That's amazing. Recently, I heard that Jerry Seinfeld, who is known as a Porsche enthusiast, also once owned one.Porsche 917K is up for auctionI wrote about that in the article, but now the story is that Seinfeld's own Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition (Turbo S) has been sold at auction.
The price of this car when it was sold as a new car was $240,150 (in the US), which is about 37.7 million yen at today's rate. It was quite expensive for 10 years ago.
The price that was sold at auction this time was 435,000 dollars (approximately 68.3 million yen).
During a podcast appearance earlier this year, Seinfeld said he sometimes felt conflicted about his cars being sold because they "used to be owned by Seinfeld," and would rather see them sold for the specialness of the cars themselves.
However, the title of the item listed for auction this time was "Jerry Seinfeld's 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition Turbo S Coupe" - Jerry Seinfeld's 2014 Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition Turbo S Coupe.
Well, I don't know who put it up for sale or how, but if it has Seinfeld's name on it, it's bound to be used, unless you secretly put it up for sale privately on eBay or somewhere else, hiding your name.
What's more, the car's dashboard plate apparently has Jerry's initials engraved on it. So if you put it up for sale without writing anything on it, people will probably ask, "What is this?"
What's more, there is apparently a signature of car designer Tony Hatter on the back of the front trunk, which makes it clear that there is something different about this car.
By the way, Tony Hattar was the person in charge of designing Porsche's 993, 993 Turbo, GT1, 996 GT3, 996 GT2, 997 GT2, and Carrera GT.
The 911 fly line and wing on top of the sign is so cool!
Not only does it have an impressive signature from the owner and under the hood, but this 911 is PTS finished in graphite gray and comes with options worth $58,000 (approximately 9.11 million yen).
Other features include LED headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, front and rear park assist, electric sunroof, 50th Anniversary Edition badging, clear taillights, a set of 20-inch Sport Classic wheels (with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres), PCCB, rear-axle steering, PDCC and PASM.
Inside, you'll also find personalized floor mats, aluminum pedals, a satellite navigation system, leather-wrapped air vents, Burmester, personalized trim ("50 Jahre 911" to represent the 50th anniversary and a special "Special for JS" for Seinfeld), a Sport Design steering wheel and the Sport Chrono Package.
Apparently all of the options were chosen by Seinfeld himself.
The mileage is approximately 3,700 miles (about 6,000 km).
In terms of performance, it is equipped with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine with a factory-rated output of 560 horsepower and around 700 Nm of torque (up to around 750 Nm with the Sport Chrono), coupled with a 7-speed PDK.
Still, 68 million yen seems like quite a pricey amount...
When I first encountered this model a long time ago, I didn't know about the 50th anniversary model.I was so moved that I shouted "So cool!!"I thought.

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Ever since Porsche 911 became my favorite car, I've become totally addicted to Porsche, and I can't stop loving Porsche, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are 911 Carrera (991.2), 911 Carrera Cabriolet (992.1), and 911 Carrera T (992.1).
