The beloved ‘Cars’ character is the inspiration for this one-off Porsche.

- Porsche and Pixar are collaborating to make a special Sally Carrera Porsche 911.
- As the name suggests, this special Porsche 911 will take inspiration from the 2006 Pixar classic Cars.
- The one-of-a-kind car will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s when completed, with the proceeds going to charity.
The Pixar film Cars is likely more than responsible for a portion of younger car enthusiasts.
The 2006 animated movie was not only financially successful and a current staple of the Pixar catalog, but it also opened the door to car culture in a way that no one had done before. While the film’s protagonist Lightning McQueen was clearly the star, the local Radiator Springs attorney Sally Carrera is getting a reboot in reality.
Porsche and Pixar are working together to bring Sally Carrera to the real world. Of course, this Sally Carrera-inspired Porsche 911 won’t be a sentient, studied citizen of Radiator Springs—it’s going to be a simple Porsche 911 that doesn’t hold a law degree. That said, this will be a real Porsche 911.
More importantly, this will be a one-of-a-kind Porsche 911 that was put together through a collaboration with the team at Pixar and the team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur. Joining the car is a similarly exclusive watch from Porsche Design. So this 911 won’t be cheap.
If you’re wondering how you can snag your own Sally Carrera edition 911, well, that’s easier said than done. This Porsche is slated to be auctioned off by RM Sotheby’s with the proceeds going to charity.
According to Porsche, “Proceeds from the auction will support life-changing programs for girls and young women through Girls Inc. as well as the USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, to provide aid to children and their families affected by the conflict in Ukraine.”
There’s no word yet on which Sotheby’s sale will see this Sally-inspired 911, but it will only cross the block after the special Porsche is actually finished. We expect this road-legal, Cars-inspired 911 will fetch a handsome sum for a good cause.
