PORSCHE BUILDS THREE 911S FOR TOY STORY 5 AND CHARITY
By FINALLY OFFLINE | 6/10/2026
Porsche unveiled three unique Sonderwunsch 911s at the Toy Story 5 world premiere: a Carrera T for Woody using a denim weave paint, a Targa 4 GTS for Jessie in the newly developed Jessie White Metallic color, and a GT3 RS for Buzz Lightyear. All three will be sold privately, with proceeds going to the American Red Cross, Starlight Children's Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. It marks the first time Sonderwunsch has used an entertainment IP as a design brief combined with a charity sale structure.
Key Points
- Porsche developed Jessie White Metallic, a new paint color with pearl overlay, specifically for this commission.
- Woody's Carrera T uses a denim paint finish layered from Golf Blue, White, and Dark Sea Blue to mimic aged denim.
- Proceeds from all three cars go to the American Red Cross, Starlight Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
Toy Story 5 opens in theaters June 19, 2026. Porsche arrived at the Los Angeles world premiere nine days early with three cars nobody else has, and nobody else will ever have.
The three builds come from the Sonderwunsch program, Porsche's bespoke commission division based in Zuffenhausen. Each is a unique 911 modeled after a character from the film: Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear. All three will be sold privately, with proceeds split across three American nonprofits: the American Red Cross, Starlight Children's Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. This marks the first time Sonderwunsch has combined an entertainment IP with a charitable sale structure in a single commission block.
## Three Colors Built Woody's Carrera T and None of Them Are Brown
The 2026 911 Carrera T assigned to Woody uses a three color custom paint process that required Golf Blue, White, and a Dark Sea Blue base coat. The Sonderwunsch team layered these to build a finish that reads as aged, worn denim, with the actual denim weave texture engineered into the panel surface and visible at close range. Woody's western shirt has been on screen for thirty years; the paint job requires standing six inches away to fully understand the reference.
Illuminated door sills on each car carry a catchphrase specific to its character. Woody's reads "There's a snake in my boot." That detail alone represents dozens of hours of development time. The Sonderwunsch program does not add features. It builds intentions.
## Jessie White Metallic Did Not Exist Before This Commission
Porsche developed a new exterior color for the Jessie 911 Targa 4 GTS: Jessie White Metallic, formulated as white with a pearl overlay referenced directly from the pearl buttons on the character's western shirt. The color required a separate approval from Style Porsche before any paintwork began. The Targa 4 GTS produces 532 horsepower and carries the 911's only folding roof structure. A pearl white finish sits differently on the Targa's rear sail panels than it does on a coupe, which is part of why the character assignment was deliberate.
The [Sonderwunsch program spent 400 hours on a single paint job for a Moldova anniversary commission](/quick/porsche-sonderwunsch-tree-of-life-400-hours-p9k4m3rx), encoding a national symbol across the entire exterior. Jessie's car required building a color that does not exist in any standard Porsche palette, which means the development lead time began months before the premiere date.
## The GT3 RS Is the Most Coherent Character Assignment in This Project
The 911 GT3 RS is Porsche's most track focused road car. It produces 525 horsepower from a naturally aspirated 4.0 liter flat six, runs rear wheel drive only, and ships with a carbon fiber reinforced body package. Assigning it to Buzz Lightyear is the single most coherent creative decision in this project. The character who cannot stop believing in his own superpowers gets the car that exists at the outer limit of what a road legal 911 can do.
The illuminated door sills read "To infinity and beyond." The build includes painted details developed over hundreds of hours by the Sonderwunsch team.

Disney brought three briefs, each carrying fifty years of visual language.
## Forget the Red Carpet. Look at the Charity Structure.
Private Sonderwunsch commissions follow a standard path: a client brings a concept, the program builds it, the client keeps it permanently. These three cars break that model. They will sell, and the proceeds go to organizations working in children's health, disaster relief, and youth mentorship.
The American Red Cross operates across 150 countries. Starlight Children's Foundation focuses on hospitalized children. Big Brothers Big Sisters of America runs the largest individual mentoring network in the country. Porsche is using its highest tier customization program as a fundraising instrument for the first time, which means a sales and legal structure had to be built from scratch alongside the cars themselves.
The red carpet reveal was nine days before the film opens. The cars exist to generate awareness for both the movie and the charities. Porsche does not enter a partnership at this tier without full creative control, and the denim weave visible in Woody's paint is the evidence.
