Three Porsche 911 One-Offs Embody Iconic 'Toy Story' Characters

June 10, 2026
Forget your R8 GT-Rs, bru. Porsche just dropped three bespoke 911s inspired by Toy Story characters, and they’re more detailed than your gran’s doily collection. Seriously, these aren't just a quick spray job; we’re talking full-blown automotive artistry. Porsche and Pixar have done it again, and the results are… well, let's just say your inner child (and your bank account) are about to have a serious conversation. ## From Cars to Cowboys: How Did This Even Happen? Look, Porsche and Pixar’s relationship isn’t exactly new. Remember Sally Carrera from *Cars*? That one-off 911, inspired by the film character, was auctioned for charity. But this collaboration, kicking off in 2024 at Monterey Car Week, is on another level. Pixar production designer Bob Pauley and Pixar creative director of franchise Jay Ward approached Porsche with the idea, and things moved quickly. Work began last fall, spearheaded by Porsche’s Sonderwunsch team – more on those legends later. This isn’t about churning out volume; it’s about creating something truly special, something that’ll make you feel like a kid again, even if you’re stuck in Sandton traffic. The whole project ties in with the release of *Toy Story 5*, which premiered in Los Angeles before a wider release on June 19. And get this – these befok beauties are going up for auction to raise money for charity. Three charities, to be exact: Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross, and Starlight Children's Foundation. ## Buzz Lightyear's GT3 RS: To Infinity and Beyond… the Track? Jislaaik, where do you even start with the Buzz Lightyear 911 GT3 RS? This isn't just white paint, bru. It’s a full-on Space Ranger tribute. The colour scheme is spot on – white, green, and purple – mirroring Buzz's iconic suit. The Space Ranger logo isn't just slapped on; it’s painted on the hood, below the side air intake, and even on the magnesium wheel center caps. Porsche even painted the hood louvres blue, green, and red to mimic the buttons on Buzz’s suit. Detail, hey? And it doesn’t stop there. The custom Goodyear tires are branded with “Lightyear” and the “To Infinity and Beyond” catchphrase. It’s kitted out with the track-ready Weissach package, and the rear wing gets green endplates, a purple plane, and a striped pattern. Inside, you're greeted with Pebble Grey leather, Arctic Grey Race-Tex, green stitching, and even Violeta leather on the seat uppers. The dashboard boasts a Buzz Lightyear silhouette, and the door sill plates remind you to go “To Infinity and Beyond.” This isn’t just a car; it’s a spaceship on wheels. ## Yee Haw! Jessie's Targa 4 GTS is a Proper Showstopper Okay, so Buzz is all space-age cool. Jessie's 911 Targa 4 GTS is straight-up cowgirl chic. They’ve created a brand-new colour – Jessie White Metallic – with a pearl overlay inspired by the pearl buttons on her shirt. The lower sections are 944 Cobalt Blue Metallic (her jeans, obviously), and the upper part of the hood and rear decklid are Atacama Yellow with GTS Red curlicues. A red Targa top completes the look, acting as Jessie’s hat with beige piping. The attention to detail is insane. The Targa badge? Replaced with “Jessie” in the same script. The wheels? Gold. And there's even a horse logo on the front fender, styled like Bullseye, but paying homage to the vintage Mobil Pegasus decal often seen on classic Porsches. Inside, you've got a mix of Dark Night Blue, Bordeaux Red, and Pebble Grey leather, with red curlicue embroidery mirroring the exterior. Cowhide floor mats? Naturally. And the door sills scream “YEE HAW!” in illuminated lettering. It's a lekker tribute. ## Woody's Carrera T: Denim, Checkered Flags, and a Whole Lotta Nostalgia Woody’s 911 Carrera T is probably the most unique of the bunch. The paintwork is designed to *look* like denim. Seriously. They used Dark Sea Blue, Golf Blue, white, and even pressed a piece of denim *into* the paint to create the textured effect. Coffee Black accents the front fascia and rocker panels, with Aurum on the front spoiler lip. Fire Red graphics on the door display Woody’s name. Inside, the seatbacks and door panels feature Speed Yellow inlays with a red checkered pattern – just like Woody’s shirt. The rest of the cabin is finished in a worn, vintage-look brown leather. Denim fabric also appears on the seats and door panels, and the cowhide floor mats make a reappearance. The doorsills read “Ride like the wind.” And, as a nod to *Cars*, there's a Dinoco sticker on the rear side window. This is pure nostalgia, bru. ## So, What's the Catch? (And How Much Will These Befok Cars Cost?) Let's be real. These aren’t going to be cheap. Porsche isn’t shouting prices from the rooftops yet, but expect a serious bidding war when they go up for auction. Remember, it's all for charity – Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross, and Starlight Children's Foundation. So, while your wallet might weep, you’ll be contributing to a good cause. It’s a bit like buying a whole lot of biltong at Checkers – it feels good, but it hits the budget. ## Sonderwunsch: Porsche's Secret Weapon for Befok Custom Builds Behind all this magic is Porsche’s Sonderwunsch program – German for "special wishes." This is Porsche’s bespoke division, and they're the ones who can turn your wildest automotive dreams into reality. They’ve built everything from a one-off 993 Speedster to a refinished Carrera GT with a Le Mans-inspired livery. They're the reason these Toy Story 911s aren't just concepts; they're meticulously crafted, driving works of art. Sonderwunsch proves that Porsche isn't just about performance; it's about passion and pushing the boundaries of what's possible. These Toy Story 911s are more than just cars; they’re rolling tributes to a beloved franchise, showcasing Porsche’s commitment to craftsmanship and charity. They're a reminder that sometimes, the most befok things in life are the ones that tap into your inner child. They’re a statement. A collector’s dream. And a serious flex. But here’s the question: with Porsche pushing the boundaries of customization with Sonderwunsch, what other wild ideas will they bring to life next? Will we see a *Finding Nemo*-themed Porsche? A *Lion King*-inspired 911? Only time will tell. But one thing’s for sure: we’ll be watching.
