Mark Zuckerberg Says His Wife Wanted a Minivan — So He Designed a Porsche He's 'Pretty Sure Should Exist' And Made It a His-and-Hers Set

Most people, when their spouse asks for a minivan, grab a Honda or a Chrysler and call it a day. Not Mark Zuckerberg. He grabbed a Porsche — and then redesigned it to fit his wife's wish list.

In October, the Meta CEO shared the project on Instagram, kicking off what he called a "new side quest." His caption read:

"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. Threw in a manual GT3 Touring to make it his and hers. Thanks @porsche and @westcoastcustoms for helping to make this happen."

Not everyone dreams of driving a minivan — and Zuckerberg clearly wasn't about to settle for one either. Instead, he set out to create something practical enough for a growing family but still cool enough to park next to a row of supercars.

Since Porsche doesn't make a minivan, Zuckerberg teamed up with West Coast Customs — the shop made famous by Pimp My Ride — to turn a Cayenne Turbo GT into a one-of-a-kind family hauler. They stretched the wheelbase, added power sliding doors, installed a third row of seats, and gave it the sort of swagger minivans usually don't get.

And because one custom Porsche wasn't enough, Zuckerberg added a second to the garage. He picked up a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring in the same Crayon gray color, creating a matching "his-and-hers" set — one for hauling kids, one for hauling… well, everything else.

It's the kind of move that's part practical, part flex — and very on brand for Zuckerberg, who's no stranger to big gestures. Earlier in 2024, he commissioned a marble statue of Chan, a nod to ancient Roman traditions. The Instagram caption read, "Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife." Apparently, custom Porsches and statues both make the gift list.

Interestingly, Porsche once toyed with the idea of a minivan too — though theirs stayed tucked safely in the concept garage. In 2020, the company unveiled the Vision "Renndienst," a futuristic, family-friendly space designed to seat up to six people. It was first dreamed up in 2018 and even got a full-size model, but Porsche never moved forward with production. So while Zuckerberg's creation might seem out of left field, he's not the first to wonder what a Porsche minivan could actually look like.

For Zuckerberg and Chan — who met at Harvard and married in 2012 — the matching cars are just another page in their story. They share three daughters: Maxima, August, and Aurelia. While Zuckerberg's usual daily driver is reportedly a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing, his newly customized Cayenne minivan might be the most famous family car on the internet right now.

And if Porsche ever decides it's time to actually build a minivan, they might want to give Zuckerberg a consulting fee.
