- Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been undergoing a style evolution, sporting new jewelry and outfits.
- Now, his garage will be updated with two new “his and hers” Porsches for himself and Priscilla Chan.
- Chan’s car was retrofitted into what’s likely the only Porsche minivan in existence.
Mark Zuckerberg‘s garage just got an update: a Porsche 911 GT3 with a touring package and, for his wife, Priscilla Chan, a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT … minivan?
The Meta CEO showed off the two new cars in an Instagram post on Sunday, including the custom Cayenne, normally a $200,000 SUV. The cars appear to have matching light gray finishes in a color that Porsche calls “Crayon.”
“New side quest. Priscilla wanted a minivan, so I’ve been designing something I’m pretty sure should exist: a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan,” he wrote. “Threw in a manual GT3 Touring to make it his and hers.”
In the Instagram video, the custom Cayenne appears to have been retrofitted with power sliding doors, a common fixture in modern minivans. It’s unclear what interior customizations may have been made to the vehicle.
Zuckerberg said in the post that Porsche and West Coast Customs, a southern California-based auto body shop known for its unique modifications of classic and luxury cars, helped create what’s likely the only Porsche minivan on the road. According to West Coast Customs’ social media account, the shop’s previous clientele includes Justin Bieber and Shaquille O’Neal, among others.
In an email, Porsche spokesperson Angus Fitton told Business Insider that the company created a concept minivan called the Porsche Vision Race Service in 2018 that never reached production.
Fitton added that while the company didn’t create Zuckerberg’s custom Cayenne, Porsche does have “a so-called ‘special wishes’ department called Sonderwunsch that allows customers to have their cars customized to their precise requirements.”
“To date we’ve not yet been asked to create a minivan!” Fitton wrote.
Meta and West Coast Customs spokespeople did not immediately respond to a request for comment made over the weekend.
Zuckerberg has been going through a personal style evolution of late, sporting new chains and boxy t-shirts, so perhaps it’s only fitting that he and Chan drive new whips that help lean into their “mob chic” era.
The Porsche Cayenne’s entry-level model costs $90,000. According to Porsche’s website, the Turbo GT package, which includes a different engine and more aggressive exterior body, adds at least another $100,000 to the price tag.
Zuckerberg’s new 911 is a model that recently went out of production, the Porsche spokesperson told BI. Before options, the 911 GT3 Touring cost $164,650, he wrote.
Zuckerberg has often been spotted in a more humble line of cars: a black Acura TSX, a Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback, and a Honda Fit. All of these cars at the time were around $30,000 or less, Business Insider previously reported.
BI reported that his most flashy car, which still tops the two new Porsches, is a Pagani Huayra, an Italian sports car that cost more than $1 million.
