There\u2019s been a lot of discourse around spec in the collector car world lately. From uncommon colors to one-of-one options, rarity is the ultimate form of one-upmanship. So what happens when you combine rarity with a beloved children\u2019s franchise? Porsche\u2019s Sonderwunsch customization division and Pixar Studios have teamed up to build three 911s themed after\u00a0Toy Story characters and they\u2019re actually kind of neat.<\/p>\n

This might seem like a strange collaboration, but Porsche-Pixar relations actually go way back. Some 20 years ago, the studio released\u00a0Cars,\u00a0a love letter to Route 66 starring sentient automobiles. In the film, town attorney and love interest Sally Carrera was a light metallic blue 996.2 Porsche 911, although that wasn\u2019t always the plan. As MSN Autos<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

Indeed, they had first wanted an old-model Porsche, but Bob Carlson, Porsche\u2019s manager of automotive media, recalls shifting Pixar\u2019s attention to the then-current generation\u00a0911\u00a0sports car.<\/p>\n

After Porsche\u2019s initial nudge, Pixar stretched and shrunk bits of the 996.2 to produce perfect cartoon proportions, and the result was an instant hit. Not only was a real-life model of the character built, Porsche would team up with Pixar in 2022 to build a one-off 911 inspired by Sally Carrera. Think a modern interpretation of the iconic twist wheels, the correct shade of blue paint, and several special details. Auctioned off for charity, it sold for an eye-watering $3.6 million. So why not build some more special Porsches now that Toy Story 5 is here?<\/p>\n

The big star here is the Buzz Lightyear 911 GT3 RS with the Weissach Package, not just because it\u2019s the craziest Porsche out of the trio, but because it\u2019s an excellent translation of character design to a car. The white-and-green primary elements, the caution line accents, the dashes of purple and red, it all just works so well on this wild track-focused model. An outrageous livery for an equally outrageous car. The illuminated door sills say \u201cTo Infinity And Beyond,\u201d the Space Rangers logo appears throughout, but perhaps the most interesting modification has to do with the tires.<\/p>\n

From the factory, one of the tires approved for the GT3 RS is the Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersport R. You can probably tell where this is going. Not only do the tires feature the Space Rangers logo, they also come with raised \u201cLightyear\u201d white lettering, with the Goodyear logo only subtly appearing beneath the shoulders of the tires. That\u2019s seriously cool.<\/p>\n

Buzz Lightyear is obviously a GT3 RS, but what Porsche would Jessie be? We finally have an answer, and it\u2019s a 911 Targa 4 GTS. With 523 horsepower from a turbocharged, hybridized flat-six, all-wheel-drive, and a power-stowing roof section, this 911 variant can handle a lot. Perfect for a cowgirl. This one gets a brand new shade of metallic white accented by 944 Cobalt Blue lower trim, Atacama Yellow accent panels and GTS Red pinstriping. Mind you, the most interesting thing on the exterior might just be the wheels. They aren\u2019t part of the normal 911 options list and I\u2019m not entirely sure how to feel about them.<\/p>\n

In contrast, I do know how I feel about the interior of this special Targa. Those cow-patterned floor mats rule, and the contrast of candy cane leather with dark blue accents and denim-look inserts is pretty rad. Also, those \u201cYee Haw!\u201d sill plates are sweet. Perfect for an outlaw build.<\/p>\n

While the Woody-themed 911 Carrera T<\/a> might seem tame at first glance, you only need to look past the bronze trim, two-tone wheels, and red graphics to see something truly crazy. Your eyes aren\u2019t deceiving you, that\u2019s blue and white layered over Dark Sea Blue to create denim-look paint. Porsche doesn\u2019t say how long it took to apply this finish, but it seems incredibly time-consuming. Proper show car stuff, that.<\/p>\n

As you\u2019d expect, cow-print floor mats and an interpretation of Woody\u2019s signature shirt pattern feature here, but Porsche\u2019s also used a type of vintage leather it\u2019s never put in a 911 before. With a rich tan and beautiful texture, it\u2019s simply fantastic, and I do hope it makes it onto the official options list at some point in the future.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting that this trio of Sonderwunsch \u201cToy Story\u201d 911s isn\u2019t simply going to sit in Porsche\u2019s museum. They\u2019re actually being sold, with proceeds raised going to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross, and Starlight Children\u2019s Foundation. Fingers crossed that the new owners take these 911s out for events and such, because joy like this is best when it\u2019s shared.<\/p>\n
