Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe hits road with owner Jerry Seinfeld

The one-of-one Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe has hit the road for the first time with its owner Jerry Seinfeld.

The American comedian and collector took possession of his special Porsche 911 during the annual Porsche Parade staged by the club in Palm Springs, California.

Seinfeld paid US$1.2 million (approximately P67.16 million) for the one-of-one 911, which was built by classic car experts from Porsche Classic for the Porsche Club of America (PCA) using a 996 generation 911 Carrera.

According to Porsche, the chassis, brakes, and engine of the unique 911 Classic Club Coupe were taken from the 996.2 911 GT3.

The donor car, which PCA Executive Director Vu Nguyen found in a state of neglect in Colombia, Virginia, traveled to the Porsche Classic workshop near the main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen where it was originally built.

There, it went through total restoration, the process of which included disassembly and strengthening of the body-in-white using both original and newly developed components.

Under its hood is a naturally aspirated 3.6-liter flat-six that generates 381 horsepower.

“That this is a unique car will not surprise anyone who sees it, but a “No. 001/001” badge on the dashboard underscores its scarcity. A ducktail spoiler reminiscent of the 1972 911 Carrera RS 2.7, a double-bubble roof, 18-inch forged aluminum Fuchs wheels and unique paint combine to create a striking resemblance to the Type 997 911 Sport Classic. Those looks are only part of the story,” Porsche wrote in a press release.
