Jerry Seinfeld | 1955 Porsche 550 RS Spyder

Laughing his way to success—no pun intended—comedian and actor Jerry Seinfeld has achieved considerable success in his career, having starred in numerous television shows and several cinematic movies, with his fortune increasing correspondingly. What better way to spend his fortune than to buy a 1955 Porsche 550 RS Spyder? The mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car that delivers 110 horsepower can reach a top speed of 218 km/h using the four-gear manual transmission. It can also accommodate two persons, including the driver. It was introduced in the 1953 Paris Motor Show.

Built from aluminum, the tubular-framed body of the Spyder was made to rule the tracks. It is quick and has responsive handling even though it has a tendency to oversteer on tight corners of the circuit. Overall, the performance of the roadster was exceptional at the time. Driving the Spyder invokes a visceral and intoxicating feeling despite its additional level of luxury—car insurance is certainly needed for this one.
