Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee has become a very popular show in recent years, with its 11 series being featured on Crackle and Netflix. The show offers comedians and celebrities in cars while talking with Jerry Seinfeld. The premise of the show is great, and so are the cars that feature. From sports cars to classic cars, the show features many different vehicles that are very cool and have been loved by many in the car community.
A wide range of cool classic cars was featured throughout the show, and they are very cool cars that many can only dream of owning. From the humblest of classics to multi-million-dollar classics we have gone through the show and found some of the sickest cars featured so you can watch some of the best episodes quickly.
10 Porsche 356 - Jay Leno
Driven in the second episode of the third series, the Porsche 356 was the first-ever production car made by Porsche. This alone makes the car very cool as it is important in the history of the brand, and helps us understand how the brand has evolved today. Coming with agile handling and being a lightweight car (weighing 1,700 lb at its lightest), the Porsche came with some very defining characteristics of a sports car.
Also experiencing some motorsport success, with the car being driven at Le Mans, the 356 was very popular among enthusiasts and consumers. As such, we're definitely not surprised to see Jay Leno in a Porsche 356 as he is renowned for his love for cars and it is definitely a very cool car to feature in the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee TV show.
9 Porsche 911 Carrera RS - Seth Meyers
Driven in the fifth episode of the second series of the show, the Porsche 911 Carrera RS is a very cool car. Launched in 1973, this model was homologated for motorsport. The 2.7-liter RS came with 210 hp and fuel injection to enhance performance. The suspension was also stiffened and a 'ducktail' spoiler was added to the rear of the car, enhancing downforce. The Sport Lightweight version was around 220 lb lighter than the RS Touring, making the vehicle all the better for fast driving.
Also on offer was a Carerra RS 3.0 in 1974, with power boosted to 230 hp and offered racing capability. While Seth Meyers was in the 1973 model, this car was incredibly cool and we definitely wouldn't say no to driving one. As such, the 911 Carrera RS easily makes it onto this list with its sportiness and abilities being well known.
8 Jaguar Mark 2 - Robert Klein
Driven in the third episode of series four, the episode featured Robert Klein in a Jaguar Mark 2. The Jaguar Mark 2 is a mid-sized luxury sports saloon and it was fairly fast too. Going over 100 mph at top speed in the 2.4-liter model, and reaching a top speed of 125 mph in the 3.8-liter model, the Mark 2 lived up to its slogan of 'Grace...Space...Pace'. Also, the Jaguar XK6 I6 engine was the lucrative selling point of the car, and the technologically advanced engine lived up to the hype.
We definitely think that the Mark 2 is a great car, and history has proven this too with the high sales and its motorsport success. As such, this was definitely the right choice to feature in the TV show, especially with the car's legacy is still being enjoyed today, with the Jaguar XE of 2015 being a descendant of the car.
7 Ford Mustang - Steve Martin
Featured as a part of the seventh series in the second episode, Steve Martin was the guest celebrity inside a Ford Mustang. The first generation of the Ford Mustang is an icon in the car world, and it is still loved today by many, especially with the success it triggered for the Ford brand and the creation of later Mustang models. Coming with a V8 engine that produced 271 hp, the car's performance was matched with its outstanding appearance too.
Indeed, the Ford Mustang is wonderful to look at, and the one featured in Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee is no different. Coming with great history and attractive features, the Ford Mustang is one of the best cars to feature in the show.
6 Corvette C1 - Jimmy Fallon
The Corvette C1 featured in the seventh episode in the fifth series, with Jimmy Fallon as the guest. The 1956 Corvette C1 came with a new body, different from the previous years of the generation, along with a stronger convertible top. The only engine on offer was the 4.3-liter V8 which produced between 210 to 240 hp. Indeed, the car looked just as attractive as the C1 in previous years but came with more options for the drivers.
As such, this car is definitely cool and it is a nice classic car to feature on the show. With the legacy of the Corvette series too, this C1 definitely set a standard and this has allowed the car to evolve so well.
5 Aston Martin DB5 - Julia Louis-Dreyfus
The Aston Martin DB5 was featured in the sixth series in the first episode. The guest star was Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and it set place in Santa Monica. The DB5 is a very famous car, being a British luxury grand tourer, being the final evolution of the DB4. Coming with a 4.0-liter Straight-6 engine, the car produced 282 hp alongside a top speed 0f 145 mph. Also coming with a refined design throughout the car, the vehicle had electric windows and wool pile carpets enhancing its luxury appeal.
The DB5 is certainly one of the more luxurious cars to feature on the show and is definitely one cool car. The vehicle has a lot of history and has been big in pop culture, so it has continued to be quite big among enthusiasts today.
4 Studebaker Avanti - J.B. Smoove
The Studebaker Avanti featured in the eighth series of the Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee show, with J.B. Smoove as the guest too. The Studebaker Avanti was launched in 1962 and it came with a supercharged V8 engine that meant that the car could reach over 178 mph in terms of speed. The car also broke several world records, but sadly the brand folded not long after its release.
Production of the Avanti was slow, with only 1,200 actually built out of the 20,000 that were planned. Despite this, the Avanti is a great car in terms of history and in how powerful it was. The car is definitely a great one to be featured on the show, and even better there were revivals of the car made until 2006.
3 Mazda Cosmo - Margaret Cho
The Mazda Cosmo was also featured in the eighth series of the show, in the second episode. Featuring Margaret Cho in the car, the model was one from the 1967 lineup. The Cosmo was one of the first production cars to feature a 2-rotor Wankel engine. The car managed to beat the NSU R080 into production and it was interesting to see the production of new engine technology. An interesting fact about the car is that one was produced each day, which meant that it was always going to be rare.
The engine was smooth too, but the usual problems with the rotary engine occurred with tip wear being an issue. However, the Mazda Cosmo is a very interesting car especially due to its historical implementation of the rotary engine and the success that Mazda has had from the engine. Alongside this, the car looked good and was very stylish, fitting in with the 1960s design language.
2 Mercedes W113 - Alec Baldwin
The Mercedes W113 featured in the first series of the show was accompanied by Alec Baldwin. Launched in 1963, the W113 is one of the most iconic Mercedes cars ever. It was stylish and very attractive, featuring a slight resemblance to the Pagoda roof which is famous in Chinese architecture. The 280 SL was driven in the show and this version of the car was definitely a grand tourer, coming with an M130 2.8-liter engine which produced 168 hp, the car had a good amount of power for what the driver would want it to do.
The car was focused more on comfort than suspension, with the car being heavier. Also, the handling on the car wasn't as dynamic as the previous editions of the W113, but the car was still very impressive and it fit the luxury appeal that the car had too. As such, the Mercedes W113 is a definite addition to this list because of how cool and appealing it was.
1 Buick Riviera - George Wallace
The Buick Riviera featured in the fourth series of the show in the second episode. With George Wallace featuring as the guest star, the 1965 Buick Riviera had been facelifted from its original appearance when it debuted in 1963. Coming with the same V8 engine as previously, but sportier looks were added and the headlights were given a redesign too.
Indeed, the headlights are considered to be some of the coolest ones on a car, but the general design of the Buick Riviera is very cool too and it certainly catches many eyes when it is on the roads. Being so distinctive, the Riviera is loved by many and it was a great car choice to be put on Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee.
