Mark Zuckerberg collaborated with West Coast Customs to transform a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT SUV into a custom minivan for his wife, Priscilla Chan.

When Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's wife, Priscilla Chan, told him she wanted a minivan as her next car, and what he had done? He took that request to the next level.

Teaming up with LA-based West Coast Customs, he had a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT SUV transformed into a longer minivan, complete with electric sliding doors and an extended frame.

Zuckerberg didn’t stop there. While customizing the Cayenne, he also had West Coast Customs work on a manual Porsche GT3 Touring in the same slate grey colour. The result? A matching pair of his-and-hers cars, with Chan’s unique minivan and Zuckerberg’s performance-oriented GT3 creating quite the power duo on the road.

The Meta CEO posted a selfie with the minivan on Instagram with a caption, “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.”

This isn't the first time Porsche jumped into the minivan concept

In 2020, the German automaker unveiled the Porsche Vision ‘Renndienst,’ a concept minivan originally conceived in 2018. This “family-friendly space concept” could seat up to six passengers while retaining Porsche’s distinct performance DNA. Though just a 1:1 scale model, the Renndienst hinted at what a Porsche minivan might look like Zuckerberg’s Cayenne-based minivan.
