Toy Story Porsche Run on Bespoke “Lightyear” Goodyear Tires

 Porsche has revealed three one-of-one 911 models extensively customized by the Sonderwunsch (German for “special wishes”) department in celebration of the highly anticipated release of Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story 5, only in theaters June 19. At the intersection of imagination and engineering, Porsche has collaborated with Disney and Pixar to bring the enduring magic of the Toy Story universe to life in an entirely new way — translating beloved characters into three bespoke, one-of-one Porsche 911 vehicles inspired by Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie. Rooted in Disney and Pixar’s legacy of storytelling that spans generations, this collaboration represents more than a design exercise; it is a celebration of creativity, where iconic characters are reinterpreted by Porsche through craftsmanship and innovation. By channeling the spirit and personality of these characters into each vehicle, the collaboration underscores the unique power of Disney, Pixar Animation Studios, and Porsche to transcend mediums and connect with audiences worldwide in unexpected ways. In keeping with that spirit of purpose and positivity, all three vehicles will be sold as part of a charitable initiative supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross and Starlight Children’s Foundation.

“Watching the characters of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie come to life on the road with the help of the creative minds of Disney and Pixar, Style Porsche, and the Sonderwunsch department is very exciting,” said Timo Resch, President and CEO of Porsche Cars North America. “Many of us – and our children – grew up watching the Toy Story films on the big screen. Celebrating this milestone is particularly rewarding – especially knowing that this initiative will ultimately support children and families in need.”

“For over 30 years, Toy Story has made people of all ages smile,” said Bob Pauley, Production Designer at Pixar Animation Studios and original designer of Buzz Lightyear. “Reuniting with the team at Porsche that created the Sally Special from Disney and Pixar’s Cars, and working to create these three all-new Toy Story 5 cars which will hopefully bring joy everywhere they go, is very meaningful and a great way to raise money for a good cause.”

“For decades, kids around the world have been discovering the Toy Story films – now with these cars, we’re excited to bring Toy Story into the world in a new way, and in a way I think will be surprising and exciting for fans,” added Jay Ward, Creative Director at Pixar Animation Studios.

This commitment to giving back is shared by nonprofit partners, who highlighted the impact this collaboration will have on children, families, and communities across the United States.

“A mentor is one of the most important roles we can play in a young person’s story – inspiring them to dream,” said Artis Stevens, President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. “This partnership will expand access to life-changing programs ensuring young people have a friend by their side who helps them reach their true potential.”

“At Starlight, we bring moments of happiness and play to hospitalized kids and their families through programs like Toy Deliveries and themed Hospital Gowns,” said Adam Garone, CEO of Starlight Children’s Foundation. “Support like this allows us to expand our reach and create meaningful experiences across children’s hospitals nationwide, helping kids be kids, even during challenging times.”

“We’re grateful to partners like Porsche, Disney and Pixar for this opportunity that helps us meet the greatest needs across our mission,” said Anne McKeough, chief development officer at the American Red Cross. “Their generosity ensures we can support families and communities when help can’t wait…
