There have been all kinds of movie-related cars, from obscure things like the "Batman v. Superman" Jeep Renegade, to far more wise and successful examples such as the various "Bullitt" Ford Mustangs. Soon to join them is a special model from Porsche based on Sally the 911 from the film "Cars." And it'll be a mighty exclusive machine.

The car is a joint project among Style Porsche, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and a group from Pixar led by Creative Director Jay Ward and Production Designer Bob Pauley. Both Ward and Pauley worked on the original "Cars" film, and Pauley has been at Pixar since 1993 and worked on the original "Toy Story."

We are quite a few years and a couple of sequels away from that first "Cars" movie, so you may be wondering, why do a Sally-inspired 911 now? Well, apparently Sally is canonically a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera. So this year is the 20th birthday (manufacturing day?) of Sally, making it a pretty decent time for something special.
