LA 2008: Jerry Seinfeld's sublime Porsche 550 Spyder
 
Alongside the facelifted Cayman and Boxster, Porsche brought this gorgeous 1955 550 RS Spyder owned by none other than car nut Jerry Seinfeld. While we love the silver in which we usually see this car painted, the light blue really makes it stand out. The 550 Spyder holds a special place in the hearts of Porsche fans, giving the make its first overall win back in the 1956 Targa Florio. Just 70 examples were produced, making it one of the most valuable Porsches, as well. Power comes from a 1.5L air-cooled aluminum flat-4 producing 110 horsepower and 88.5 lb-ft torque. That might not sound like much, but the motor only had to push around a mere 1,213 lbs. Check out the gallery of high resolution photos below for more proof that Jerry Seinfeld has good taste in cars.

so cool,that car along with the '53 and '56 Porsche 550 and 550A coupe was the design inspiration for the Ruf Ctr3,i only wish the tail lights would have found their way to the ctr3....

That is awesome, does anyone know of a site or anything about Jerry's cars? There is tons of stuff on Leno's thought there might be some about Jerry too.

That's just incredible! I love the color and the mini windscreen. Anybody else notice the LED tail lights?

The 550 Syder is my favorite car of all time. This one is amazing in that blue. I would love to pick up a replica Beck Spyder one of these days to toy around with.
