Porsche Meets Pixar: The 911 Sally Special Rocks the Auction World
Picture this: a sleek, high‑performance 911 pulling a checkered flag, but the finish line is not just any finish—it’s a deep, glossy Sally Carrera paint job straight out of Cars. That’s exactly what happened when Porsche teams up with Pixar Animation Studios.
How the Idea Carved its Way Into Fame

- Uniqueness: Only one of its kind—like the rarest superhero storyline, but on wheels.
Getting the Wheels Rolling for Good

What happens when it sells? The winning bid’s cash goes straight to:
- Girls Inc. – empowering young women and fostering confidence through mentorship.
- UNHCR – providing vital support to Ukrainian refugees worldwide.

So buckle up, let’s see who will take home this spirited masterpiece—and drop a hefty donation for a noble cause!
Reviving the Spirit of Cars – A New Episode Begins
In November 2021, the original dream team that turned a Pixar idea into the beloved Cars franchise and the life‑size Sally Carrera brought to the streets for the first time reunited for a fresh adventure. Imagine a reunion of animators, engineers and designers, all ready to bring new life to the iconic character.
Who’s on Board?
- Cars Crew: the creative geniuses who gave the film character and the real‑world Sally Carrera their magic more than twenty years ago.
- Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur (Sonderwunsch): seasoned artisans from Stuttgart adding their bespoke touch to every detail.
- Style Porsche in Weissach: designers fine‑tuning every curve and finish to match perfection.
With a blend of nostalgic creativity and cutting‑edge automotive artistry, this project is set to hit the road—literally—bringing the legacy of Cars to a new generation of fans and road‑goers alike.
Meet the One‑Off 911 Sally Special – A Ten‑Month Love Affair
After ten months of team bonding (and probably a few cups of espresso), Porsche has unleashed a factory‑made masterpiece that’s as unique as a unicorn in a yarn shop.
What Makes It Tick?
- Base Model: Built on the lightning‑fast 480PS
911 Carrera GTS, the clean‑cut hero of the911lineup. - Gearbox: A manual gearbox that lets you feel every click – because nothing says “pure driving pleasure” like owning a legendary machine with a stick-shift.
- Paint: Wrapped in “Sally Blue Metallic,” a hand‑applied custom color that’s as unique as your grandma’s quilt.
Rims that Roar
Forget the usual “turbo” splash – these cutouts were reimagined by Porsche’s design wizards in Weissach, engineered to match the 20‑ or 21‑inch wheels of the current 911 generation. They not only look great but also nod to the classic 911 Type 996 – the car that inspired Sally Carrera.
Why the “Five‑Arm” Design?
It’s a visual bridge between the past and present. Picture a balance of time‑travel and modern tech, all while keeping the sporty silhouette intact.
Bottom Line
From hand‑painted blues to impossible‑looking rims, the 911 Sally Special is a total rare‑breed token that Porsche’s dream team promised they’d build – and they did so, one polished hour at a time.
The Blue Symphony: Porsche & Pixar’s Creative Collaboration
Picture this: the futuristic heart of Porsche, hummed into life by Daniela Milošević, the interior mastermind, and Pixar’s imaginative touch. Together, they’ve taken the ultra‑sleek blue car to a whole new level ‑ inside and out.
Why This Blue Is Nothing Ordinary
- Epic Paint Job: A unique shade of blue that feels like a personal mood‑board for the road.
- Stylishly Expressive Interiors: Seats wrapped in a one‑of‑a‑kind Pepita houndstooth design, available in three color harmonies.
- Texture Rumble: A blend of chalk‑tone leather and Speed Blue stitching that whispers luxury on every touch.
- Attention to Detail: Every seam and line engineered to echo the crispness of Pixar’s animation artistry.
Feel the Difference
When you step inside, it’s not just a car; it’s a living studio where art meets engineering. The airy blue décor, the soft silk of the fabric, and the subtle, silent cheers from the high‑end stitching create an ambiance that feels like a backstage pass to a high‑tech concert.
Ready to Drive?
With this fusion of creative vision and automotive excellence, the blue Porsche doesn’t just ride — it floats on the edge of tomorrow, ready for your next adventure.
Step into the Future with Porsche’s “Kachow Mode”
Ever wished you could switch gears without breaking a sweat? The Kachow Mode selector is exactly that – a little button that lets the driver hop between multiple drive modes as if it were a trivia question with a correct answer. Think of it as a “superpowers” switch for the daily driver.
Cabin Perfection: Stitching, Embossing, and More
- Each seat is stitched with a pattern that spells “comfort” in both languages.
- Subtle embossing sprinkled across the dash gives it a vintage-hip vibe.
- And those “soft-touch” panels feel like your warm, fuzzy hugs every time you lean back.
Color Dreams That Won’t Show Up Anywhere Else
There’s a custom hue that’s exclusively reserved for the 911 Sally Special. Your imagination might say you can pick the paint from the factory, but that’s not the case—this shade is unavailable as a standard factory option. If you want the same level of custom tinkering, you’ll need to talk to one of Porsche’s bespoke specialists.
The Final Word
If you’re looking to make your Porsche feel like it belongs in a movie, the Kachow Mode and that exclusive Sally Special color are all the tricks you need. Pull the trigger, and you’ll be driving in style that even the streets will crave.
