Mark Zuckerberg Has Custom Porsche Cayenne Minivan Built For His Wife

Zuckerberg's Bold Venture into Car Customization

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is famous (and infamous) as mogul in the realm of social media, but his latest endeavor takes a detour into the automotive world. Collaborating with the famous West Coast Customs, Zuckerberg transformed a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT into a luxurious minivan for his wife, Priscilla Chan. While Porsche is famous for its sports cars and SUVs, the company has never ventured into making a minivan. But for Zuckerberg, money and creativity know no limits.

The Porsche That Became a Minivan

Zuckerberg’s project began with the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, a model already known for its performance and luxury. Fitted with a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine producing up to 650 horsepower in updated form, the base model is an impressive machine. However, the tech mogul wasn't content with the stock design. He wanted something more practical, particularly for family use. Thus, the Cayenne was stretched, and sliding doors were installed, giving it the feel of a minivan with the heart of a performance SUV.

A Personal Touch to Porsche

In social media posts, Zuckerberg proudly shared his creation, revealing how he personally designed the vehicle. The customized SUV features a stretched wheelbase, lower ride height, and a larger rear spoiler. Additionally, the car sports black alloy wheels paired with yellow brake calipers, giving it a sleek, aggressive stance. This minivan, which still carries the DNA of a high-performance vehicle, adds a dash of Silicon Valley flair to the family’s collection.

Porsche’s Minivan Vision

Interestingly, Porsche itself once entertained the idea of a minivan with its Vision Renndienst concept, designed in 2018. The Renndienst, however, never went beyond the prototype stage. The Renndienst model had a futuristic design with six seats, placing the driver in a central position. Although Zuckerberg’s minivan doesn’t replicate this setup, it opens up the possibility of what Porsche could achieve if they embraced the concept for production.

A Luxury Minivan Market?

While the luxury SUV market is saturated, the minivan sector, especially in regions like Asia, has seen growing demand for high-end models. Zuckerberg’s bespoke Cayenne reflects that trend, though it is unclear if the customization was purely aesthetic or if performance upgrades were made as well. With the ongoing development of a three-row electric SUV from Porsche set to release by 2027, one can’t help but wonder if the tech billionaire's vision might influence the automaker’s future designs.
