Jerry Seinfeld Owns The First 911 Porsche Ever Built

For Jerry Seinfeld, it’s always been more than just comedy, it’s cars, legacy, and pure automotive obsession. And now, he owns a piece of Porsche history that most collectors could only dream of: the very first Porsche 911 ever built.

Yes, you heard that right.

This isn’t just any vintage 911. This is Ferry Porsche’s original personal 911, chassis number 300.001, the car that started it all. A sleek, simple, rear-engine masterpiece from 1964 that laid the blueprint for six decades of performance and prestige.

Back in the day, Ferry Porsche drove this exact model himself. It’s the alpha 911. The beginning of Porsche’s most iconic bloodline. And today, it lives in the private collection of none other than Jerry Seinfeld, a man who owns over 40 rare Porsches and treats them like sacred art.

Restored to absolute perfection, this first-gen beauty still runs its original 2.0L flat-six engine with around 130 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. No turbos. No electronics. Just raw, classic Porsche engineering.

Why is this car such a big deal?

Because it’s the genesis. It’s the car that transformed Porsche from a niche sports car company into a global symbol of speed and style. And the fact that a Porsche fanatic like Seinfeld owns it? That’s poetic.

He didn’t just buy a car. He bought the beginning of an era.

The Porsche 917/30 featured one of the most powerful racing engines ever built: a 5.4-liter flat-12 twin-turbo monster that dominated the Can-Am series in the early 1970s.

🔹 Configuration: Flat-12 (boxer)
🔹 Displacement: 5,374 cc (5.4 liters)
🔹 Induction: Twin-turbocharged
🔹 Max Power: Around 1,100 hp in race trim, but could reach 1,500 hp in qualifying mode
🔹 Torque: Over 1,100 Nm
🔹 Weight of 917/30: Around 850 kg
🔹 Top Speed: Over 400 km/h (250 mph)

This engine was an evolution of the naturally aspirated Porsche 917 engine that had already proven its dominance at Le Mans. However, for Can-Am racing, Porsche engineers pushed the limits of turbocharging, creating an absolute beast that left competitors in the dust.

The Porsche 917/30 was so dominant in 1973 that rule changes were introduced to limit its performance. To this day, its flat-12 twin-turbo engine remains one of the most powerful race engines ever built.
