Porsche x West Coast Customs pimp Zuckerberg's ride
West Coast Customs stretches a Porsche Cayenne into a minivan for Mark Zuckerberg’s wifeMark Zuckerberg, you’ve officially been pimped, daddy!
Facebook boss and tech nerd Mark Zuckerberg has taken delivery of a custom Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan this week, courtesy of iconic US car modification company, West Coast Customs.
The stretched Cayenne is actually for his wife Priscilla Chan, who Zuckerberg explained in his post “wanted a minivan”, prompting Zuck to take matters into his own hands, designing something he now insists Porsche should offer as a vehicle.
It looks like a regular Cayenne SUV at either end, but the mid-section has been stretched, the wheelbase significantly extended, and the rear doors have been replaced by electric sliding doors (just like a Kia Carnival) on both sides.
Of course, Zuckerberg had to get matching ‘his and hers’ cars, so while Chan rolls around in her new (and according to some, bulletproof) ‘minivan’, Zuck snagged himself a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring.
Both sport the same hue – which looks to be the German marque’s ‘Crayon’ grey colour – while matching yellow brake callipers peep out from behind the gloss black wheels seen on both machines.
It’s unclear whether West Coast Customs added an extra row of seating but says ‘stay tuned’ to its Instagram page for a better look at the interior, and no doubt more detail on the Cayenne Minivan.
Judging by a pair of bucket seats in the second row – visible when the electric door slides open – there’s probably a third row of seating wedged in the back.
Something else we’re keen to know is whether its had any other mechanical upgrades, although we’re not sure Porsche’s juicy 485kW 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 needs any more work.
Even still, Chan (perhaps jokingly) commented on Zuck’s post “They put in a boost mode. For when I’m late to drop off???”.
The handover ceremony doesn’t appear to have been quite as elaborate as the good old days when Pimp My Ride host (and rapper) Xzibit would bring guests in for an unveiling, only to reveal insane modifications and wacky additions; think a waterfall, chocolate fountain, flame-throwing exhaust pipes, and even a hot tub at one point.
Outrageous stuff but fantastic television, nonetheless.
