According to the auction house, the price was a record for a new Porsche sold at auction.

The Porsche is factory-customized with input from the creative team at Pixar, in a unique color that's spot on.

It also includes special touches from the film, including Sally's somewhat famous tattoo and even a "Kachow!" (Lightning McQueen's famous expression) mode on the drive selector.

Every dollar of the sale price for the one-of-a-kind 911 Sally Special will be donated to two charities: Girls Inc. and USA for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency.
