Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, came to the fore again with an extraordinary move. Learning that his wife Priscilla Chan wanted a new minibus, Zuckerberg preferred the luxury car brand Porsche instead of buying a classic minibus. However, there was a problem: There was no minibus in Porsche’s production line.
Mark Zuckerberg made a crazy surprise for his wife
This obstacle was not insurmountable for the tech genius. Zuckerberg collaborated with West Coast Customs, the famous tuning workshop in Los Angeles, to virtually re-create the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT SUV model. The vehicle’s chassis was lengthened, electric sliding doors were added and the interior was redesigned. The result was the world’s first Porsche minivan.
To create a harmonious pair with his wife, Zuckerberg ordered a Porsche GT3 Touring with manual transmission in the same color for himself. Thus, two special gray Porsches were added to the couple’s garage.
What’s interesting is that Porsche has made a similar attempt in the past. In 2020, the brand introduced a minibus concept called ‘Vision Renndienst’. This six-seater concept was designed in 2018 but did not enter the production line. Automotive experts agreed that Zuckerberg’s custom order looks more impressive than Porsche’s official concept.
Zuckerberg’s passion for automobiles is not limited to this. In a video he shared on social media recently, he was looking for his parked car while promoting his new Ray-Ban Meta glasses. This video caught the attention of former Hoonigan cast member Brian Scotto. Responding to Scotto’s comment, Zuckerberg stated that he usually drives a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, but he also has other vehicles in his collection.
