Porsche has teamed up with Pixar Animation Studios to bring Sally Carrera to life. In the films, she’s a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera from California who grew tired of life in the fast lane and made a new start in the small town of Radiator Springs.
The project is well underway and Sally Carrera will be built for the road, but won’t be an exact copy when it hits RM Sotheby’s later this year. That’s not all, Porsche Design will also create a one-off timepiece to accompany the 911 when it’s auctioned. All proceeds will go to helping children, supporting education programs for young girls in the U.S. through Girls Inc. and refugee families fleeing Ukraine.
- Build and explore the LEGO Technic Porsche 911 RSR—an icon of innovative engineering and design
- Features aerodynamic bodywork, black spoked rims, working differential and steering, independent suspension and a six-cylinder boxer engine
- Open the doors to access a radar screen, working steering, fire extinguisher system and a track map of the Laguna Seca
We wanted to help, somehow, and as a team we realized we could perhaps harness what we were working on to raise money. The whole project began with the premise that Sally’s character was devoted to helping others and it seems right that this should continue 20 years on. We are, for the first time ever, going to build a brand new, street legal Porsche 911 inspired by the special character we created – Sally Carrera. Only one will ever be made,” said Jay Ward, Creative Director of Franchise at Pixar Animation Studios.
