Customize the Cayenne Turbo GT into a family minivan with electric sliding doors
Mark Zuckerberg is known for founding Facebook (now Meta).
He asked his wife Priscilla Chan to customize a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and built a minivan for her.
The reason this happened was because his wife wanted their next car to be a minivan.
Well, in general, in that case, you would think, "Let's look for a minivan. Which minivan is best?" But Mark Zuckerberg is different.
He commissioned Los Angeles custom shop West Coast Customs to convert a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT into a minivan.
The Cayenne Turbo GT even comes with electric sliding doors and an extended frame.
Apparently, the minivan was designed by Mark himself.
Minivan Porsche
The customization this time isn't just cosmetic; the interior specifications have also been modified for practicality, with two regular seats in the front, two more in the second row, and at least two more in the third row.
The Zuckerbergs have three children, so this is the perfect car for a family of five. And because it's based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, it has excellent performance.
Huh?
Come to think of it, my family also has 3 children and 5 members, so it's always hard to find a family car.
Maybe I have no choice but to customize the Cayenne Turbo GT (lol)?
By the way, in addition to this minivan-style Cayenne Turbo GT, Mark also owns a manual 911 GT3 Touring Package in slate gray.
He also owns a custom Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, which is also a manual transmission. He seems to like manual transmissions.
Porsche's past minivan attempts
Although this minivan is an original creation of the Zuckerberg family, Porsche has also experimented with the minivan concept in the past, with the concept car ``Porsche Vision Renndienst'' that was announced in 2020.
It was designed as a family-oriented EV that could seat up to six people, and was an attempt to fuse Porsche's DNA into a family car. Although a 1:1 scale model was made and exhibited, it was never mass-produced.
Additionally, in the 1980s, Porsche even produced a minivan called the Porsche B32, which was essentially a Volkswagen T3 fitted with a 911 Carrera engine and other upgrades.
Even so, Mark, your wife said she wanted a minivan next, so you customized your Porsche and turned it into a minivan. That's a great idea.
