Do you bear in mind the 2006 main movement image Vehicles? Whereas these of us within the authentic goal demographic grew up, the collection by no means went away. It bought sequels, spinoffs starring Dane Prepare dinner, and is now getting its personal Disney+ streaming present.
Excellent timing, then, for a collaboration with a significant automaker. In fact, you’ll be able to’t actually replicate Lightning McQueen’s stock-automobile physique on something street-authorized, and I’m unsure anybody would need to drive round in Mater. However replicating Sally Carrera’s brilliant blue paint and twisted Turbo-style wheels on a contemporary Porsche 911? That may be finished. Witness the 2022 Porsche 911 Sally Particular, a real-life tribute to Sally Carrera from the Pixar collection.
The film character was an early 996-model 911, with probably the most controversial of Porsche headlights, however its styling cues work effectively on the present mannequin 911. The Turbo twist wheels get a contemporary facelift, echoing the previous wheel with out outright copying it. They appear unbelievable, enjoying off the Sally Blue paint.
In fact, one thing has to drive these wheels, and the Sally Particular will get the sort of efficiency you’d anticipate from a one-off Porsche. It borrows the 911 GTS’s engine and seven-speed handbook gearbox, that means the little blue automobile has 473 horsepower on faucet.

Uniqlo Summer Sale
Basics you don’t wanna miss
Uniqlo’s summer sales are not to be missed. The whole sale is killer to stock up on the basics Uniqlo is known for—subtle colors, classic silhouettes, and a dress up-or-down vibe.
We never saw Sally’s interior in the original movie, likely due to the (theoretical) presence of a horrifying emaciated husk of an individual utilizing the automobile as a complicated life help gadget, however the Sally Particular’s insides are way more interesting. The Sally Blue coloration extends to the inside trim, making appearances on the dashboard, heart console, and the shift knob. The seats put on a novel black, blue, and white houndstooth sample, and so they have spoiled me for each different inside upholstery. None have regarded this good, and none ever will once more.
The inside will get some Vehicles accoutrement too, from embossed logos within the leather-based to a Kachow Mode knob on the steering wheel. There’s even a little bit drawing of Sally herself, subsequent to the Sally Particular badging — marking a novel one-of-one Porsche, after all.
That’s proper, there’ll solely ever be one Sally Particular. The automobile is headed to the RM Sotheby’s public sale at Monterey Automobile Week, with all proceeds going to learn charities together with Women, Inc. and UNHCR, the United Nations Refugee Company. An ideal automobile for an excellent trigger — what’s higher than that?
Whoever wins the public sale is not going to solely get the automobile, however a collection of extras with it. A titanium watch, a automobile cowl, the 302PCE plates that replicate these Sally wears within the movie, and a set of observe wheels and tires. In any case, the Sally Particular is a GTS — the patrician fanatic’s Porsche. Why not take it for a number of laps?
And sure, earlier than you ask. They bought her tattoo proper.
