FERDINAND ALEXANDER "BUTZI" PORSCHE | PORSCHE 911 PIONEER


Ferdinand Alexander "Butzi" Porsche was the visionary designer behind the iconic Porsche 911. Overcoming early setbacks like being expelled from design school and facing internal opposition, he boldly commissioned an external contractor to build his prototype.

This act of determination resulted in the revolutionary 911, a car that not only became a symbol of automotive excellence but also cemented Porsche's brand identity and Butzi's enduring legacy in the industry.

FIRST EVER PORSCHE 911 WAS BOUGHT.BY JERRY SEINFELD


Jerry Seinfeld Owns The First 911 Porsche Ever Built

For Jerry Seinfeld, it’s always been more than just comedy, it’s cars, legacy, and pure automotive obsession. And now, he owns a piece of Porsche history that most collectors could only dream of: the very first Porsche 911 ever built.

Yes, you heard that right.

This isn’t just any vintage 911. This is Ferry Porsche’s original personal 911, chassis number 300.001, the car that started it all. A sleek, simple, rear-engine masterpiece from 1964 that laid the blueprint for six decades of performance and prestige.

Back in the day, Ferry Porsche drove this exact model himself. It’s the alpha 911. The beginning of Porsche’s most iconic bloodline. And today, it lives in the private collection of none other than Jerry Seinfeld, a man who owns over 40 rare Porsches and treats them like sacred art.

Restored to absolute perfection, this first-gen beauty still runs its original 2.0L flat-six engine with around 130 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. No turbos. No electronics. Just raw, classic Porsche engineering.

Why is this car such a big deal?

Because it’s the genesis. It’s the car that transformed Porsche from a niche sports car company into a global symbol of speed and style. And the fact that a Porsche fanatic like Seinfeld owns it? That’s poetic.

He didn’t just buy a car. He bought the beginning of an era.
