Porsche Brings Pixar ‘Cars’ Car To Life With A Version You Can Drive IRL

Life imitates art as Porsche brings one of Pixar’s most famous cars, Sally Carrera, to the streets.

Sally first drove onto the silver screen in the 2006 animation Cars. The character herself was based on the 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera and is part of the 996 generation of 911s.

Now, 16 years later, the German automaker is taking her out of Radiator Springs and into the real world.

The new ‘Sally Special’ includes silver headlights, five-spoked wheels just like in the cartoon, and, of course, her iconic ‘Sally Blue Metallic’.

This specific colorway was applied by hand to the car and was even painted over the engine lid, the car’s front, and the rear fascias, which are all areas Porsche traditionally keeps black on its regular Carrera GTS.

The Sally Blue Metallic is even seen on the trimmings of the interior dashboard and as an accent on the steering wheel.

Sally’s interior includes white leather seats with a houndstooth pattern, guard slips with the name ‘Sally Special’ on them, and a special ‘Kachow Mode’ button to replace the usual Sport Response switch.

To add to her likeness, the special model even gets a replica of her spunky tattoo on its rear, a trademark of Sally’s larger-than-life spirit from the movies.

Fortunately, the car has removed her windshield-slash-eyes and mouth in place for a proper front grill for the safety of drivers.

Just like any of Porsche’s one-off specials, the Sally Special has 437 horsepower, a seven-speed manual gearbox, and the 911 GTS’s engine.

Cars fans, however, will only be able to get their hands on the vehicle via an auction. Porsche and Pixar are working with RM Sotheby’s to sell the car at an upcoming event in Monterey, California.

The sale of the car will benefit two different charities: Girls Inc., a charity dedicated to providing girls between the ages of five and 18 with the tools necessary for life; and USA for UNHCR, a charity devoted to helping UN refugees.

The winning bidder will also receive a watch designed by Porsche, a book detailing the production process of the Sally Special, a cover for the car, a second set of tires, and a tire rack to put them on.
