Sometimes life imitates art that imitates life.
Porsche has built a one-of-a-kind 911 inspired by Sally from the animated film "Cars."
The Sally Special is based on the 911 GTS and finished in a unique "Sally Blue" paint fashioned after the on-screen characters.
It has also been equipped with a set of twisted turbo style wheels like the cartoon cars, which was based on a 2002 911 Carrera, that are not otherwise available on the 911 today.

What the car does not have is eyes on the windshield, but it does get a set of bespoke LED Matrix design headlights with full silver surrounds.
The car is set to be auctioned at the RM Sotheby's Monterey event on August 20, but Porsche will not be cashing the check. All the proceeds will be split between Girls Inc. and USA for UNHCR, the latter charity of which has been heavily involved in helping refugees of the war in Ukraine.
