Porsche is bringing Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story” characters to life on four wheels.
The luxury automaker unveiled three one-of-one Porsche 911 models inspired by Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie at the Los Angeles world premiere of Disney and Pixar’s “Toy Story 5.”
The custom cars were created by Porsche’s Sonderwunsch department – German for “special wishes” – which serves as the company’s personalization program.
The trio will be sold as part of a charitable initiative benefiting Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross and Starlight Children’s Foundation, according to Porsche.
“Following the positive, inspiring spirit of the characters in the films, the cars were designed not only to make people smile, but to also support a charitable initiative benefiting the American Red Cross, Starlight Children’s Foundation and Big Brothers Big Sisters to help families and children in need,” a spokesperson for Porsche told FOX Business in an email.

Pricing for the three custom models was not immediately available.
“Watching the characters of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie come to life on the road with the help of the creative minds of Disney and Pixar, Style Porsche, and the Sonderwunsch department is very exciting,” Timo Resch, president and CEO of Porsche Cars North America, said in a statement.
“Many of us – and our children – grew up watching the Toy Story films on the big screen. Celebrating this milestone is particularly rewarding – especially knowing that this initiative will ultimately support children and families in need.”
The Buzz Lightyear-inspired model is a 911 GT3 RS with the optional Weissach Package.
Its white, green and purple color scheme mirrors the Space Ranger’s suit, while its large rear wing nods to Buzz’s wings.

Porsche also teamed with Goodyear on custom “Lightyear” tires. Inside, the car features green accents, Pebble Grey leather, Arctic Grey Race-Tex and illuminated door sill guards reading “To Infinity and Beyond,” according to Porsche.
Jessie’s model is a 2026 911 Targa 4 GTS with 532 horsepower.
Porsche created a new paint color, Jessie White Metallic, for the model, pairing it with Cobalt Blue Metallic, Atacama Yellow and GTS Red accents. A red Targa top mimics Jessie’s cowgirl hat, while the cabin includes denim-inspired fabric and illuminated door sills that say “YEE HAW!”
Woody’s vehicle is based on a 2026 911 Carrera T. Porsche said the model uses a custom paint process designed to mimic worn blue jeans with visible denim texture.
Inside, the car features brown vintage leather and door sill guards reading “Ride Like the Wind!”

“Reuniting with the team at Porsche that created the Sally Special from Disney and Pixar’s Cars, and working to create these three all-new Toy Story 5 cars which will hopefully bring joy everywhere they go, is very meaningful and a great way to raise money for a good cause,” Bob Pauley, production designer at Pixar Animation Studios and original designer of Buzz Lightyear, said in a statement.
