Porsche to create one-off sports car – and fans are all saying the same thing

PORSCHE has turned Sally Carrera from the Disney Pixar film Cars into a real-life motor.

The bright blue 911 Carrera GTS, dubbed the “Sally Special”, is a dead ringer for the fictional favourite from the 2006 hit.

It’s the only car to ever be painted in a custom “Sallybluemetallic” colour, and features the animated character’s pinstripe tattoo underneath the retractable aero wing at the rear.

The Cars logo is also embossed in the door cards – and it even comes with a “Kachow!” mode to reflect Lightning McQueen’s catchphrase from the movie.

Other nods to Sally include chalk-coloured leather and “Speed Blue” stitching, illuminated door sills, and Turbo-look rims.

Fans were delighted by the likeness, with many petrol-head desperate to get behind the wheel.

One said on Twitter: “Absolutely loving this Porsche recreation of Sally from the movie Cars.

“The pinstripe tattoo, special interior, and amazing colour are all perfect. I want one.”

Another, who predicted the car might sell for $1million, posted: “I love this so much.”

The one-off car, which is fully road-approved, will be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s on August 20 as part of Monterey Car Week in California.

Proceeds will be donated to Girls Inc, a charity that benefits young women, and UNHCR, which supports refugees from Ukraine.

And the buyer will walk away with a watch to match the motor, a car cover and a second set of wheels.

Dr Sebastian Rudolph, Vice President Communications, Sustainability and Politics at Porsche AG said: “Vehicles need a face and a story, and the animated Pixar film Cars has impressively done just that: brought cars to life on the big screen.

“The story conveys values such as friendship, love and mutual support – and in the middle of it all is a Porsche: ‘Sally Carrera’.

“Together with Pixar we have brought the spirit of Sally to life in a new way, not on the screen, but off the screen.

“With this one-off street legal 911, the ‘Sally Special’, which we are auctioning for charity, we want to help people who urgently need support, quite in keeping with the spirit of the film character.”

Cars, which stars Owen Wilson, the late Paul Newman and Michael Keaton, is set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic talking vehicles.

Directed by John Lasseter, who is also behind Toy Story and A Bug’s Life, it follows a race car named Lightning McQueen who gets stranded on the way to the biggest event of his life.
