Mark Zuckerberg has bought a family van — and it’s a modded version of a Porsche SUV that can go from zero to 60 m.p.h. in just over three seconds.
The billionaire Facebook CEO revealed in an Instagram post over the weekend that he has designed a custom Porsche minivan – the first ever to hit the road – for his wife, Priscilla Chan.
“Priscilla wanted a minivan, so I’ve been designing something I’m pretty sure should exist,” Zuckerberg wrote.
Chan replied: “They put in a boost mode. For when I’m late for drop off???”
LA-based West Coast Customs modified a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT into a one-of-a-kind minivan with electric sliding doors and an extended frame.
It is unclear whether the luxury minivan has a third row, though captain seats are visible in photos posted to the billionaire’s Instagram account.
Zuckerberg did not disclose the custom minivan’s technical specs, but he said it’s a modded Cayenne Turbo GT — a hybrid SUV with an eight-cylinder, 650-horsepower engine that can reach a top track speed of 190 miles per hour.
Zuckerberg — who usually sports a Cadillac CT5-V — said he also “threw in” a matching light gray Porsche 911 GT3 Touring to make the cars a “his and hers” set.
The tech magnate may have designed the first Porsche minivan to hit the streets, but the German carmaker has toyed with the idea in the past.
The company built a Porsche Vision Renndienst in 2018 and kept the minivan model under wraps for two years.
The Renndienst — which means “racing service” in German — had a futuristic look, with smooth edges, a steeply sloped front windshield and grille inspired by a space shuttle and a central lounge driver’s seat. The minivan had a second row with two seats and a bench in the back that could seat three passengers.
Zuckerberg’s minivan has a more traditional design, with a driver and passenger seat up front and a familiar front windshield and grille.
It is not the first lavish gift Zuckerberg has given Chan.
In August, Zuckerberg posted a photo of a gargantuan garden statue in Chan’s likeness that he gave his wife. The statue depicts a teal Chan covered in what looks like a liquid silver wave.
“Bringing back the Roman tradition of making sculptures of your wife,” Zuckerberg wrote in the Instagram post.
“The more of me the better?” Chan replied with a heart emoji.
