Mark Zuckerberg, the genius behind Facebook, recently made headlines for something other than tech innovations and social media. This time, it’s all about cars. Known for his taste in high-end vehicles, Zuckerberg transformed a Porsche Cayenne into a one-of-a-kind minivan for his wife Priscilla Chan. Yes, you read that right, a Porsche minivan.
Priscilla Chan, who has been by Zuckerberg’s side through his journey with Facebook, had been eyeing a new car. However, Zuckerberg didn’t just settle for any typical family van. Instead, he took customization to the next level, working with Porsche and the renowned West Coast Customs to transform a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT SUV into a one-of-a-kind luxury minivan. The result? A vehicle that marries the elegance of Porsche with the practicality of a minivan—a perfect blend for Chan, Zuckerberg, and their three children.
A Unique Creation for Priscilla Chan
When your husband is one of the wealthiest people in the world, you can expect a car that’s more than just your standard minivan. The Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan, a vehicle that doesn’t exist in Porsche’s regular lineup, required some serious modifications to achieve its unique look and function.
To accommodate the couple’s family of five, the Cayenne’s chassis has been extended, making room for additional seating and comfort. One of the standout features is the inclusion of power-sliding rear doors, which offer the convenience of a traditional minivan while maintaining the luxury feel of a Porsche.
Zuckerberg’s choice of color further elevates this custom ride. Both Chan’s Porsche minivan and Zuckerberg’s new personal toy—a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring—are finished in a striking light-gray shade known as ‘Crayon.’ The matching cars form a sleek "his and hers" duo, adding a touch of class and sophistication to their shared garage.
The Zuckerberg Touch
Mark Zuckerberg’s attention to detail didn’t stop at creating a minivan from an SUV. Working closely with Porsche and West Coast Customs, the Facebook CEO ensured that every aspect of the car met his wife’s needs without compromising on luxury. The result is a vehicle that seamlessly combines function with Porsche’s unmistakable design language. Though no specific performance upgrades were mentioned, it’s safe to assume that this Cayenne-based minivan retains much of the Turbo GT’s power, meaning Chan is likely driving one of the fastest minivans on the planet.
In addition to crafting the perfect family vehicle, Zuckerberg also indulged in his own passion for speed with the purchase of a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. Known for its exhilarating performance and precise handling, the 911 GT3 Touring is a car enthusiast’s dream, and it seems fitting for someone like Zuckerberg, who undoubtedly appreciates top-tier engineering and design.
Sharing the Ride on Social Media
As with most things in Zuckerberg’s life, the world found out about these incredible vehicles through Facebook and Instagram. Mark Zuckerberg shared images of both cars, revealing his custom creations to his millions of followers. The posts quickly went viral, sparking curiosity and excitement among car enthusiasts and the general public alike. Fans speculated about the cost of these bespoke vehicles, but with a reported net worth of $202 billion, it’s safe to say Zuckerberg wasn’t too worried about the price tag.
While the exact amount spent on the minivan conversion remains undisclosed, it’s clear that Zuckerberg spared no expense in creating something special for his wife. And why not? When you’re Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, you can afford to think outside the box—or in this case, outside the typical minivan.
