Jerry Seinfeld Takes Delivery Of His $1.2M Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe

Since its debut in the automotive world in 1964, the coveted Porsche 911 has continued an ongoing legacy as the ultimate sports car. Earlier this month, Porsche Classic auctioned a special one-off car dedicated to the Porsche Club of America: the 911 Classic Club Coupe. The Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe sold for an astonishing $1.2 million to a private collector at the 75th Anniversary Porsche Auction held at the Porsche Experience Center in Atlanta, Georgia by Broad Arrow Auctions. Discovered through the community of passionate Porsche enthusiasts, the seven-figure 996 generation Porsche was purchased by none other than American comedian and Porsche fanatic Jerry Seinfeld.

Jerry Seinfeld just recently took delivery of the 911 Classic Club Coupe as part of a private event where he accepted the keys and took his first drive. Joining a collection that includes examples like the very first production Porsche 911, a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera RS, and countless other historic Porsches, the PCA 911 Classic Club Coupe is in good hands with Jerry Seinfeld. Now that the Porsche 911 Classic Club Coupe is safely in the hands of its proud owner, we hope to see Jerry Seinfeld displaying his new prized possession at future events.

Base Porsche 911 Still Plenty Fast In Autobahn Top Speed Run, Hits 194 MPH

Porsche offers the 911 in various models, but sticking to the basic Carrera with rear-wheel drive is a safe bet. Despite being the entry-level variant, it can easily outpace most cars on the Autobahn. A recent video showcases the base 911 being pushed to its limits, reaching its top speed.

Porsche has its own definition of what an entry-level version means, so even the rear-wheel-drive Carrera provides exhilarating acceleration when fully throttled. It can go from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.2 seconds (or 4.0 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package). At its maximum speed, it reaches 182 mph (293 km/h), although the digital speedometer in the video displays a slightly higher velocity.

The automaker unveiled the Mission X concept at its Museum in Zuffenhausen earlier this month—an all-electric hypercar that aims to become the fastest production vehicle to ever lap the Nurburgring. However, there is much more to this vehicle than just record-breaking ambitions, and a new video by TopGear provides us with all the details.

Let’s begin with the major news—the likelihood of an official production version. Although Porsche has yet to officially confirm it, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume hinted at the strong possibility of a production decision being made within the next month, stating that there are “good opportunities.”

Porsche, Microsoft Team Up For Special Race Livery Themed Xbox Series X

Porsche is making the most of its 75th anniversary with a series of events to commemorate its history. In addition to videos and concepts, it sponsored exhibits and art cars to showcase its heritage and direction for the future. Now Porsche has teamed up with Microsoft to produce a special edition of the Xbox Series X inspired by its cars.  

Revealed during the Summer Game Fest this week, the Xbox Series X consoles wear liveries of some of the most famous Porsche racing cars in the automaker’s history. Consisting of six different designs, the liveries of several iconic Porsche 917 cars are featured, including the 917/20 “Pink Pig” from the 1971 LeMans, the “Hippie” design of the 917LH, and the red and white livery of the winning 1970 car. Other liveries include the 1998 Porsche 911 GT1 Mobil 1, several versions of the Martini and Rossi cars, and a design commemorating the Porsche 963 car racing in this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. 

There will only be 75 of the Porsche-themed special edition Xbox consoles, each featuring a wireless Xbox controller in a matching design. Where do you find one of these consoles? That’s the rub. All 75 consoles are sweepstake prizes in a competition open to US, United Kingdom, and German residents over the age of 18. The sweepstakes event opened on June 8th and runs through October 1. Participants are limited to one entry per day on the Porsche Xbox Sweepstakes website.

Those of us who are not lucky enough to win one of the Porsche-themed Xbox consoles can console ourselves with the new Forza Motorsport. Expected out in October, the game launches with over 500 realistic cars, including the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray and the Cadillac Racing V-Series.R prototype racer. Also included are new tracks and a brand-new single-player mode allowing gamers to delve into the art of car-building. Even visually impaired gamers can get in on the action with the new Blind Driving Assists and One Touch Driving for people who need help pressing multiple buttons simultaneously.
