"When it comes to car enthusiasts, few celebrities are as dedicated-or as discerning-as Jerry Seinfeld. The legendary comedian has long been synonymous with fine-tuned humor and even finer automobiles. His collection, often spotlighting Porsche 's most iconic builds, reflects a lifelong devotion to both engineering excellence and timeless design. Among Seinfeld's most remarkable acquisitions is his 1971 Porsche 911S Coupe, a car that bridges vintage beauty with contemporary precision."
"The result is a masterclass in restoration and modification: a car that preserves the 911's original charm while receiving mechanical and aesthetic updates that push its performance and refinement far beyond its 1970s origins. To appreciate what makes this 911S special, one must first understand the significance of RUF. Founded in 1939 and later becoming a certified manufacturer in its own right, RUF has spent decades refining Porsche models into some of the most desirable driving machines on the planet."
"Seinfeld's decision to send his 911S to RUF wasn't an act of indulgence; it was a pursuit of purity. Over the span of three years, RUF engineers meticulously reimagined the coupe-honoring its historical foundation while elevating its capabilities to meet modern expectations. Every component, from the powertrain to the paint finish, received the kind of obsessive attention to detail that Seinfeld himself is known for in his craft."
Jerry Seinfeld owns a 1971 Porsche 911S Coupe that he purchased in 2008 and commissioned to RUF Automobile GmbH in Pfaffenhausen, Germany. RUF was founded in 1939 and later became a certified manufacturer, specializing in refining Porsche models. RUF spent three years meticulously reimagining the 911S, preserving its historical foundation while elevating performance, mechanical systems, and aesthetics. The car received obsessive attention to every component, from powertrain to paint finish, aiming to create a driver's car rather than a showpiece. The original 2.2-liter flat-six produced around 180 horsepower before RUF's precision upgrades.
