In 1995, Pixar released the animated children\u2019s movie \u201cToy Story,\u201d an instant classic; and in the same year, Porsche was producing the 993 generation of their own instant classic, the 911. Perhaps, on face value, these icons of their respective mediums have very little in common, but what they do share is a level of global recognition only gifted to the most revered works of art and, in their own ways, an ability to put smiles on faces.<\/p>\n
Porsche and Pixar have collaborated on a trio of 911s, each uniquely appointed to represent one of the film\u2019s main characters, to be auctioned off in support of three different charities. Porsche\u2019s Sonderwunsch (\u201cspecial wishes\u201d) team took the lead here, with Disney and Pixar backing them up throughout the process.<\/p>\n
It takes a big wing to accurately embody a character with a pair of deployable wings. Therefore, Buzz Lightyear is rightfully represented by a GT3 RS<\/a>. This Weissach Package-equipped model is dressed in an appropriate white, green and purple livery, the wing itself done up like the design on Lightyear\u2019s flaps. The side air ducts are surrounded by hazard markings, the magnesium wheels are painted white, and the Goodyear tires have been customized as \u201cLightyear\u201d tires, a nod to both Buzz and the tires worn by the characters of Pixar\u2019s \u201cCar\u2019s\u201d franchise. A similar color scheme is used inside, the dash finished with a unique Buzz Lightyear character.<\/p>\n Tim Allen\u2019s Woody is a tad more subtle, as is Porsche\u2019s tribute, using a 911 Carrera T<\/a> as its base. The paint may look coated in dry spots at first glance, but it\u2019s actually a unique color and patina that tries to mirror the texture of denim, joined by red and gold accents. Denim is used for the front seat inserts, combined with brown leather and various shades of stitching, though the black and white cowhide floor mats are a bit more striking to the eye. <\/p>\n Between the two is Jessie\u2019s 911 Targa 4 GTS, which receives its own new paint color: Jessie White Metallic, joined by 944 Cobalt Blue Metallic and Atacama Yellow. The red soft-top is a great homage to the character\u2019s hat, the Targa bar\u2019s typical scripture replaced by \u201cJessie\u201d in appropriate font. As we\u2019ve seen in the other two models, the cabin is finished in similar shades, including denim-looking fabric in the seats, while Bordeaux Red Race-Tex covers various pillars. And yes, similar cowhide floor mats come with it too.<\/p>\n As for how much each of these will be auctioned for, well, for the sake of the charities, we hope it\u2019s \u201cto infinity and beyond.\u201d Proceeds will benefit the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross and the Starlight Children\u2019s Foundation. This isn\u2019t the first time Pixar and Porsche have come together, their last effort resulting in the very befitting 911 Sally Special<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 1995, Pixar released the animated children\u2019s movie \u201cToy Story,\u201d an instant classic; and in the same year,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34814,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21181],"tags":[21245,26992,6009,31199,8406],"class_list":["post-34813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-porsche","tag-21245","tag-carrera","tag-disney","tag-pixar","tag-porsche"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34813"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34813\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34814"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
