Default Mark Zuckerberg and his wife reveal their extravagant new 'his and hers' Porsches

Was sent this from a friend. I'd like to see his spec sheet.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...T-Minivan.html

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said his wife, Priscilla Chan, wanted a new minivan for their growing family - so they got a pair of specially designed Porsches.

Zuckerberg said he designed the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan vehicle alongside the designers at Porsche and the firm West Coast Customs, a southern California-based auto body shop that specializes in the modifications of luxury cars.

The Cayenne looks similar to the regular SUV but with an extensively lengthened chassis to create more space for the interior together with fully custom sliding doors
The couple have three children and Priscilla wanted something stylish to drive the kids around in while still being able to get behind the wheel of a Porsche.

The company currently doesn't make a minivan but if Zuckerberg's custom design proves popular, perhaps the automaker may consider introducing a new line.

Meanwhile, Zuckerberg picked up a manual GT3 Touring which sell new for around $180,000.

'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,' Zuckerberg wrote.

'Threw in a manual GT3 Touring to make it his and hers. Thanks @porsche and @westcoastcustoms for helping to make this happen,' the Facebook founder added.

In a video posted to Instagram, the custom Cayenne looks to have been retrofitted with power sliding doors, similar to that found in a regular minivan.

In a video posted to Instagram, the custom Cayenne looks to have been retrofitted with power sliding doors, similar to that found in a regular minivan.

It's not known what how the car's interiors were customized.

Porsche has 'a 'special wishes' department called Sonderwunsch that allows customers to have their cars customized to their precise requirements,' a spokesperson for the company explained.

It's not known how much Zuckerberg, who is worth $202 billion, paid for the vehicles but a regular Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT SUV can be purchased for around $200,000.

The design drew a mixed response online.

'This is insane.. insanely cool or insanely horrible depending on how you look at it,' wrote one commenter.

'He said they wanted a Porsche minivan, but that looks more like a Porsche limo. Looks too long and impractical to me,' wrote another.

'Just for perspective. As far as financial impact even if this car costed him $500k, it is the same to him as you or I buying a Starbucks coffee….,' added a third.

'Awful taste but great execution comes to mind,' posted a fourth.

Zuckerberg turned 40 in July. The couple have three daughters, Maxima, August, and Aurelia

Both cars appear to have a matching light gray finishes in a color that Porsche describes as 'Crayon.'

In the past, Zuckerberg has been pictured in far more low key vehicles including a black Acura TSX, a Volkswagen Golf GTI hatchback, and a Honda Fit - all worth around $30,000.

However it is known the Meta CEO dropped a cool $1million on an Italian Pagani Huayra.

Being unique doesn’t always mean it’s something good, sometimes it’s unique because it isn’t.
Porsche with sliding doors from west coast customs, facepalm from Facebook.

Having money doesn't mean that you have good taste.

People assume he even paid for these. Companies would love to gift vehicles to major billionaire CEOs if they could. It's pennies to porsche after all.

I hope he paid, plus a hefty ADM. The douche-pickle can afford it and he took away a non-AI person's build slot. Porsche is not a non-profit, and doesn't need a controversial Zuck for exposure.
I'd like to get the Touring when he tires of it.

Obvious.
In this particular case, it's $206 Billion worth of bad taste.

Wonderful news. They finally found a good way to put the profits they made off of selling folks' private info to the highest bidder to good use. Bless their big hearts!
