Default Seinfeld Buys the World's Most Expensive 996

He shelled out $1.3 Million for the Porsche Classic Club Coupe. He has earlier stated money means nothing to him.

Porsche calls it the Classic Club Coupe—a product of the Sonderwunsch (special request) program dating to the late 1970s, through which Porsche Classic and Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur make it possible to design individualized, one-off cars, co-created by the client and Porsche. Experts from a wide range of fields, depending on the project, handle the client’s request and have expertise in current and classic vehicles. This 911 Classic Club Coupe marks the first commission within the Sonderwunsch program that’s based on what Porsche considers a classic vehicle: the 996-generation 911.

{edit: The 996 Sally Special (a one off designed to resemble the 996 in the movie Cars) sold for $3.6 Million with the proceeds going to charity}

Didn't know it was Jerry that bought it.

Always enjoyed the show and admired his collection. Glad to hear he appreciates the 996.

I love this, not just because I own a 1999 996... but.. well... okay that is the main reason.

Excuse me, but Mr. Voigt would not be caught in such a plebian car. His chariot of choice was the Chrysler Le Baron.

Great! Maybe I'll see it in person if Jerry takes it to All American Burger in Massapequa, where he's taken some others of his iconic cars.

I’ll bet on Easthampton…(unless he takes it to visit Mr Bevilaqua).

Jerry are you on here? If so please share how she drives. It has to be the most amazing experience. Is the steering as good as I think it is?
