If you'd said 10 years ago that Elon Musk would become the real-life Justin Hammer and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg would turn into a fun car nerd, people would have laughed at you—myself included. But come 2024, you'd have the last laugh as Zuckerberg was in car news twice over the weekend: once for daily driving a [Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing ]()and again for custom-ordering a [Porsche]() Cayenne Turbo GT "minivan" from West Coast Customs. Y'know, the *Pimp My Ride* guys. Zuckerberg says his wife Priscilla wanted a minivan. Even with the practically infinite money at their disposal, it's hard to beat the practicality. But Zuckerberg decided she needed something faster than a Honda Odyssey, so he had West Coast Customs turn a Porsche [Cayenne Turbo GT]()—one of the quickest, most high-performance SUVs on the planet—into what he calls a minivan. > [View this post on Instagram]() > [A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck)]() West Coast Customs apparently cut the Cayenne Turbo in half, extended the middle section like you would normally see on a limousine conversion, and gave it sliding rear doors. There aren't too many photos that show how the doors work or what the back seat looks like but there is a short clip showing the doors slide. It seems to have three rows of seats inside with second-row captain's chairs made from typical front-row Cayenne Turbo thrones. It's a minivan in the sense that it has sliding rear doors and three rows of seats, but because it's the length of a small limo, it isn't going to be the easiest thing to navigate school parking lots. Also, it won't handle as well as a normal Cayenne Turbo GT. But it'll probably be the fastest three-row car in the school pickup line thanks to its 650-horsepower, 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. Since Zuckerberg can't get enough of manual sports cars these days, he also threw in a manual 911 GT3 for himself in addition to the Cayenne Turbo GT limo-van. You can do that when you're worth $206 billion. At least this is better than building another mega-yacht or a rocket ship. *Got tips?

His love of cars began when he was just a kid playing Gran Turismo 3, grinding out enough race wins with a Mazda Miata to save up for an in-game RUF 911. That passion for small, lightweight sports cars drove his desire to learn more about the industry, get his hands on as many cars as he could, and bring those experiences to life on the page. He cut his teeth writing about BMWs, Volkswagens, and Audis, mostly, and has owned far too many of each. He’s on his fourth 3 Series sedan, but all of his old, cheap German cars have forced him to learn more about car maintenance than his mechanical capability can handle. Too many late nights have been spent scrambling to get a car running by morning so he could get to work. For some reason, he never seems to learn that old Bimmers probably aren’t the best daily drivers. But he loves more than just old German cars. He’ll gladly drive and discuss anything with four (or even three) wheels. Cars aren’t his only passions, though. Nico is also a big nerd and loves movies, video games, comic books, and cares far too much about the New York Giants. So don’t be surprised if you see football references or dumb, obscure movie quotes in any of his car reviews. ### Author social links [Instagram]() [LinkedIn]()
