In Pixar's Cars, which real car manufacturer made the model used for Sally Carrera?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars, Porsche made the model used for Sally Carrera.

Sally is specifically designed as a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera. The sports car's rounded body, rear-engine layout, and characteristic silhouette distinguish her from the American stock cars and trucks that dominate Radiator Springs.

The character's full name combines the Porsche model line with a personal name. She is not merely described as a generic Porsche: her model is a 911 Carrera, a version of Porsche's long-running 911 sports-car family.

Sally's identity can be confused with other Cars characters based on real manufacturers. Luigi is a Fiat 500, Guido is a forklift, and Lightning McQueen is a fictional stock car rather than a production model from one manufacturer.
