“ The 911 is the quintissential sports car – and my obsession.”
The best classic car is always an unrestored original
+ It comes as no surprise that Seinfeld is well versed in Porsche’s history, with all its twists and turns. He’s a perfectionist, no matter whether he’s filling the gaps in his collection, contracting the best in restoration, or looking for unrestored and low-performance classics that tell tales of the technical and industrial artistry of the workers of yesteryear. “To be honest, these time capsules are my favorite cars. They tell us so much of the materials back then, the working conditions, and the skilled hands that built them. I’d much rather find one of these cars than a restoration project. But sometimes you just have to turn to restoration when there are no unrestored originals left.” And Seinfeld knows the right people to help him on his search and fine tuning of his collection. “Porsche is a German company driven by engineers that keeps developing its models. And there are enough artists within the company and among the top restorers who get these technical miracles on the road again.” And what is the focus of this collection?
The 918 Spyder has what it takes to become an icon. Jerry’s already ordered one
+ “To bring together the highlights of the road and racing vehicles; to place the models next to each other that document the evolution and, by doing so, present the artistry of the technicians, designers, and workers who have made this constant flow of development pos‑ sible and continue to do so.” And does that also include new models? “Sure, of course – if they make it clear that they’re the start of a new chapter. Good collections show these leaps when new models open up new possibilities. That’s why I’ve also ordered a 918 Spyder. When Porsche installs a hybrid powertrain in a supercar, the result just has to be a milestone. ”
