Mark Zuckerberg and Wife Share Thoughts About Their Porsche Models
Mark Zuckerberg took to Instagram to brag about the new family cars. He drives a Porsche 911 GT3 Touring, while his wife has just received the world's only Porsche Cayenne minivan.

The customized SUV is for the mom who lives life "a quarter mile at a time," the billionaire husband explains. He is the one who came up with the idea, and surprisingly, his followers love it.

The post about the family's brand-new Porsches collected approximately 700,000 reactions in the first 16 hours and a gazillion comments. The fact that the Meta founder and his wife shared a conversation in the comments section only raised the engagement of the social media post.

"Pricilla wanted a minivan, so I've been designing something I'm pretty sure should exist: a Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan," Mark explained. The vehicle is an SUV with an extended wheelbase and sliding doors, which are specifically designed by Mark to help Pricilla when she goes on a drive with the family's three daughters: nine-year-old Maxima, seven-year-old August, and one-year-old Aurelia.

Strangely, no one even complains about the odd (that's just another word for "ugly") shape of the modded Cayenne, which also sits closer to the ground. Just remember the backlash Porsche had to deal with when they revealed their first SUV back in 2002.

Mark Zuckerberg provides no information, but we suspect the former SUV/current minivan also got an extra row of seats in the back. Otherwise, the extended wheelbase wouldn't really make much sense.

"They put in a boost mode. For when I’m late for drop off?" Pricilla asks in the comments section of Mark's post. Her billionaire husband replies: "We all know you live life a quarter mile at a time."

If West Coast Customs did not interfere with the engine, Pricilla's Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan should come with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 that pumps out 631 horsepower (640 metric horsepower) and 627 pound-feet (850 Newton-meters) of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission put the power down through all four wheels.

All these make the SUV flash from 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 kph) in just 2.8 seconds and hit a top speed of 186 mph (300 kph). Those numbers might be pretty useful when Pricilla and her kids are late for school or ballet classes.

However, Mark Zuckerberg's Porsche is a whole different breed. He drives a 911 GT3 Touring, powered by a six-cylinder 4.0-liter naturally aspirated engine, good for 502 horsepower (510 metric horsepower) and 346 pound-feet (470 Newton meters) of torque. The GT3 comes with either a seven-speed PDK automatic transmission or a six-speed manual.

"The GT3 Touring was part of 'some other things,'" Mark admits just days after he revealed that a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is his daily driver. "We'll need the Blackwing minivan for that," Mark proposed, and West Coast Customs was quick to reply, telling him it could be done.

The sports sedan is powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine, which generates 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet (893 Newton meters). Cadillac sells the model with either a ten-speed auto box or a six-speed manual.

People started asking questions about the gear boxes of the Caddy and of the Porsche. "You shouldn't even have to ask," Zuckerberg replied. We got the point. He specced those cars right!
