Mark Zuckerberg Gets Custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo Built For Wife Who Asked For ‘Minivan’
The German luxury carmaker Porsche never made a minivan. However, what if a billionaire like Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, wanted one? Well, in that case, a brand-new Porsche Cayenne gets chopped up and converted into a minivan. Recently, Zuckerberg shared a few pictures and videos of a Porsche Cayenne minivan that he got custom-made for his wife. This particular Porsche Cayenne minivan was seen twinning with Zuckerberg’s 991.2 GT3 Touring.

These videos and pictures of the custom-built Porsche Cayenne minivan have been shared on Instagram by Zuck (the official handle of Mark Zuckerberg). The billionaire CEO of Meta was seen posing for a selfie with his wife, Priscilla Chan. They both were standing in front of their Porsche Cayenne minivan and the 911 GT3 Touring.
A video in the same post shows how the newly added middle door functions. It can be seen that it is an electrically operated door, just like the minivans come equipped with. Also, the same post shows Priscilla smiling while checking out her custom Porsche Cayenne minivan.
This post has been shared by Zuck with a caption stating, “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. Threw in a manual GT3 Touring to make it his and hers. Thanks @porsche and @westcoastcustoms for helping to make this happen.”
Custom Porsche Cayenne Minivan
As we all are aware, Porsche has never officially offered a minivan version of its popular luxury SUV, the Cayenne. However, if you are a multi-billionaire worth upwards of $200 billion, you cannot be given a no for an answer. This particular Porsche minivan has been created by Porsche in collaboration with West Coast Customs.
If you are a true automotive enthusiast, then you must have definitely seen the popular show Pimp My Ride. This hit show used to feature cars of regular people in poor conditions and would fully customize them to look extremely unique. The shop which became famous due to this show was West Coast Customs.
It is owned by Ryan Friedlinghaus, and the shop is located in Burbank, California, United States of America. The shop has worked with numerous popular celebrities, including the pop star Justin Bieber and American basketball player Shaquille O’Neal. This time around, Mark Zuckerberg handed them the responsibility to create a custom Porsche Cayenne minivan for his wife.

This particular custom Porsche Cayenne minivan is finished in the classy shade of Crayon. As seen in the video, the shop has fitted custom electric doors in the middle, replacing the standard doors. It can also be noted that it looks a lot longer than the standard Cayenne, which suggests that the shop had to cut the SUV in half and then extend its wheelbase.
Additionally, we can also note that the seats in the middle have been changed to captain’s chairs. There is also a way to access the rear seats easily. For those who may not be aware, Mark Zuckerberg has three daughters named Maxima, August, and Aurelia Chan Zuckerberg.
At the moment, there are no reports that provide us with details about the powertrain modifications on this Porsche Cayenne minivan. The standard Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, on which it is based, comes powered by a massive 4.0-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine. It makes 659 bhp and 850 Nm of torque.
