The project began in November 2021 and brought together members of the first Cars team that brought both the movie character and life-size Sally Carrera to life more than 20 years ago. Part of the team included Jay Ward, creative director of franchise at Pixar Animation Studios, and Bob Pauley, character production designer who first drew Sally Carrera for the Cars film. They were supported by members of the Sonderwunsch team at Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur in Stuttgart and designers from Style Porsche in Weissach. The team worked together for ten months - the result is a unique factory creation. Porsche interior designer Daniela Milošević led the team that worked with Pixar to design the new blue hue as well as the vehicle interior. "We were able to have complete freedom, which was great! In the film, Sally Carrera was a lawyer from California who appreciated style and elegance. At the same time, she was down-to-earth and fun-loving." says Milošević. "The special sallyblaumetallic continues into the interior, where it creates both obvious highlights and subtle details that will hopefully bring a smile to the future owner's face. At the same time, it was important to us not to forget everyday usability and practicality. 911 Sally Special is meant to be driven gladly and frequently. We developed a special Pepita fabric upholstery in three colors, combined with chalk-colored leather and stitching in speed blue. Working on these details makes the project special and brings back many memories of the movie and Sally Carrera."
