Porsche Builds 3 Toy Story 911s for Charity as Pixar Tie-Up Marks 20 Years

Summary

  • Three one-off 911s—a Woody Carrera T, Jessie Targa 4 GTS and Buzz Lightyear GT3 RS—will be sold for charity ahead of Toy Story 5’s June 19 release.
  • Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team used the project to debut techniques it says could reach future customers, including a denim-textured paint finish validated to Porsche standards and newly designed sheriff-star wheels.
  • 350 man hours went into painting Buzz’s 10-color GT3 RS by hand, while Jessie’s pearl white came from Porsche’s 1983 Gruppe B concept and Woody’s body was finished to resemble worn jeans.
  • The collaboration commemorates a roughly 20-year Porsche-Pixar relationship that began when Pixar sought permission to model Cars character Sally Carrera on a 911; sale terms and funds raised will be announced later.
