Island sale in 2016, and it laid the foundations for a world record auction price for the 550 Spyder.
