Porsche marks Toy Story 5's premiere by turning a 911 GT3 RS into Buzz Lightyear

Porsche has celebrated Toy Story 5’s premiere in one of the coolest ways imaginable by going to infinity and beyond and transforming a Porsche 911 GT3 RS into Buzz Lightyear.

The one-off creation was unveiled alongside two other Toy Story-inspired 911 models based on Woody and Jessie.

But it is the Buzz Lightyear car that steals the show thanks to its wild colors and space-themed details.

The special build proves that even one of the supercar brand’s most hardcore track cars can embrace its playful side.

How Porsche turned a 911 GT3 RS into Buzz Lightyear for Toy Story 5

The star of the iconic movie collection is a Porsche 911 GT3 RS supercar finished in Buzz Lightyear’s iconic white, green, and purple color scheme.

Created through the Sonderwunsch customization division, the car takes inspiration directly from the famous Space Ranger’s suit.

The front hood carries Buzz’s Space Ranger logo, while the massive rear wing has been painted to resemble his pop-out wings, complete with red and white stripes underneath.

The iconic supercar brand didn’t stop there either.

The GT3 RS features white magnesium wheels with custom Space Ranger center caps and bespoke Goodyear tires that have been rebranded as ‘Lightyear’ tires.

Even the tires contain hidden Easter eggs developed alongside Disney and Pixar.

Inside, the cabin continues the theme with green seatbelts, green stitching, purple leather accents, and illuminated door sills displaying Buzz’s famous catchphrase: “To Infinity and Beyond.”

There’s a snake in my supercar

While the GT3 RS inspired by Buzz Lightyear is undoubtedly the headline act, there was actually three one-off Toy Story-themed 911s built for the premiere.

Jessie was represented by a 911 Targa 4 GTS featuring a specially developed pearl-effect paint color, blue and red accents, and a red Targa roof inspired by her cowgirl hat.

Woody the cowboy, meanwhile, was transformed into a 911 Carrera T finished in a unique denim-look paint scheme with vintage brown leather throughout the cabin.

The three cars made their debut at the Toy Story 5 world premiere in Los Angeles ahead of the movie’s June 19 release, attended by a star-studded group of people including Taylor Swift who wrote a song for the movie.

Rather than heading into private collections immediately, the cars will be sold as part of a charitable initiative supporting organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, the American Red Cross, and the Starlight Children’s Foundation.

For petrolheads and Pixar lovers alike, it’s a collaboration that proves imagination can still go a very long way, especially when it’s paired with 518HP of naturally aspirated GT3 RS performance.
