Rust-eze team

Lightning McQueen

Though much of Lightning Mcqueen's design is unique, loose design cues were taken from the Chevrolet Corvette C6, Dodge Viper ZB I

Montgomery "Lightning" McQueen often referred to as "Lightning McQueen" (voiced by Owen Wilson in the films, Mater and the Ghostlight, the Cars video game and the last episode of Cars Toons, Ben Rausch in Cars 3: Driven to Win, Keith Ferguson in all other media) is not modeled directly after a specific make and model, although his design contains some elements inspired by the Chevrolet Corvette C6, Dodge Viper (ZB I), and Gen 4 NASCAR stock cars 2006. He owns a Racing Academy Team with Doc Hudson called the "Doc Hudson Racing Academy" (now it is known as the "Lightning McQueen Racing Academy" after Doc's sudden passing) where he trains rookie racers in the act of speed and good sportsmanship. Together with his friends, Cruz Ramirez and Tow Mater, Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy is a popular racing school in the world of Cars. Throughout his career, he hasn't suffered a DNF, until the third film, when he crashed out in the form of a horrific rollover in an effort to close the gap to Jackson Storm, his high tech next generation rival.

On special races, McQueen gets modified for special occasions. His most common one is his Monster Truck form who refers to as Monster McQueen and uses it for monster truck rally races against Count Spatula, The Crippler and Ginormous. As Monster McQueen, Lightning can shout lightning related threats to his monster truck opponents when he passes them or gets passed. For his visit to Santa Carberera, Lightning McQueen gets modified in his beach racing modification. Beach Racing McQueen has a red and yellow paint job with a black lightning bolt and his number 95 in yellow in a white circle on his sides. He also has chrome rims and a black spoiler on the back. He does not have his sponsor on his hood, sides or back. For his visit in Motoropolis City, McQueen get upgraded for street racing. Street Racing McQueen has a custom modification to his body with multiple air intakes on his hood and sides. His red paint job appears a little brighter and has black stripes going through the middle of his body and on the sides with his number in black with red outlines inside a white circle. He has two chrome exhaust pipes on his sides, custom street racing Lightyear tires and a drag racing wheelie bumper on his back. This form is one of Lightning's fastest upgrades. McQueen gets upgraded for Off Road Racing in Autovia. Off Road Racing McQueen has an off-road racing suspension and racing tires to tackle unstable terrain as well as two sets of rally headlights on his hood and roof. His paint job has a different shaped 95 in yellow and a white lightning bolt design on his sides. His sponsor is also printed on his hood and sides. His exhaust pipes were moved to the back with this mode. For the final race against Chick Hicks at the Radiator Springs Speedway, Lightning McQueen get modified specially for this event. Speedway McQueen is his fastest of his previous upgrades. His custom upgrade is an extremely aerodynamic design with side air intakes on his front and an extra air intake on his rooftop. He also has an orange lightning bolt sticker over his front fenders and a striking lightning bolt and his number in a combination of yellow and orange. He also has chrome racing tires and a red rear wing for downforce. His exhaust pipes are also at the back giving a high pitch stock car racing roar. It is said that Lightning's Speedway engine has 850 horsepower and a top speed of over 200 mph. He uses this mode to beat Chick Hicks who is also upgraded for speed like Lightning.

Mack

Mack (voiced by John Ratzenberger) is a 1985 Mack Super-Liner bearing license plate "RUSTEZ3". A dedicated member of the Rust-eze Medicated Bumper Ointment Team (and now Dinoco Oil), having the role of McQueen's (and now Ramirez's) transport, Mack pulls Lightning McQueen's (and now Ramirez's) trailer to his (and now her) races. Lightning's one loyal teammate after his entire pit crew resigns in protest at the end of the season decider, he inadvertently sets up the predicament suffered by McQueen throughout the movie. The grill on him suggests a nose and his top cover (with the Rusteze logo) suggests a Lumberjack hat.

McQueen exhorts Mack to drive through the night to his tiebreaker race with Chick Hicks and The King in Los Angeles, despite federal DOT regulations which legally grant Mack ten hours daily of much-needed off-duty rest^[1] alongside "all those sleeping trucks" at the last truck stop on I-40. Lightning hopes to reach the venue first and to hang out with the Dinoco team. As a result, Mack falls asleep and, distracted by the Delinquent Road Hazards (who attempt to push him off the road to the shoulder), loses Lightning. Mack arrives in Radiator Springs after Doc reveals Lightning's location and is both very relieved ("Thank the manufacturer, you're alive!") and apologetic ("I'm so sorry I lost you, boss. I'll make it up to you..."). Lightning, who is glad to see him, forgives him.

Mack acts as Lightning's pit crew for the big race (since he has none) and worriedly asks if he's alright when he spins out, just before Doc and the others show up to help. Following the race, he congratulates McQueen on his loss for helping Strip Weathers after he is taken out. During the closing credits, Mack views automotive versions of previous Pixar films (such as Toy Car Story and Monster Trucks, Inc.) at a restored 1950s drive-in cinema. Commenting on other characters played by John Ratzenberger (including Hamm the piggy truck and the Abominable Snowplow), he eagerly applauds each of them until he realizes they're all played by the same actor, then demands to know "What kind of cut-rate production is this?!".

"This one is a homage to my father... John Lasseter knew that my father drove a Mack truck and that's why he gave me this character. The truck was one of my first loves because I used to ride around with him in it from time to time."
— John Ratzenberger^[2]

Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski proclaimed April 21, 2006, Friday Mack Trucks-Disney/Pixar "Cars" Day^[3] in Mack's honor during the 41-city "CARS Road Trip '06" promotional tour.^[4]

Mack is seen in the short Mater and the Ghostlight after Lightning established his headquarters on US Route 66. In Cars 2 he appears in a pair of brief cameo appearances at the start and end, where his two lines are "Oh, his best friend greetings. They get longer every year," and "Oh, those two are perfect for each other.". He appears in Cars 3 with a much larger role compared to Cars 2. He is still working as McQueen's transport. 4 months after McQueen's accident, he is in Radiator Springs and takes McQueen, Luigi, and Guido to the Rust-eze training center. Later, he takes McQueen, Cruz, Luigi, and Guido to the Thunder Hollow demolition derby circuit and after arriving, he comes up with the idea to disguise McQueen. On their way back, he is forced to pull over when Cruz opens his hauler and decides to part ways. He accompanies McQueen to pick Cruz up again and they head to Thomasville, and then to the Florida 500.

In a deleted scene, before McQueen heads to the tiebreaker race in California, Mack heads to a truck stop, after his grill is covered by a moth blizzard, to be washed. A still impatient McQueen comes outside the trailer to chase after Mack, and that is how he is lost. In another deleted scene, albeit a dream sequence where McQueen is in Radiator Springs, his V8 Alcohol motor is inside a steamroller, and Mater borrows his body; Mack makes a mistake, thinking Mater is McQueen, and takes him to the race.

'Not Chuck' and Lightning McQueen's pit crew

Lightning McQueen's pit crew are generic forklifts who only appear at the start of the film, never to be acknowledged again. They quit after McQueen said that he is a one-man show. One of them, presumably the acting crew chief is voiced by Mike Nelson. After the official crew chief had decided to quit, he is referred to by McQueen as "Chuck", and retorts angrily afterwards, "And my name is not Chuck!". In the credits, he is referred to as "Not Chuck". They appear in the film (only to leave almost immediately) to show McQueen's selfishness and inability to work with others. McQueen had a crew chief before the film, but is not seen in the film, because McQueen believes he a one man show so fires him, which haunts him). The chief is mentioned several times at the Dinoco 400 race. The crew is replaced by McQueen's friends from Radiator Springs and Mack for the big race.

In Cars 2, McQueen has apparently hired a new pit crew as he mentions having given them all a vacation when asked to attend the World Grand Prix, but his friends from Radiator Springs again offer to become his crew for a race and he accepts.

Not Chuck returns in Cars: Race-O-Rama as a playable character in the Guido Kart races (a Cars version of Mario Kart). He still has his Rust-eze paint job from the film despite quitting on Lightning's team for four years. He may have had a change of heart and rejoined his team after McQueen's good sportsmanship.

Harv

Harv (voiced by Jeremy Piven in the U.S. version, Jeremy Clarkson in the UK version) is Lightning McQueen's agent. Never seen on-screen, McQueen speaks to Harv via his speaker phone when McQueen and Mack are en route to the tiebreaker race and again when Mack is in Radiator Springs to pick up McQueen. Consequently, very little is known of Harv's character except that he threatened to fire Mack if he doesn't get McQueen into his trailer.

Harv is also based on the character Ari Gold from the HBO series Entourage. Although he is not seen in the actual film, Jeremy Clarkson believes that he is a 1980 Ford Granada Ghia, while in the American version, he is thought to be a 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Sedan.

Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze

1963 Dodge Dart (Rusty)

1967 Dodge A100 (Dusty)

The Rust-eze Brothers, Rusty and Dusty, are the spokescars and owners of Rust-eze, the team that sponsors Lightning and that gave him his "big break", but they are somewhat awkward. Rusty is a 1963 Dodge Dart and Dusty, a 1967 Dodge A100.^[5] Rusty and Dusty are voiced by real-life brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi (respectively) of National Public Radio's Car Talk, using that program's closing line "...and don't drive like my brother!" Rusty bears an intentional resemblance to Tom Magliozzi's infamous green 1963 Dart, named "The Dartre".^[6] Dusty is also based on a real van owned by Ray Magliozzi.^[7]

They appear three times in the first film, at the beginning with McQueen looking forward to leaving them, in the middle very briefly being interviewed and at the end after the tiebreaker race when McQueen realises he is happy with them. In a deleted scene on the DVD, much of their dialogue (heard at the sponsors' tent in the final script) is originally part of a brief stop at the Top Down Truck Stop. On the die-cast cars, Rusty's license plate states "Rust" and Dusty's sports "Eze". Their license plates are from "R Fair City", a term the Car Talk brothers use to describe their home town of Cambridge, Massachusetts. They appear four times in the third film, when they talked with McQueen about his winnings, McQueen is going to see Cal Weathers, when the Radiator Springs gang members and McQueen were talking on the phone and at the Rust-eze racing center to hand the sponsor over to Sterling.

Following Tom's death in 2014, unused archive recordings from the first film were used to provide Rusty's speaking parts in Cars 3.

Doc Hudson Racing Academy Students

The Doc Hudson Racing Academy Students (voiced by Chris Edgerly and Joe Smith) are a group of four young race cars who were taught to race from Doc Hudson and Lightning McQueen in Cars Race-O-Rama. They are all modeled as the same model, but with different modifications and blue, white, grey and black paint jobs: Student 1 has one stripe going down the center and a small spoiler, Student 2 has three stripes on each side, one white, one gray and one black, and a big black spoiler, Student 3 has white on the top and bottom and Student 4 has a decal on each side which resemble scratches. They usually race in the Race-O-Rama alongside Lightning McQueen, learning different techniques and movements for racing while Doc Hudson communicates them as crew chief. After Doc's passing, Lightning McQueen now teaches this group of students with Cruz Ramirez and Smokey helping him out. All four students are playable in Cars Race-O-Rama. Doc Student 4 does not appear in any of the races in the game. Since he is not playable on the PlayStation 2 version, he does not appear at all.

Sterling "Rust eze"

Sterling (voiced by Nathan Fillion^[8]) is a billionaire and one of the main antagonists in Cars 3. He is the new owner of the Rust-eze Racing Center. He reveals himself to be a fan of Lightning McQueen. He assigns Cruz Ramirez to train McQueen and prepare him for the Florida 500. After watching McQueen's poor performance on the simulator, Sterling attempted to convince McQueen to retire and become a racing brand. McQueen convinces him to give him a chance at winning the Florida 500, then McQueen could decide when to stop racing. Sterling reluctantly agrees. He is based on a 1966 BMW 2000 CS Vintage Concept.

At the Florida 500, Sterling reveals himself as greedy and self-centered when he cruelly ordered Cruz to leave and resume her job as a trainer. Against Sterling's will, McQueen puts Cruz in the race, thinking that although he can't beat Jackson Storm, Cruz could. After Cruz wins, Sterling asks her to race for him, but she refuses and quits. Tex Dinoco, owner of Dinoco, purchases Rust-eze from him after an unseen conversation with him, allowing Cruz to race and McQueen to train her.

Hamilton

Hamilton (voiced by Lewis Hamilton^[9]) is the personal voice command assistant to Cruz Ramirez that is able to track McQueen's speed through his electronic suit. It is voiced by Fernando Alonso in the Spanish version of Cars 3, and Sebastian Vettel in the German version.

Cruz Ramirez

Cruz Ramirez (voiced by Cristela Alonzo^[10]) is Lightning McQueen's trainer and technician at the Rust-eze Racing Center. She is known for training some of the best newer elite rookies through her unconventional training methods. She is assigned to train McQueen for the Florida 500. She attempts to train McQueen at Fireball Beach, but McQueen ends up teaching her how to race on sand. After surviving a Demolition Derby, which Cruz wins, McQueen lashes out on her for wasting his time and humiliating him on TV. Then, Cruz reveals that she always wanted to be a racer, but never found the confidence to do so. She is loosely based on a 2017 Jaguar F-Type, with some elements from the Corvette C7 and the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta.

Cruz and McQueen reconcile and head to Thomasville where they meet the former crew chief of Doc Hudson, Smokey. Smokey trains McQueen and inspires Cruz as well. At the Florida 500, Cruz is sent back to the Racing Center. McQueen exits the race to allow Cruz to race. Using what she's learned on the road, Cruz catches up to Jackson Storm, who tries to overtake her. However, Cruz flips over him (the same move Doc Hudson used back in 1951) and lands in first place. She begins to race for the Dinoco team, sporting Doc's former #51, with McQueen as her mentor. In the post-credits, Cruz has won the Piston Cup with Lightning by her side.

She returned in Cars 3: Driven to Win as one of the main characters and a starting playable character along with Lightning McQueen, Mater, Sally, Ramone and Guido.

Rust-eze Racing Center Trainees

The Rust-eze Racing Center Trainees are a group of Next-Gen Piston Cup racers mostly painted chrome grey and have different colored spoilers, bumpers, Lightyear racing tires, and sideskirts. Each trainee is identified with a Rust-eze Racing Center logo on their sides as well as a trainee number on their sides and back. There are currently at least 12 trainees at the Rust-eze Racing Center who perform a wide variety of exercises, get tested for performance, and even race on the simulator to hopefully become Piston Cup Series racers for the Rust-eze Racing team if Lightning McQueen announces his retirement. They're named as follows:

Aiden is a grey and orange Next-Gen SA-2 Race Car with 003 as his trainee number. He is seen a couple of times in Cars 3 on the treadmill and when he saw Lightning McQueen hanging face-down, with a drip pan underneath him, as part of Cruz's training methods, Aiden drives past him and makes a rude remark. His voice actor is currently unknown.
Kurt is a Next-Gen model similar to Cam Spinner painted chrome and purple with 012 as his trainee number. He is one of the trainees assigned by Cruz Ramirez to become a professional Piston Cup racer for the Rust-eze Racing team. He is nicknamed the “Bug Guy” by his colleagues because Cruz would often blast him with bugs to test his reflexes. His voice actor is currently unknown and is named after NASCAR Cup series champion Kurt Busch.
Krzysztof is a Polish grey and green Next-Gen SA-5 Race Car with 021 as his number in the Rust-eze Racing Center. He is seen on the treadmill in the center during Cars 3. He is named after technical director Krzysztof Rost. He is released as a diecast toy in 2018.
Sequoia is a Next-Gen trainee (possibly modeled after a Next-Gen SA-3) who is grey and red with 028 as his trainee number. He is seen inside a wind tunnel testing his aerodynamics.
Ronald, nicknamed the “Fluffy Cloud” by himself and Cruz Ramirez, is a chrome grey and lime green Rust-eze Racing Center rookie racer who in hopes of becoming a professional racer. He is a Next-Gen SA-3 Race Car and Trainee 035. Whenever he tries to drive roughly, Cruz would remind him that he is a "fluffy cloud", and he takes this advice to help him speed up. Kurt then make a remark to Ronald telling him he is a cloud which tells him to shut up. His voice actor is currently unknown. He is mentioned by Sterling who tells Cruz to get him up to speed at the Florida 500 for the next race in Atlanta, Georgia to replace Lightning McQueen.
Gabriel (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is a chrome grey and cyan Next-Gen SB-4 Race Car from Santa Cecilia, Mexico who is trained by Cruz Ramirez in hopes of becoming a professional racer. As Trainee 049, he can be easily considered as "homesick" of all the trainees. But when Cruz shows him a picture of his hometown on the treadmills, he gets really excited and shouts "¡Santa Cecilia, mi pueblo!" which means "Santa Cecilia, my town!" in Spanish.
Junyi is a Chinese racecar painted mainly chrome, with his bumper, spoiler, side skirts, and rims all colored purple. His number is 057. He appears mostly in the background and has no voice actor.
Tom W. is a grey and blue Next-Gen SA-2 Race Car with trainee number 061 and is one of a few rookie racers who is assigned by Cruz Ramirez.
Ernesto is a grey and yellow Next-Gen racer modeled like Ed Truncan with 067 as his trainee number. His voice actor is currently unknown.
Shriram is an Indian grey and pink Next-Gen SB-4 Race Car with trainee number 070. He had a diecast release by Mattel in 2018.
Sudeep is an Indian Next-Gen SA-3 race car and trainee number 083. He is colored mainly chrome, with a gold bumper, rims, and spoiler. At the Rust-eze Racing Center, he and Jae are using virtual reality, but due to a slight issue with the virtual reality goggles keeping him in place, Sudeep accidentally bumps a tire on Jae's face.
Jae is a South Korean grey Next-Gen racer modeled like George New-Win with his spoiler, wheel rims, and other designs painted royal blue. His number 094 is on his sides. He is seen wearing a virtual reality headset before bumping into Sudeep.

Dinoco team

Strip "The King" Weathers

Strip Weathers, better known as The King (voiced by Richard Petty), is a "Dinoco-blue" veteran racecar and racing legend. Weathers is an anthropomorphic version of Petty's aerodynamic 1970 Plymouth Superbird, sporting same shade of blue and Petty's racecar number, 43 and is also a fictionalized version of him.^[11] He is one of the racecars in the 2005 Piston Cup three-way tie, along with Chick Hicks and Lightning McQueen. His sponsor (Dinoco), like Petty's (STP), is a well-known oil company.

He is Dinoco's "Golden Boy", having won seven Piston Cups,^[12] and is hoping for his eighth in the tiebreaker race before entering retirement so he can spend more time with his wife. He tells McQueen to remember the importance of his team, but the rookie does not pay any attention, being more preoccupied with the thought of taking over the Dinoco sponsorship after Weathers' retirement. He is also shown to be a kind, caring, and honorable racer who would never cheat during a race.

On the final lap of the tie-breaker race, Weathers demonstrates good sportsmanship by not trying to get past McQueen all while keeping Hicks from doing any harm to the rookie. Hicks, in a final attempt to try to win the race, rams into Weathers, sending him into a dangerous rollover. When McQueen sees this, he realizes that Weathers' career might end the same way Doc Hudson's did. Not wanting him to suffer the same fate, he stops short of the finish line, allowing Hicks to win, and pushes Weathers across the finish line to help him finish his last race before his retirement so that he can have a better future, much to the audience's delight. As the injured Weathers is helped out by McQueen, he tells him that he just gave up the Piston Cup to save him, but McQueen tells him that he learned a lesson from Doc that "it's just an empty cup", having learned that helping others is important than fame. Weathers' accident resulted in Chick's victory being condemned by the fans and media, not caring that he won the race, while McQueen is praised for his good sportsmanship and for helping Weathers. Weathers is also praised by the fans for his performance and he and McQueen are recognized by the fans as the real winners despite coming in 2nd and 3rd place respectively. McQueen's sportsmanship also results in Tex offering the sponsorship to him, though he turns down and stays with Rust-Eze after learning that there are more important things in life than winning. Following his retirement, Weathers (who has now been repaired) is seen visiting the racing museum in Radiator Springs with his wife and another Piston Cup racer, Junior, stating that Hudson is his inspiration.

He returns in Cars 3 as the crew chief of his nephew and new Dinoco racer Cal Weathers with Richard Petty reprising his role as the voice of The King. He is only shown in the first race of the film, where he tells Cal nice comeback after he gets his tires for a pit stop, and when he and his nephew pass the sponsorship to Cruz Ramirez after she wins the Florida 500.

In the Danish edition of the movie, the King is voiced by nine-time 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen. In the Finnish edition of the movie, The King is voiced by Finnish two-time Formula One World Champion Mika Häkkinen. In the German edition, he is voiced by Austrian three-time Formula One World Champion Niki Lauda.

Strip Weathers also appears in the film's video game as an unlockable character in the Arcade. He is mentioned by Darrell Cartrip in the game's Story Mode before the first Piston Cup race at the Palm Mile Speedway.

He also appears in Disney Infinity.

Lynda Weathers

Lynda Weathers, also known as "Mrs. The King" (voiced by Lynda Petty), is a 1974 Chrysler Town & Country station wagon who brought the Petty family to "The King"'s races during the 1970s. Like Tex, Lynda followed each race from a Dinoco VIP booth, rooting for her husband. Throughout the film, she is constantly supporting her husband and she worries deeply when he gets kicked and wrecked by Chick Hicks. After the race, while Chick Hicks is booed for wrecking her husband and falsely winning the Piston Cup, she kissed Lightning on the cheek and tells him thanks for helping her husband finish his final race.

During the ending credits of Cars, Mrs. The King is seen at the Doc Hudson Museum with her husband and Mater as a tour guide throughout the museum. She asked to see and meet Doc Hudson, but Mater is unsure of his whereabouts at the present time – but assumed he is out racing, which turned out to be true.

Calvin "Cal" Weathers

Cal Weathers (voiced by Kyle Petty) is a new Dinoco racer. Took over as Dinoco racer after his uncle Strip Weathers retired and became his crew chief. Cal Weathers is numbered 42, and is a blue Capital Motors Mark II Piston Cup Stock Car with blue rims. He often races with Lightning McQueen and Bobby Swift and constantly pull pranks with each other after a race. Unlike his uncle, he seemed to be one of the weak Dinoco racers and never won any Piston Cups (according to Tex as a joke when he talks to Cruz Ramirez on joining Dinoco which in reality, he won two Piston Cups in the past), though he does win some races as shown when he beats McQueen in a close finish at Rocker Arms Speedway. He later retires when new next gen racers including Jackson Storm take over the sport.

Tex Dinoco

Tex Dinoco (voiced by Humpy Wheeler) is the billionaire owner of Dinoco.^[13] Packaged as "Tex Dinoco with bullhorns" as a diecast car, he is simply called "Tex" in the film's credits. He speaks with a Carolina accent and resembles a 1975 Cadillac Coupe de Ville^[14] at The Big Texan Steak Ranch in Amarillo. He is the King's manager and sponsor. Unlike Lightning's agent (Harv, who doesn't watch the race), Tex is an avid race fan who would never miss a race. As a supportive and long-time friend of both Lynda and "The King", he has been a loyal fan of "The King" for many years and boasts that The King "has made Dinoco proud".

After Chick Hicks wins by employing a PIT maneuver to sabotage The King in the final lap of the tiebreaker, sending King into a dangerous rollover crash, Tex (angered by Hicks' unsportsmanlike driving and having refused to sponsor him for hurting The King) offers the lucrative sponsorship to Lightning with the explanation that "there's a whole lot more to racing than just winning" this is an echo of a line that McQueen used at the end of the race shown at the start of the film but with an entirely different meaning. However, McQueen turns down the offer, opting to stay with Rust-Eze. Tex respects his decision, but does tell McQueen, "If there's ever anything he can do for him, just let him know." However, McQueen does ask for one favor: to allow Mater to fly in the Dinoco transport helicopter, fulfilling Mater's dream.

He returns for Cars 3 as the sponsor for Cal Weathers. After Cal retired, Tex sought to have newcomer Cruz Ramirez to race for him after watching her performance in the Florida 500. He also purchases Rust-eze from Sterling after an unseen conversation with him and allows Lightning McQueen to sport a new paint job (it looks just like Doc's old paint job).

Dinoco Transport Helicopter

The Dinoco Transport Helicopter is based on a Bell 430. Without a speaking part, he has no voice actor and is not named in the closing credits. His name is Rotor Turbosky (in apparent reference to helicopter maker Sikorsky) in the die-cast Cars toy collection. He is seen on top of the Dinoco tent during the races. Mater gets a ride over Radiator Springs at the end of the film, a favor which Lightning had promised Mater earlier when dreaming of the big trophy and the big sponsor (Dinoco) with the fancy helicopter.

Luke Pettlework

Luke Pettlework is a 2003 Nemomatic Forklift that serves as one of Strip Weathers' pitties. He is painted blue and wears an orange cap. He has the Dinoco logo on his doors and cap. He has blue rims and the usual forklift arms on his front.

Dinoco Girls

The Dinoco Girls, also known as the Dinocuties or Dinoco Showgirls, are dancers in the Dinoco tent. They are of various make models, and are completely covered in blue paint. All of them have large feathers on top of their roofs.

HTB team

Chick Hicks

Buick Grand National NASCAR

Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR

Chick Hicks (voiced by Michael Keaton in Cars, the video game adaption, and Cars Race-O-Rama, Bob Peterson in Cars 3) is Lightning McQueen's primary rival and the main antagonist in the first film.

He is a green 1979 Shyster Cremlin, "a generic Pixar design, 'a stock 1980s American car'" according to Pixar publicity coordinator Amanda Sorena,^[15] and strongly resembles a GM G-body with features from both the 4th generation Chevrolet Monte Carlo NASCAR and the Buick Grand National NASCAR 1987. As the real-life General Motors wanted nothing to do with the character by rejecting an initial Pixar proposal to cast a Chevrolet stock car as the movie's villain, Chick is effectively an orphan.^[15] He has spent his entire career trailing Strip "The King" Weathers, and is bitter about this fact. One of his most notable quotes in the movie is “Kachicka” which he uses as his version of Lightning McQueen's quote “Kachow”. His racing sponsor is Hostile Takeover Bank, or HTB.

His pit crew generally mock Guido as compared to them he is very small, however they are surprised when Guido shows off his extremely quick tire changing capabilities. Hicks' racing number is 86, a reference to 1986, the year Pixar Animation Studios was founded; 86 itself is also a slang term for destroying or getting rid of something. Since 86 is twice the number 43 (King's number), it could also be an allusion to his entire career in relation to King.

Hicks is extremely determined to win, often to the point that he resorts to using dirty tricks. Hicks cheats his way through all of his races by ramming other cars or sideswiping them via the PIT maneuver in an attempt to cause racing incidents for his own benefit (such as the massive car pile-up in the first film). Despite his driving, he somehow does not get a black and white flag or other penalties, which is presumed that the race officials don't care and just allow him to play dirty as he is in contention of beating Strip Weathers so he can win the Piston Cup. This may also be an reflection of the Have at it, boys style of officiating generally used in NASCAR. He despises and mocks McQueen, adopting the nickname Thunder which McQueen previously used as an insult. Hicks is also equally antagonistic towards The King, having come 2nd or 3rd place to The King for his entire career. While McQueen is presumed missing, Hicks tries to take away McQueen's fans and increase his fame.

During the final lap of the tiebreaker race, Hicks (refusing to come in behind Strip Weathers again) PITs The King, sending him flying off the race track and into a rollover wreck on the in-field. He expects a huge ovation after McQueen deliberately gives up the Piston Cup in order to help Weathers, but nobody cheers Hicks on once he wins because they're fed up with his unsportsmanlike attitude. Afterwards, as Hicks gets on stage to claim his trophy and celebrate his first Piston Cup victory, an angered crowd and media snub Hicks' victory by branding him a cheater. He is then pelted with discarded tires and booed off the stage with his trophy in humiliation.

In the film, a lucrative corporate sponsorship is at stake. Hicks and McQueen both share the dream of being the new face of Dinoco Oil, a firm long represented by retiring champion #43 "The King". They race on the assumption that winning the championship cup will land them the big sponsor, however, Dinoco owner Tex offers the sponsorship to McQueen (as he had refused to sponsor Chick for his bad sportsmanship and for what he did to The King), stating that there's more to racing than winning. Chick Hicks is one of the first Pixar villains to actually succeed in his goal, though it is more of a hollow victory due to his actions.

He returns in Cars 3, being voiced by Bob Peterson due to Keaton's scheduling conflicts with Spider-Man: Homecoming. In this film he now hosts his own talk show, Chick's Picks on Racing Sports Network where he replaced his HTB sponsor stickers with the RSN after his company went bankrupt. He constantly boasts about his previous Piston Cup championship and cracks jokes at McQueen's expense as Jackson Storm takes over the sport. He also interviews him after he wins one of the races in Hartland Motor Speedway.

Chick returns in the Cars video game, which is written by Pixar and considered a continuation to the story started in the movie. In the game, he is less rude than he was in the movie. He is first seen spying on Lightning's practice sessions with Doc Hudson. In Palm Mile Speedway, he ineffectively taunts Lightning before the first race of the season until Doc warns him off, then falls in with a gang of New York-based greaser cars in Carburetor County to challenge McQueen. Before the next Piston Cup race in Smasherville Stadium, the DRH gang jumps Mack on the interstate to steal McQueen's racing gear, but finger Chick as the one who hired them when caught by the Sheriff which he later confronted him there at the track with Chick refusing to believe. After Lightning won the race, Darrell Cartrip prepares to interview both Lightning and Chick only to see them during a heated argument. Darrell soon stopped this saying Lightning did won the race (with the tapes to prove it). Lightning McQueen soon challenged Chick Hicks to a three series Radiator Springs Grand Prix race in Radiator Springs, Tailfin Pass and Ornament Valley with the RSN filming the race before the last Piston Cup race in LA Speedway which he accepts before encouraging his fans on the TV camera to see him win the Piston Cup trophy, before losing to McQueen afterwards.

In the Cars Race-O-Rama video game, he seeks revenge by attempting to close down McQueen's racing academy to start his own in Radiator Springs, he also gets himself modified in the final Race-O-Rama race after seeing Lightning McQueen modified from Santa Carberera, Autopia, Motoropolis and later Radiator Springs. After his modification upgrade, he refers to himself as a high performance and custom racer whose gonna take McQueen down. Most of his Piston Cup sponsor stickers were removed and he gains a "Motor-Co" sticker for Chick's modifications and keeps his sponsor and his number 86 on his body.

He also gains a black spoiler for downforce and his top part of his engine was exposed. Like his friends, Chick Hicks has a smokescreen unit equipped attempting to slow down McQueen but he gets defeated at the end, vowing for his revenge on McQueen. But his friends, Candice, Stinger and El Machismo turned against Chick and apologized to McQueen about their previous behavior which he accepted their apology and invited them to Lightning and Doc's Academy anytime who greatly accept. His catchphrase is "Ka-Chick-Ah!", a blatant rip-off of McQueen's catchphrase "KA-CHOW!". ^{[clarification needed]}

Despite the fact he did not appear in Cars 2, he does show up in the film's video game as a downloadable character for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 editions. He also appears in Disney Infinity.

He also appears in Cars 3: Driven to Win which he does post race interviews with Mater, Smokey, Natalie Certain, and Miss Fritter; as well as giving out racing news offering commentary about players' winning/losing performance. He is shown making jokes about McQueen's loses and insulting him for winning, and discussing his own winning performances while excusing his losing streak. He is also a playable character after defeating him and 99 clones in the master level event, Chick Hicks Takedown at Thomasville's Midnight Run. He also created the "Lightning Storm Cruise", a head-to-head race for Lightning McQueen, Jackson Storm, and Cruz Ramirez at the Florida International Speedway which Chick's Picks and RSN will be broadcasting. After the race, he said that Lightning wasn't done with racing yet and thinks he could have won it faster. Lightning, Chick and Cruz watch Jackson Storm race against Miss Fritter in Thunder Hollow thinking that he can beat anyone anywhere. Chick Hicks is dominantly appearing in the game's menu screen, and if the player waits longer, Hicks leaves the set in anger and pitties put a cardboard version of himself.

He attempts to sabotage Lightning McQueen's racing simulator, shut down Lightning's Academy, and start the Chick Hicks Racing Academy (CHRA) while racing virtually head-to-head at Chick's race track, the Chick Hicks Motor Speedway at the Lightning McQueen Racing Academy located in Disney's Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World, Orlando.

Chick Hicks's Pit Crew

Chick's pit crew are a group of forklifts who do pit stops for Chick Hicks in his races. Like Chick, his pit team are green with black "moustache" grills on their faces and have Hostile Takeover Bank on their sides. One of them is a playable character in Cars Race-O-Rama's Guido Kart races.

Chick Hicks's Students

The Chick Hicks Racing Academy students (voiced by Mark Silverman and Josh Robert Thomson) are a group of race cars who learn to race from Chick Hicks. These cars may look similar to the Doc Hudson Racing Academy students but Chick's students learn how to race dirty like Chick did in the past. Each car is painted green with white, grey and black decals and different modifications. The first one has a white line across the top of his body. The second has white, gray and black diagonal lines across the sides. The third has white on the bottom and top of his body. The fourth has a gray shape that seems to resemble a scratch on the sides. All four of these cars are playable in Cars Race-O-Rama except for the PS2 version where you only play as one. Unlike Candice, El Machismo and Stinger, they do not apologize to McQueen for their previous behavior.

VINs

Vehicle Identification Numbers, or VINs for short (voiced by MacinTalk), are white robotic Piston Cup stock cars with grey rims and the black bar codes on their sides. They are actually Chick Hicks Racing Academy students, who are fed up with losing to Lightning McQueen, who went inside a Motor Co. factory in Autopia where the Motor Co. pitties stripped them down and transformed them into these super techno equipped race cars. They speak primarily in robotic phrases like "The numbers compute." Unlike Candice, El Machismo and Stinger, they do not betray Chick Hicks for their aggressiveness (mostly it is because of their programming). In their concept art, VINs were supposed to be modeled just like Chick and have the number 128 on the sides, top and right headlight to go with their bar codes. But their modeled as a Lux Motor Co. Piston Cup V8 who looked similar to Mac iCar in the Cars film and Joltsen and the other non playable Piston Cup cars from Cars the Video Game.

IGNTR team

Jackson Storm

Jackson Storm (voiced by Armie Hammer in the film,^[16] AJ Hamilton in Cars 3: Driven to Win), an arrogant blue-and-black 2017 custom built "next generation" Piston Cup racer, is a newer rookie that comes into the racing sport, and one of the main antagonists in the third installment in the franchise. He set records and won many races, including the final race in Los Angeles and presumably achieved the goal of winning the Piston Cup in his rookie year, which McQueen almost did in the first film. Whenever someone intimidates him, he goes back to insult them and make them lose their focus so he can take back the lead. His racing number is 20 (styled as 2.0) and is sponsored by Ignitr Liquid Adrenaline. His pit crew includes Rey Reverham, three pitties and his hauler, Gale Beaufort. Because of Jackson Storm's record breaking performance and a top speed of 214 mph (344 km/h), Piston Cup sponsors either retired or fired their previous veteran racers in the favor of Next-Gen racers to even the competition against Storm.

At the Florida 500, he is overtaken by McQueen's former trainer Cruz Ramirez. He attempts to make her lose focus by telling her that she doesn't belong on a track. Cruz, however, regains her confidence and drives up next to Storm, who rammed her into the SAFER barrier wall, but Cruz flips over him and lands, in exactly the same fashion as Doc Hudson was shown to do in an earlier scene. Since then, he has been hated by his rivals with Cruz in races.

He returns in Cars 3: Driven to Win. He allows his rivals, Lightning McQueen and Cruz Ramirez time to get prepared to race for the next Piston Cup season as Chick Hicks created the "Lightning Storm Cruise" a head-to-head race featuring Lightning McQueen, Jackson Storm and Cruz Ramirez at the Florida International Speedway. After he lost the race to McQueen, Storm was fed up for losing and was determined he could beat Lightning and anyone, anywhere and anytime. As a result, Lightning and Cruz invite him over to race in Thunder Hollow only to end up being chased by Miss Fritter with Chick Hicks recording it for the RSN.

Jackson Storm is based on the Peugeot Onyx Concept. He also has some elements of the 2014 Nissan GT-R Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo and has working laser headlights and taillights (he keeps them off in Piston Cup races). His word Lightyear on his racing tires are blue.

Ray Reverham

Ray Reverham (voiced by Ray Evernham) is a pickup truck and Jackson Storm's crew chief. He is always supportive of Storm's performance, and when Cruz attempts to win, he reminds Jackson at any opportunity he can much to Storm's annoyance and tries to ignore Ray's warnings unless he's that serious.

Gale Beaufort

Gale Beaufort is Jackson Storm's hauler and painted in the same livery as him. Like Storm, she has working laser headlights and taillights. She is a Next-Gen Semi Hauler. Gale Beaufort represents the pinnacle of next-gen transporters. Whenever she isn't on the road, she's buffing and shining her glossy black paint. Jackson Storm wouldn't have it any other way, as he only wants the best for his racing team. In Cars 3, she is seen after Storm wins his first race at Arizona's Cooper Canyon Speedway who rolls into his trailer, saying he touched a nerve before blasting his hip hop music from the speakers and closed it, allowing Gale to drive away.

These characters live in Radiator Springs with Lightning McQueen, his trainer Cruz Ramirez and their hauler, Mack.

Tow Mater

Mater is a rusty tow truck, resembling a 1957 Chevrolet Task Force. He is McQueen's best friend, and Holley Shiftwell's boyfriend. He is voiced by Larry the Cable Guy. Since his heroic actions and exposing Miles Axlerod in London, Mater is now known as "Sir Tow Mater".

Sally Carrera

Sally Carrera is the town's attorney and McQueen's girlfriend. She is voiced by Bonnie Hunt, and she is a 2002 Porsche 996 Carrera.

Doc Hudson

Doc Hudson (voiced by Paul Newman in the first film and its video game adaptation, Corey Burton in all other related media) was the town's medical doctor, judge, and Lightning McQueen's mentor/crew chief. He was based on the 1951 Hudson Hornet. He did not appear in the second film due to Paul Newman's death, and it is implied that he died as well at some point in between films. He appeared in Cars 3 in McQueen's flashbacks, being voiced by archival recordings of Newman.

He won three consecutive Piston Cups in 1951, 1952 and 1953 as a racer known as The Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and still held the record for the most wins in a single racing season with Smokey as his crew chief, corresponding to the first three of the real-life Hornet's production years.

Sheriff

The Sheriff (voiced by Michael Wallis) is a 1949 Mercury Eight Police Cruiser police car,^[17] bearing Carburetor County license plate 001. Sheriff is painted in the classic law enforcement black and white with a single red light dome, two sirens, and curb feelers. Sheriff was the first resident of Radiator Springs to appear in the original film and the first to meet Lightning McQueen during a police chase when McQueen was speeding through the town, attempting to locate Mack. Upon catching McQueen, who had become ensnared in wires and fencing, Sheriff paraphrases a line used by actor Joe Higgins, who played a sheriff in early 1970s Dodge commercials, as "Boy, you're in a heap of trouble.".^[18]

Sheriff was known to distrust McQueen; at one point when Sally gives McQueen some gasoline, Sheriff notices McQueen smiling at the road as if he is planning to escape. In reply, Sheriff with a glare turns on his gumball in case. Lightning chooses to accompany Sally, rather than making an escape attempt, resulting in Sheriff switching off his emergency lighting while Flo mocks him for thinking that McQueen would try to escape. This marks the beginning of trust in Lightning by Sheriff. He later befriends Lightning McQueen, offering him a police escort to California and even giving a few sniffles when he thought Lightning had left after finishing fixing the road (though he denied it, claiming he was glad Lightning was gone), and joins his pit crew for the championship race. In the end credits, Sheriff arrests the Road Hazards (the same ones who separated McQueen from Mack) caught racing illegally (via speeding) to Radiator Springs and have them impounded. As punishment for their crimes, he and Doc force them to repave the roads with Bessie.

Sheriff reappears in Cars 2, seeing Lightning and his race crew off to the World Grand Prix. When Mater goes missing, Ramone mentions that Sheriff has Scotland Yard scouring London for Mater. During the climax of the film, Sheriff arrives with the other Radiator Springs residents as new members of McQueen's pit crew in England, and is informed by Mater of the Lemons cars' plot to kill McQueen in order to turn all vehicles in the world against alternate energy and rely on gasoline for profit. Sheriff then has Red the Firetruck squirt water on the Lemon cars during the final battle, and arrests most of the defeated ones with help from Sarge. Then the next day Sheriff cheers Mater on when he is knighted for foiling the evil plot led by surprisingly, the race and Allinol inventor Sir Miles Axlerod.

Luigi

Luigi (voiced by Tony Shalhoub in the films and video games, Michael Shalhoub in Disney Infinity) is a 1959 Fiat 500.^[19] He is a Scuderia Ferrari fan (as he is part of the tifosi), and has followed racing his entire life. His license plate reads 445–108, which is the latitude and longitude for the main Ferrari factory in Maranello, Italy.^[20] Luigi owns a tire shop, Casa Della Tires,^[21] which is known for its "Leaning Tower of Tires", a tower of several tires shaped like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. His assistant is an Italian forklift truck named Guido.

Inside his shop are many framed pictures of World Sportscar Championship endurance racing Ferraris from various points in history. At first, Luigi and Guido do not respect Lightning McQueen when he comes to Radiator Springs because he is not a Ferrari, but later on they learn to show courtesy to McQueen, fitting him with whitewall tires, since Luigi is a fan of white tires (having a pair himself). During the final race, Luigi and Guido work as part of Lightning's pit crew, and Guido sets the Piston Cup record in changing tires, taking only 4 seconds to change all the tires, sending the other pit crew into shock. He later congratulates McQueen when he helps The King finish his last race. After the race, a group of Italian sports cars – a Ferrari F430 (voiced by Michael Schumacher) and two Maserati Quattroportes – arrive at his shop, explaining that "Lightning McQueen told me this was the best place in the world to get tires" and requesting "three or four sets each". The presence of a celebrity Ferrari in their store causes both Luigi and Guido to faint from shock and happiness.

For the Italian version of the film, Luigi was voiced by comedian Marco Della Noce; one of Della Noce's most popular characters was "Oriano Ferrari", a parody character meant to represent the leader of Ferrari's pit stop crew.^[22]

In Cars 2, Luigi is a part of Lightning's pit crew, in charge of the racer's tires. In Japan, he is naturally overjoyed to see so many Ferraris at a party prior to the first race of the World Grand Prix. He also hesitantly begins to explain to Mater what a rendezvous is, but he and Guido do not believe Mater when he believes he has a date. Luigi and Guido are overjoyed to be back in their home of Italy, and rejoin their large group of family and friends. A little more is discussed of Luigi's past with Guido: Luigi's Uncle Topolino mentions that Luigi and Guido often fought when they worked for him, but they always made up after their fights. Luigi joins his friends in a mêlée against Professor Zündapp's Lemons at the film's climax, and finally believes Mater's claims of a girlfriend when Holley Shiftwell confirms the fact in person at Radiator Springs.

Guido

Guido (voiced by Guido Quaroni) is a 1959 BMW Isetta mix forklift truck, who works at Luigi's Casa Della Tires, and is Luigi's best friend. Like Luigi, he is also part of the tifosi, as he is also a Scuderia Ferrari fan. The only language Guido can speak and understand fluently is Italian, though he appears to understand English, and even speaks a few phrases, including "Pit stop" but pronounced "Peet stop!". His dream is to perform a pit stop for a real racecar. Near the end of the first movie, as a member of Lightning's new pit crew, he performs the fastest pit stop in Piston Cup history, speed-changing all four tires in only 4 seconds, shocking Chick Hicks' pit crew who had earlier made fun of him.

In Cars 2, Guido serves the same purpose he served in the first film's climax in Lightning's pit crew throughout the film. He also removed all tires from some of the Lemons when they surrounded Lightning and Mater, but is unable to remove the bomb from Mater. Guido does not believe Mater when he says he has a date, and is shocked to discover that Mater was telling the truth about his new girlfriend Holley Shiftwell.

Guido also appeared in Cars 3. He was first seen giving McQueen a new set of tires at the Motor Speedway of the South race, and again during a pit stop before McQueen's career-defining crash. When McQueen came into the pit road during the Florida 500, Guido initially unscrewed some of the bolts on McQueen's front right tire before giving the set of tires to Cruz Ramirez.

Ramone

Ramone (voiced by Cheech Marin in the films and video games, Milton James in Cars 3: Driven to Win) is a 1959 Chevrolet Impala coupé^[23] Lowrider that owns the Ramone's House of Body Art store, where he paints himself and other cars, including Lightning McQueen later in the film. His garage employs the distinctive architecture of the Tower Station (U-Drop Inn) in Shamrock, Texas. His license plate reads "L0WNSL0", which is a reference to his catchphrase, "Low and slow". He is married to Flo, whose restaurant is next door to his store. Ramone is usually depicted as purple with a yellow and orange flame job, but throughout the film, he changes his paint job every morning to keep his skills sharp, owing to a lack of customers. This situation changes after Radiator Springs becomes vibrant again. He also likes to drive slow and very low on the road, and is overjoyed when the road is asphalted, enjoying the smoothness of the road. However, he does seem to have a childish side in his personality, as in a scene after Lightning McQueen has destroyed the town's main road, Sally asked Flo what she had in her store, the latter responding "I have gas, lots of gas!", and Ramone and Mater burst out laughing.

Ramone reappears in Cars 2, making a few appearances in the Radiator Springs scenes, though he joins everyone else to help McQueen in England. In the melee scene, Ramone disables one of the lemon cars by spraying paint into the car's eyes, blinding him.

Flo

Flo (voiced by Jenifer Lewis) is the owner of Radiator Springs only gas diner, "Flo's V-8 Café", and is married to Ramone. Her license plate reads "SHOGRL", the same as the license plates applied to many Motorama show cars and an abbreviation of the term "showgirl". During the cruising scene, "Motorama 1957" appears above her license plate. According to a deleted scene, she is a Motorama showcar who came to Radiator Springs during a national tour (although there wasn't a Motorama show held in 1957). Ramone custom painted her crew all except her. She asks "What's the matter, you too good to paint me?", and Ramone said "No baby, you're too good for me to paint.". They immediately fell in love. She appears to be inspired by two early- to mid-1950s show cars: the 1951 Buick XP-300 (side trim), 1951 General Motors Le Sabre and the 1957 Chrysler Dart concept car (front view) or 1960 Chrysler 300F 2 doors hardtop custom (cockpit, deck lid, and big tailfins rear).^[24]

Flo reappears in Cars 2 to help Lightning and Mater battle the Lemons (who were sent to kill Lightning by Miles Axlerod). Later, she and Sally are seen swooning over Francesco.

Fillmore

Fillmore (based on Route 66 artist Bob Waldmire^[25] and voiced by George Carlin in Cars, the video game, Mater and the Ghostlight, and Cars Toons (via archival recordings), Brian George in Cars Mater-National Championship, Mark Silverman in Cars Race-O-Rama, Lloyd Sherr in Cars 2, the second Cars video game and Cars 3) is a Volkswagen Type 2 microbus of early 1960s vintage^[26] as evidenced by his pointed front turn signals and small rear window. Fillmore's license plate reads "51237", an easter egg which is a reference to May 12, 1937, the birthdate of George Carlin, and is also the ZIP code of George, Iowa.^[27]

He is a stereotypical hippie,^[28] as he has stickers of the peace sign and flowers with his license plate positioned to resemble a soul patch. His name is a reference to the Fillmore East, a venue that was an epicenter for rock performances throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He owns an organic fuel shop (Fillmore's Organic Fuel) which features several flavors, and believes gasoline companies are lying to the public. He is implied to smoke marijuana,^[29] as it is indirectly referenced when he speaks of his organic fuel use.^[30]

Fillmore reappears in Cars 2, joining McQueen's pit crew as the fuel expert for the World Grand Prix. Fillmore was re-cast due to George Carlin's death, and was voiced by Lloyd Sherr. Fillmore initially supports Allinol as it does not use oil, even convincing McQueen it is safe after several accidents involving other cars using Allinol. However, for the final race, Sarge replaces McQueen's Allinol with Fillmore's organic fuel, which is what prevents Lightning from being killed in the race. He appears in Cars 3, once again a member of Lightning's pit crew as his fueler with Luigi and Guido handling McQueen's tires.

Sarge

Sarge (voiced by Paul Dooley) is a 1942 Willys Jeep. A veteran with a military green paint job and a slightly stylized Sergeant Major (E-9) insignia on his sides, he appears to be a World War II era Willys MB. His license plate reads "41WW2", which indicates the date the Willys MB entered the service of the U.S. Army (1941 World War II). He runs a surplus store, named "Sarge's Surplus Hut", next door to Fillmore and acts as part of Lightning's pit crew, gassing him up during the race. Near the end of the film, he operates a boot camp to train SUVs and 4×4s (some of whom had never been off-road) in rugged and dirt terrain. His recruits include T.J. Hummer, Murphy, Frank "Pinky" Pinkerton, and Charlie Cargo. During the Cars Video Game, Sarge trains McQueen in his boot camp as well by having some formal off-road racing training who McQueen passed in flying colors.

Sarge reappears in Cars 2, using assistance from the British Army to aid in the melee against the Lemons. Prior to the final leg of the World Grand Prix, he secretly switches McQueen's supply of Allinol for Fillmore's organic fuel. Like Fillmore he became suspicious of the fuel after the incidents in Japan and Italy. The change saves McQueen from being killed as part of Axlerod's plot to discredit alternative fuel.

Lizzie

Lizzie (voiced by Katherine Helmond), a 1924 Ford Model T Coupe,^[31] is the widow of Radiator Springs' founder, Stanley, and the elderly owner of a roadside souvenir and accessory shop. Her license plate, "MT23", is a reference to her model and year. Her name is derived from Tin Lizzie, one of the Model T's popular nicknames. She appears to have gone somewhat senile, and has a crush on Lightning McQueen. When she is shown teasing Luigi and Guido in the film, stating "The new road makes your place look like a dump.", Luigi angrily says that she is a crazy, devilish old woman but despairs at the truth of her words and sets to work repainting the Casa della Tires garage to its original appearance. She appears extremely motherly.

Lizzie reappears in Cars 2 with a minor role. In the beginning she greets Lightning when he returns, but didn't even know he was gone all this time. She isn't present at the airport but is seen in the end talking to Mack about how crazy Holley Shiftwell is for keeping a dent. She also appears in Cars 3, which would be Helmond's final role before her death.

She appears in the Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales episode "Time Travel Mater", where her and Stanley's backstories are revealed.

Lizzie was originally going to be named Henry F. Ord, after Henry Ford. She also, at one point, originally resembled a Ford Model T "Center Door" Sedan.^{[citation needed]}

Red

Red (voiced by Joe Ranft in the first film, Jerome Ranft in the third film) is a 1960s closed-cab Whitney Seagrave Fire Apparatus fire engine, bearing Carburetor County license plate "002". He is shy and emotional which explains why he cries and drives away at the same time. He spends most of his time gardening and washing things, such as the statue of Stanley in front of his fire station. It was stated by Mater that Red "hated" Lightning McQueen, because he accidentally killed his flowers. Later, it is clear that Red had forgiven Lightning McQueen and warmed up to him, especially when he burst into tears and fled when he mistakenly thought that Lightning McQueen left without saying goodbye. While he gasped and sobbed in the film, he didn't really talk. In the first film, he seems to know about tractor-tipping as he used his horn to try and stop a stampede of tractors out of trying to protect his flowers. He formerly dislikes Lightning McQueen and he also dislikes crying and feeling upset and people vandalizing his flowers.

Red reappears in Cars 2 as a non-speaking character. He only makes a small appearance at the airport crying as he sees Team McQueen taking off for Tokyo, also in the battle against the Lemons, where he arrives just in time to blast some of the Lemons away with his fire hose.

Red appears in the Tales from Radiator Springs short film: Bugged, voiced by Jerome Ranft.

Stanley

Stanley (voiced by John Michael Higgins) is Lizzie's late husband and the founder of Radiator Springs.^[31] Stanley was probably based on and named after a Stanley Steamer, a steam-powered automobile. A statue of Stanley stands outside the town hall, and although it was broken off its pedestal and dragged through the streets on a wire by Lightning McQueen, it was fortunately undamaged, and ultimately returned to its pedestal. Although dead, Stanley continues to exert an influence on the town, particularly over Lizzie, who often talks to his statue in memory of him.

Stanley's statue reappears in Cars 2 where it was shown to be less old and broken, possibly renovated.

In the Cars Toon, Time Travel Mater, Stanley appears alive for the first time. In the Cars Land theme park, signage commemorating "The Original Radiator Spring" claims that "On this site in the summer of 1909 Stanley, exploring out west, overheated as his radiator water boiled away. Coasting into the shade, he happened upon a life-saving natural spring. Upon this most fortunate discovery, Stanley founded the first settlement in Ornament Valley, and in honor of the oasis, christened it Radiator Springs.".^[32] Stanley's Oasis is listed as the first local business in Radiator Springs, although condensers only appeared on Stanley steam cars beginning in 1915. The revised Timeline of the toon shows Lightning and Mater travelling back to 1909, meeting Stanley, and pointing Lizzie out to Stanley, prompting him to approach her to make a sale. A quick stop on their way back to the present allows Lightning and Mater to witness Stanley and Lizzie's wedding.

Stanley makes a silent cameo in the Pixar short, Boundin'.

Bessie

Bessie is a non-anthropomorphic tarmac-laying road paving machine that is used to fix roads in Radiator Springs.^[33] She was often used by one of the citizens of Radiator Springs, referenced as "Big Al", before the citizen in question left 15 years ago. When Lightning McQueen accidentally destroys the road by dragging the statue of Stanley, Radiator Springs traffic court judge Doc Hudson sentences him to fix the road with her. While Doc insists "this here is Bessie, finest road-paving machine ever built", a construction trade publication's August 2006 editorial describes her as a "tar-spewing hybrid paver/compactor" and "an ecological disaster" as sometimes Bessie boils over and splats tar onto the car(s) pulling her.

"If she doesn't hit you with a stray spray of hot asphalt burbling in two tanks heated by open flames, the fumes emanating from every orifice would prompt an asthma attack. Aggregate jostles loose in a top hopper, and her black-smoke-extruding exhaust pipes are coated with the remains of decades of paving seasons... In fact, everything is wrong about Bessie except the product she produces when Lightning finally decides to get serious about his civic duty."
— Equipment World^[34]

During the epilogue, the Delinquent Road Hazards have to fix a road in Radiator Springs with her as punishment for speeding. Bessie is a non-living vehicle; she cannot move by herself and she has no voice actress in the film.

Frank and the Tractors

Frank is a 1970s generic red combine harvester that resembles a bull (his roof mounted exhaust pipes resemble horns and he has a nose ring), and the guardian of the tractors (which "moo" as cows). After Lightning McQueen's first encounter with Frank during a night of tractor tipping with Mater, Lightning starts dreaming that he, The King, and Chick Hicks (the last of whom does not survive, getting chopped up while The King and McQueen move out of the way) are beaten by Frank in the tie-breaker race. Frank wins the Piston Cup and gets kissed while Lightning is surrounded by the tractors who are licking him. Later, the tractors end up stampeding into Radiator Springs following a mishap with them on Mater's part. He is last seen with the tractors at the drive-in theatre scenes behind the fence far behind Mack, watching the movie as well. He is also seen in the short Mater and the Ghostlight when Mater races past him, waking him up, but does not chase him. Frank seems to be the soothing and kind master of the tractors and the leader of the herd and also hates trespassers (especially but mostly Mater) who step into his farm and bother the tractors. The tractors also appear in Planes and are shown to be sacred in India (India's residents believing they will be reincarnated as tractors). In Planes: Fire & Rescue, the tractors have to clear the road before Dusty Crophopper can take off due to Propwash Junction being shut down. Several tractors are also present in Piston Peak National Park with one having to be rescued from a wildfire by Blade Ranger shortly after Dusty's arrival.

Former residents

A flashback in the original film devotes a little over a minute to show Radiator Springs in a pre-freeway era when all cross-country traffic would by necessity pass through the town's busy main street. Various old cars appear very briefly in this segment with no names and no dialogue, only to vanish when the town is bypassed.

Miles "Meattruck" Malone was a red-cab delivery truck serving the Ornament Valley region; Dustin Mellows, a yellow delivery truck, bore the logo and initials TS for Trophy Sparkplugs.^[35] Local cars included Mildred Bylane (a light-brown car), Percy Hanbrakes (a brown car), Edwin Kranks (a two-tone apple-green car), Hank "Halloween" Murphy (a two-tone orange "Rumbler" with tail fins, named as a parody of the Nash/AMC Rambler) Milton Calypeer (a blue car), Greta (a two-tone black car), Timothy Timezone (a light-blue two-tone coupe) and Derek "Decals" Dobbs (a green two-tone coupe).

Bugs

In Radiator Springs and the surrounding desert area of Carburetor County, insects are depicted as small, winged early 60s VW Bugs (or beetles). The bugs appear at least three times in the original film, hovering around fluorescent lighting at Flo's V8 Café on Lightning's initial arrival, swarming around the windows and the one missing fuel pump at the Wheel Well Motel before its historic restoration, and in the desert where Minny and Van are still quite clearly lost at the end of the film, after the closing credits. (One bumps on the camera lens, leaving a mark on it, and flies off eventually) One also appears in Mater and the Ghostlight, which Mater had confused for the Ghostlight (despite the yellow headlights). The bugs are alive but do not speak (Vroomaroundus Bugus merely buzz with sped-up sounds of an air-cooled VW engine^[36]) so they are not named individually and they have no voice actors.

Bob Cutlass

Bob Cutlass (voiced by Bob Costas) is an announcer for the Piston Cup races and friend of Darrell Cartrip. The character's name is a reference to the Oldsmobile Cutlass. He does not appear in any of the video games. However, he did return for Cars 3.^[37]

Natalie Certain

Natalie Certain (voiced by Kerry Washington), a red sedan, is an RSN statistical analyst in Cars 3 who also is a friend to Chick Hicks. She returns for Cars 3: Driven To Win. She slightly resembles a 2017 Tesla Model S.

Various officials and track employees are seen in the original film but not named in the movie's credits, often because they have no named voice actor or no speaking role. Names and descriptions are assigned to these cars and trucks in the "Cars" franchise to allow the characters to be sold as die-cast toys.

Racing officials

Dexter Hoover (a pickup truck atop the flagstand) waves the green flag to start the race, the checkered flag to finish the race and the yellow flag when Piston Cup officials call a caution. He resembles a 1995 Ford F-Series. Charlie Checker is the official pace car at each race of the Piston Cup Series. He resembles a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix^[38] Like the Checker taxi cab, he is bright yellow. Race Official Tom, a Piston Cup official,^[39] reviews videotape in the replay booth for the photo finish in the first race. Tow is a tow truck who removes injured contestants from the track, dragging a disabled but stubborn Chuck Armstrong away from the Dinoco 400 after a collision.

Security

Marlon "Clutches" McKay, security team leader at the Motor Speedway of the South, is a former armored troop carrier, based on a 4th Generation Ford Taurus security car.^[40] Richard Clayton Kensington (a large Piston Cup 1997 Mercury Mountaineer security SUV^[41] voiced by John Cygan) chases paparazzi from the replay booth, yelling "Hey! No cameras! Get outta here!" Marco Axelbender, a Piston Cup security guard at the Los Angeles International Speedway, who is also based on a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer security SUV, refuses to admit Fred to Pit Row without a garage pass.

Vendors

Brian (voiced by Bob Scott), a pickup truck briefly spotted selling souvenirs at the Motor Speedway of the South, shouts "Get your antenna balls here!"^[42] Todd, a Pizza Planet truck, is shown in Cars, Cars 2 and Cars 3. At the end of the first movie, he is seen at the last race. At the end of the second movie, he is seen in Radiator Springs.

Sideshows

The Alphanumeros are a group of cars in tight formation, driving at the beginning of the tiebreaker race in position to spell "PISTON CUP" with each letter formed from multiple, matching moving vehicles. Barney Stormin, a small propeller-driven skywriting biplane, writes "PISTON CUP" only to have it obliterated by Marco's formation of three twin-engine jet fighters.

The Lightyear Blimp (a parody of the Goodyear blimp), is named "Al Oft". His only line is "Oh yeah! Whoo!" when he realizes that the race ended in a tie.

Piston Cup Team Members

Stacy is the pitty on the Leakless team. Jerry Drivechain is a pitty for Team Tank Coat. Petrol Pulaski is a pitty for the RPM team. Chief No Stall is the No Stall racing team's crew chief.

Kori Turbowitz

Kori Turbowitz is a 1997 Ford Puma. A news reporter who makes three appearances in Cars, Turbowitz is shown interviewing McQueen on-camera immediately before his original pit crew resigns en masse, is the first to report Lightning McQueen missing, and later obtains a tip from Doc Hudson revealing McQueen's location in Radiator Springs.

Chuki

Chuki (voiced by Sonoko Konishi^[43]) is a small, light pink hatchback living in Tokyo. Chuki has a very small appearance in Cars as she is shown as one of the news reporters who appear in the multi-clip footage of various TV news channels reporting McQueen's sudden disappearance while being transported to the Los Angeles International Speedway for his tie-breaker final of the Piston Cup.

In Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales episode "Tokyo Mater", Chuki is seen presenting a news broadcast on one of the large TVs installed in Tokyo. In Cars 2, she is seen in the neon advertisement glowboards in Tokyo.

Chuki is based on hatchbacks designed according to Japan's Kei car specifications.

Jay Limo

Jay Limo (voiced by Jay Leno) is the talk show host of The Jay Limo Show, which includes the same famous "brightly-hued skyscrapers" city-landscape in the background. He is the latest generation of the Lincoln Town Car, with an extended front bumper to emulate Leno's famous big chin. He remarks "I don't know what's going to be harder to find; Lightning McQueen or a crew chief who'll work with him!"

News anchors

Chuck Manifold (voiced by Teddy Newton), a blue and somewhat-boxy 1980s-style car, is an anchor for Racing Sports Network (RSN) who appears briefly at the end of the last of multiple media reports of McQueen's disappearance with the one line "They are all asking the same question: Where is McQueen?"

Dan Sclarkenberg (voiced by Bob Bergen), a green car and one of two "braking news" desk anchors on MPH 55 NEWS, is one of the announcers of the "McQueen Missing" segments.

News helicopters

A pair of helicopters with searchlights (as the first of a large group of reporters in Radiator Springs) are not listed in the film's credits but identified elsewhere in the franchise. The red Kathy Copter (voiced by Kathy Coates) only shouts "We have found McQueen!" twice while the white/yellow Ron Hover does not have a speaking part.

Camera and microphone cars

Other press cars (not identified in the film's credits) are Houser Boon (a yellow camera car voiced by Michael Bell exclaiming "Show us the bolt!"),^[44] Tim Rimmer (a grey tabloid news photo car voiced by Bob Bergen booing Chick Hicks #86 when the Piston Cup is awarded), Hooman (a small brown camera car in Radiator Springs voiced by Hooman Khalili), Dash Boardman (a green camera car at the race), Andrea (a small brown reporter car voiced by Colette Whitaker holding a microphone), Matti (a small blue reporter car voiced by Matt Staudt holding a microphone) and Skip Ricter (a brown car who appears outside Los Angeles International Speedway as an announcer voiced by Craig Good; a play on former real-life NASCAR executive Les Richter).

Video coverage of the race itself is handled by Racing Sports Network personnel Artie (one of a pair of video control operators and a light-blue car who exclaims "Bob! Darrell! The Hudson Hornet's back!") and Nelson Blindspot (a light-green SUV, one of multiple Piston Cup video camera operators). Both names reference real-life staff who work with Waltrip on NASCAR on FOX broadcasts, Artie Kempner (director) and Nelson Crozier (spotter).

Shannon Spokes

Shannon Spokes (voiced by Shannon Spake) interviews racers after they win and not being afraid to ask questions.

Mia and Tia Miata

Mia (voiced by Lindsey Collins) and Tia (voiced by Elissa Knight) are identical twin 1997 Mazda MX-5 ("Miata") sisters who are Lightning McQueen's self-proclaimed biggest fans in the first film.^[45] In Lightning McQueen's daydream about the Dinoco Sponsorship, the twins are Dinoco blue, except for the scene in the penthouse, where they are painted gold. After McQueen's disappearance, the twins are devastated that McQueen apparently will not make it to the race. Chick Hicks then swoops in and consoles them, loading them up with his own merchandise and a free Hostile Takeover Bank-sponsored green paint job. Mia and Tia accept the offer, not because they are Chick's fans, but because green complements their eyes. They soon return to being McQueen's fans, turning against Hicks after he deliberately causes Strip "The King" Weathers to wreck in the tie-breaker race.

Mia and Tia eventually move to Radiator Springs and are visible briefly as waitresses at Flo's V8 Café during the end credits. Their characters are based on sisters Mary Lou and Christina Mendez at the Midpoint Café in Adrian, Texas, where the café's (now semi-retired) owner Fran Houser is the basis for "Flo".^[46]

They also appear in the video game of Cars where they challenge Sally to a race to determine who gets a date with Lightning Mcqueen.

In a deleted scene on the Cars DVD, the twins were fans who distract Lightning during a brief stop at the Top Down Truck Stop, a venue with "all convertible waitresses", causing Mack to inadvertently leave without him. The implicit reference to toplessness is largely removed from the final script, which has Mack driving straight through and separates the characters on I-40. Mia and Tia appear in every episode of Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales except Time Travel Mater and make a cameo appearance near the end of Cars 2 as spectators at the new Radiator Springs Grand Prix.

They don't appear in Cars 3, in which a little red car named Maddy McGear is Lightning's biggest fan.

Albert Hinkey

Albert Hinkey (voiced by A.J. Riebli) is an RV who proclaims himself Lightning McQueen's "biggest fan" ("biggest" here being a pun because he is such a large vehicle).^[47] He is seen in the background of races. He is first seen shouting encouraging words to McQueen as he makes it through the big wreck Chick Hicks caused. He is later seen in the tie-breaker race, cheering for McQueen and is shocked when he notices Doc Hudson. When McQueen chooses to forfeit the win and help Strip Weathers finish his last race, he is shown sobbing when he sees what happens. He is later seen in Cars 3, where shouts encouraging words to McQueen once again. His topside is decorated with rows of Lightning/Rust-eze flags. Hinkey also has a loud horn, which he uses while saying "Ka-Chow!" (McQueen's catchphrase) and whose noise is a nuisance to nearby spectators.

His friend Larry Camper, voiced by Larry Benton, exclaims "Dip me in axle grease and call me Slick! It's the Hudson Hornet!" when Lightning's Radiator Springs pit team arrives for the tiebreaker race. This is a joke on the old Harold Lloyd punch line, "step right up and call me speedy!," which originated (mostly) in his hit silent film called The Freshman Lloyd also made another film called Speedy, which may or may not have been a reference, as it was made three years after The Freshman.

Fred

Fred (voiced by Andrew Stanton) is a starstruck, rusty old car resembling a Lada 2107. Everybody knows his name because his license plate holder and license plate read "Hello, my name is" and "FRED", respectively. He is the prop for the recurring gag in the film; when McQueen says his name, he shouts "He knows my name!" twice and, in his excitement, his front bumper (which happens to be his lower jaw) falls off. Later, when he is unable to gain access to the tie-breaker race and Mario Andretti likewise reads his license plate, Fred says, "Mario Andretti knows my name! You gotta let me in now!" He is seen in Radiator Springs at the end of the film with bumper stickers for the last three towns (Kingman, Barstow, and San Bernardino).

He also shows up in Cars Mater-National Championship and Race-O-Rama.

Fred is one of the many rusty old cars at the Rust-eze sponsor tent for McQueen's personal appearance; others (listed in the "Car Finder" game but not named in the movie's credits) include Jonathan Wrenchworths (the rusted green car in Rust-eze advertisements) and Donna Pits (a rusted 1970s car standing beside Fred).

Additional fans

A group of five transport lorries watch the race at a truck stop; two are identified in the "Car Finder" game as Gil (a green Peterbilt) and Paul Valdez (an orange transport with a white stripe and 'PV' on his cap).

A group of RV's watching the tiebreaker at the speedway include Barry Diesel (a thirsty RV with a blue Dinoco visor cap, sipping two kegs of Dinoco Light), Bud (a white RV with a jackalope painted on his back), Clayton Gentlebreeze (a white RV with green stripes) and Syd VanDerKamper (a camper van).

The "more than two hundred thousand cars" watching the tiebreaker race include Coriander Widetrack (a small purple car holding a model aeroplane), Marty Brakeburst (a grey runabout wearing a Piston Cup antenna ball), Mathew "True Blue" McCrew (a blue car behind a fence with "the King" flag on his antenna), Milo (a boxy green car beside McCrew), Polly Puddlejumper (a small blue car with a blue "the King" crown on her antenna), Swift Alternetter (a green SUV surrounded by RV's), Timothy Twostroke (a dark-red car displaying the #95 lightning bolt on his visor and antenna) and Wilmar Flattz (a small light-purple car with "lightning" on his antenna and "95" on his visor).

Maddy McGear

Maddy McGear (voiced by Madeleine McGraw) is Lightning McQueen's biggest fan in Cars 3.

"Junior" #8

Dale Earnhardt Jr., often referred to as "Junior" or "Dale Jr." (voiced by himself), is a Gen 4 Chevrolet SS stock cars that the NASCAR Cup Series used prior to 2007. He closely resembles the #8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS that he drove from his Sprint Cup debut in 1999 until his departure to the team his maternal grandfather Robert Gee, Sr. started, Hendrick Motorsports, in 2008. The car's Budweiser stickers are replaced by Dale Earnhardt Inc. stickers; these stickers refer to the same change made in NASCAR games as well as toys in order to avoid alcohol advertising. Junior is seen during the first race (Dinoco 400) and is involved in the wreck caused by Chick Hicks. When McQueen goes missing, Junior tells the Competition Racing Sports Network "I sure hope that Lightning is okay. I would hate to see anything bad happen to him!". At the tie-breaker, Junior wishes The King good luck in his last race, as "you've been an inspiration to me". Junior is last seen at the Radiator Springs racing museum with The King and his wife Lynda, amazed by Doc Hudson's many season winnings during the 1950s.

Junior does not appear in the video game nor the third film, due to his sponsor not returning in both, likely because it has gone out of business. The real-life Earnhardt Jr., his sister Kelley Miller, and their uncles Robert Gee Jr. and Jimmy Gee, currently operate a second-tier NASCAR team.

A replica of the red livery, with the Hendrick #88 on a Gen 6 Holden Commodore with Hendrick's current Axalta Coating Systems sponsor decals, was used for Earnhardt's final race as a full-time Cup driver in 2017.

Mario Andretti #11

Mario Andretti (voiced by himself) is a former racecar that believes every day is a great day for racing. He is based on the 1967 Holman Moody Ford Fairlane that Andretti drove to victory lane in the 1967 Daytona 500. In the Spanish edition of the movie, Andretti is voiced by Spanish Formula One champion Fernando Alonso.

A small green car seen beside Andretti at the entrance to pit lane is identified in the "Car Finder" game as Patty, Mario's personal assistant. She does not have a speaking role in the film.

The actual Ford Fairlane that Andretti drove was rebuilt as a Mercury Cyclone by Robert Gee (Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s maternal grandfather), driven in 1971 by German F1 and sportscar driver Rolf Stommelen for his only NASCAR start at Talladega Superspeedway, then sold to Darrell Waltrip for use his five races in 1972 and the first half of the 1973 season. It later became a Sportsman racer for Waltrip, but was crashed in 1975 at the Permatex 300 Sportsman race (now Xfinity Series race). Abandoned by Gee, it stayed there until a few NASCAR mechanics restored the car in its 1972 configuration as a 1971 Mercury Cyclone (brown #95) in the mid-1990s for a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Waltrip's first Cup start. It is displayed at Waltrip's museum in Harrisburg, North Carolina, and part of an Andretti exhibit at the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame in 2013. (A replica of the car as it looked in 1966 was also part of it.)^[48]

Michael Schumacher

Michael Schumacher (voiced by himself) is a 2005 Ferrari F430 sports car. He is a Ferrari in reference to five of his seven Formula One championships which were achieved with Ferrari F1. He appears at Luigi's shop at the end of the movie after being told by Lightning McQueen that "this is the best place in the world to buy tires", and asks to order a few sets of tires for himself and a pair of Maserati Quattroportes who accompany him. After Luigi faints from the excitement of having "a real Michael Schumacher Ferrari in his store", Schumacher speaks to Guido in Italian, and Guido subsequently faints. The Italian phrase he speaks is, "I hope that your friend recovers, I was told that you are fantastic." Because of licensing issues, in the Cars toyline, his name is called Ferrari F430 instead of his name himself.

Darrell Cartrip

Darrell Cartrip (voiced by Darrell Waltrip), a 1977 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, is a Piston Cup announcer in the first and the third film. A former Piston Cup racer, the enthusiastic Cartrip uses Waltrip's catchphrase "Boogity boogity boogity! Let's go racing, boys!".^[49]

Cartrip appears in the Cars video game as a solo announcer; he is a playable character in the Piston Cup VS. and Arcade mode. He returns in the second film as a World Grand Prix announcer.

A real-life 1977 Monte Carlo was driven by Waltrip with DiGard Motorsports, finishing a very close second-place finish (11 points behind Richard Petty) for the 1979 championship Cup.^[50] Waltrip raced from midway through the 1975 season until the 1980 season driving for the team. The real-life car's original number (DiGard's #88) and green-and-white Gatorade livery do not appear on the character (the livery's design is now owned by PepsiCo). The film's credits list Darrell Waltrip Motorsports (his licensing arm) as the "#17 Car" (known for his Hendrick Motorsports and own efforts in winning three of NASCAR's four majors); Waltrip's various NASCAR entries have included a #17 (three times—two of those he owned, the other belonging to Hendrick Motorsports) and a #95 (the one he drove in his 1972 debut was at one time the real-life former Mario Andretti #11 from 1967 seen in the Cars franchise, is one such).

The most famous of the real-life 1977 DiGard Monte Carlos was the infamous "Bertha", displayed at the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega, known for a weight-reduction scheme (devised by Gary Nelson and Buddy Parrott) where up to 100 pounds (45 kg) of buckshot is dropped on-track on parade laps to lighten the car. A subsequent NASCAR rule change to weigh cars after the race now prevents this type of ruse. Bertha won 19 NASCAR premiership races in its career, including the 1978 Coca-Cola 600, Waltrip's first major.^[51]

He is the main announcer for the Piston Cup races, along with Bob Cutlass; announcer in Cars and Cars 3; he is voiced by Darrell Waltrip.

Van and Minny

Saturn Relay (Van)

Dodge Grand Caravan (Minny)

Van (voiced by Richard Kind) and Minny (voiced by Edie McClurg) are husband and wife. In the first film, they are lost and pass through Radiator Springs while trying to find their way back to Interstate 40. Van refuses to ask directions, claiming not to need them due to having a GPS. Minny mentions that Van did the same when they were heading up to the "Crazy Days" (a parody of Derby Days^[52]) in Shakopee. U.S. Route 66, taken off the map in 1985, is conspicuously absent from stored maps in automotive aftermarket GPS units — an omission also noted by Harv, Lightning's agent, and a minor running joke in the film. After the credits, they get lost and are dirty in the desert. Minny asks Van for directions, but Van, driven to insanity, still refuses and says that there is an on-ramp close.

Both are equipped with car alarms, which they arm after their encounter with Lightning McQueen when he begs them to call for help (they dismissed his plea as madness). After the final credits, Van and Minny are shown dirty and lost somewhere in the desert, having never asked for directions, with Van almost driven to insanity. Their names combine as a pun on "minivan". Van loosely resembles a 2006 Saturn Relay and Minny appears to be a 1996 Dodge Caravan. Minny speaks with a pronounced Minnesota accent.

Van and Minny reappear near the end of the second film. While Minny is mesmerized by Mater's spy story, Van does not believe one word of it until British agent Holley Shiftwell arrives to confirm it, which surprises Van, leaving him mesmerized by her and annoying Minny. In the final scene, when a rocket-propelled Mater rushes past Van, maps that Van was carrying are sent flying.

Delinquent Road Hazards

The Delinquent Road Hazards are four modified tuner cars that intentionally cause trouble on the highway: Boost (a purple Kyoko Jitzu with carbon fiber elements, large spoiler and three nitrous oxide boost tanks; voiced by Jonas Rivera), DJ (a blue Reko-Do Spinner with teal decals, and an advanced sound system; voiced by his inspirational actor, E.J. Holowicki), Wingo (a lime green Gashi Wingo with purple flame and white Japanese lettering decals and a five layered spoiler; voiced by Adrian Ochoa) and Snot Rod (an orange Bragatron Roadburner modified as a drag racing funny car with a huge V8 engine block and four side pipes on each side that releases huge streams of fire as he sneezes; voiced by Pixar actor Lou Romano). Their group name possibly comes from a derogatory term used by Sheriff when referring to McQueen when he ordered Mater to tow the racecar to traffic court. They catch Mack nodding off to sleep on the way to California and amuse themselves by nudging him onto the rumble strips along the shoulder. The resulting vibration causes Mack's trailer door to open and a sleeping McQueen to roll out of the trailer. When the chronically sniffly Snot Rod sneezes, Mack is startled awake, and accelerates away, leaving the still-sleeping McQueen behind near Radiator Springs. During the end credits, the Hazards are caught speeding on the outskirts of Radiator Springs by the Sheriff, who gives chase and places them in the impound lot. Like McQueen before them, Doc and the Sheriff have them sentenced to messy roadwork towing Bessie.

In the video game adaption, Lightning races against them outside of Radiator Springs. The Delinquent Road Hazards later robbed Mack of the items that he was bringing to Lightning. Lightning went after them, defeated them, and reclaimed the items. When impounded, the Delinquent Road Hazards confess to Lightning and Sheriff that they were hired by Chick Hicks.

In the Italian dub, three of the Hazards are voiced by F1 drivers: Giancarlo Fisichella (Boost), Emanuele Pirro (Wingo) and Jarno Trulli (DJ).

Boost, DJ and Wingo make a cameo appearance at the start of Tokyo Mater, drifting along the main road of Radiator Springs and shouting insults at the residents before Sheriff gives chase to them.

Snot Rod made a cameo in a non-anthropomorphic state on a calendar in Toy Story 3 inside of Andy's room.

TJ Hummer

Thad Jefferson “TJ” Hummer (voiced by Jan Rabson) is a vain Hummer H1 that Sarge teaches in his boot camp during the end of the movie. Unlike the other SUVs in the boot camp, TJ refuses to go off-road, fearing that he will get dirt on his rims, but Sarge forces him to do so. His name may be a play on the action character T.J. Hooker. The other three boot camp recruits (none of which have speaking parts) are Frank "Pinky" Pinkerton (a pink SUV), Stephen Murphy (an orange SUV) and Charlie Cargo.

Sven "The Governator"

Sven "The Governator" (voiced by Jess Harnell) is an AM General HMMWV. His only line is "Lightning McQueen must be found at all costs!"

The name, voice, and vehicle is a parody of Arnold Schwarzenegger's then-current position as California governor, the first three Terminator films he starred on, and the fact that he was one of the first Hummer H1 owners.

Jerry Recycled Batteries

Jerry (voiced by Joe Ranft) is a 1979 Peterbilt 352. He has the words "Recycled Batteries" on his side. When Lightning McQueen wakes up in the middle of the highway after falling out of Mack's trailer, Lightning attempts to find Mack, and notices Jerry turning on one of the exits. Lightning, believing it is Mack, starts racing toward the hauler. After nearly being hit by a freight train, McQueen approaches the truck, only to discover that it's actually Jerry, who scolds Lightning for mistaking him for a Mack truck and grumpily drives off.

Interstate 40 vehicles

Various cars and trucks in non-speaking roles are named in the "Car Finder" game but have only silent cameos in the film.

Bertha Butterswagon, a small green runabout, watches Mack admiring his own reflection in a metal tanker truck. Leroy Traffik, a minivan with a mattress on his roof and a temporary spare as his right-rear wheel, passes a tired Mack just before the truck stop. He is seen with new tires from Luigi's during the film's epilogue.

Ben Crankleshaft, Chet Boxkaar and Oliver Lightload are sleeping trucks at the Top Down Truck Stop.

Duff Wrecks is a white pickup truck briefly seen one lane away from the Delinquent Road Hazard gang on I-40.

Bennie Caliper is a small white runabout seen towards the end of the credits sequence, as the Radiator Springs residents are watching films in the Drive-In Theatre.

Fletcher and Gerald

Fletcher (voiced by Corey Burton), and Gerald (voiced by Steve Purcell) are two British race cars who often race against Lightning McQueen in road races around Radiator Springs in Cars: The Video Game. Fletcher is a green 1954 Jaguar XK120 with the number 3 in red inside a white circle. He is very kind to his friends and colleagues and sometimes be a little bit of a show off in races. Fletcher's colleague Gerald is a dark purple 1967 Jaguar XK-E with the number 4 inside a white circle on his doors. Gerald is sometimes a bit shy and rarely talks since he allows Fletcher doing the talking but he did have a speaking role in North Desert Dash where they saw El Guapo bragging about his gold details. They both returned in Cars Mater-National.

El Guapo and Papo

El Guapo (voiced by Alex Reymundo) and Papo (voiced by Rafael Sigler) are Mexican race cars who visit Radiator Springs to race against Lightning McQueen in road races around Radiator Springs in Cars: The Video Game. El Guapo is a light green 1975 Ford Crown Victoria with chrome decals and sections of gold painted on his rims, bumpers, grille, and rear-view mirrors. He has the license plate reading "GUAPO" in white instead of brown. El Guapo tends to be a show off mostly because of his bragging of his gold details because he can't take first place if he doesn't look the part. He can have a rivally against Fletcher and Gerald on some occasions but his does appear friendly. Papo is El Guapo's friend who is a purple 1947 Chevrolet Coupe with blue "flame" designs on his hood and doors. Papo is a car with few words and many talents. He has hydraulics and can only speak Spanish. Due to his shape, some fans have mistaken him for Doc Hudson when he appears in race tracks. But he is very different from Doc Hudson.

The Queens Gang

The Queens Gang are a group of four racing muscle cars from Queens, New York who were unquestionably hired by Chick Hicks to race his rival, Lightning McQueen in Radiator Springs: Vince (Red and white double striped 1971 Pontiac Firebird with number 9; voiced by Jerry DeCapua), Sonny (Pinkish-grey 1971 Plymouth GTX 440+6 with number 0; voiced by Quinton Flynn), Barry (Orange and blue 1970 Plymouth Roadrunner with number 8 in a blade spade; voiced by Rob Izenberg), and Lenny (Light blue and white striped 1969 Chevrolet Camaro with number 66; voiced by Greg Baldwin). The four racers challenged Lightning McQueen to a race in Cars the Video Game around Ornament Valley to prove that McQueen is the best race car around and trained him for the rest of the Piston Cup season. The gang continues their races against Lightning until they revealed that Chick Hicks was allied with the group who tries to help slow McQueen down. All of the cars returned in Cars Mater-National and their gang symbols made a camo appearance in Cars Race-O-Rama.

Vince is a rather arrogant and confident race car who leads his gang members, Sonny, Barry and Lenny.

Sonny is a tough and fast race car with his spoiler giving great downforce.

Barry, even though supportive with his group, appears to be more spineless than them, and most of his dialogue revolves around him attempting to impress Vince. But, most of the time gets bumped every single time.

Lenny is a strong silent type of the gang. His dialogue consists solely of phrases like "good!" and "not good!", spoken in a rough, low-pitch voice.

Mater's Cousins

Mater's Cousins (voiced by Bill Farmer and James Patrick Stuart) are six Rustbucket demolition derby race cars who visited Rustbucket Stadium to see Mater and race him in the "Rustbucket Race-O-Rama". Their names are Tommy Joe, Buford, Cletus, Zeke, Judd and Lewis.

Tommy Joe, or TJ for short as seen on his license plate, is painted cream with the number 83 on his sides and number boards. He once greeted Mater's friend, Lightning McQueen by giving him a "hood bump" which is one of Tommy Joe's form of greetings. He is shown to have more nerve than the other cousins, as he does not react to when Mater says to "act natural" in Cars: Mater-National Championship after witnessing Emma, a rallycross champ from England who joins for the festival.
Buford is painted blue with the number 20 on his sides and number boards (He has the number 7 in his diecast and other media). Despite his appearance, Buford is actually a talented demolition derby racer. His license plate is completely blank, although there appears to be a stain on it, which means it could have previously read "Buford".
Cletus is painted green with the number 6 on his sides with a faded orange circle and number boards. Cletus' dialogue suggests that he is the oldest of Mater's cousins, as he sometimes refers to himself as "old-timer" and tells his opponents to "mind their elders" when he is passed.
Judd is painted gold with the number 5 in blue on his sides and number boards. Though one of the brightest colored racers, he is a dirty demolition derby race car that can often be found competing aggressively in races. He is also one of the faster cars in the Rustbucket Stadium.
Zeke is painted white with a faded blue line at the center and the number 75 on his sides in blue and number boards. He is usually one of the fastest cars (or just the fastest car) in the Rustbucket races often finishes on the podium. While Zeke's dialogue seems to suggest he is less intelligent than the others, little else is known about him.
Lewis is painted grey with the number 81 on his sides and number boards in white. He is usually fast but sometimes he gets distracted and sometimes appears slower than normal.

All of Mater's Cousins appear in all of the Rustbucket races in the first four Cars video games often racing against Mater and sometimes Lightning McQueen and Emma.

Giovanni

Giovanni (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is a red 2008 Ferrari F430 heavily tuned for racing with black lining around his doors and windows, and with the Ferrari logo on his hood. He has chrome rims and his license plate reads "G10V4NNI". He is Lightning McQueen's biggest racing fan who inspired him to be a racer himself while watching Lightning's races in his home country of Italy. He appears as one of the main characters in Mater-National and a playable character. When he first arrived in Radiator Springs, he was impressed with Luigi and Guido who are dressed up in Italian colors and didn't notice Lightning McQueen (because he's red like him) until he makes it clear that his is Lightning McQueen. Giovanni reveals to McQueen who is a big fan of him and can't wait to race against him until Lightning decides to have a team rally race which he agrees to race. Luigi and Guido, jealous of McQueen joined his team instead of Lightning's team. He later reappears in the Radiator Springs Speedway (Back then, it was called the Radiator Springs Stadium) with his good friend, Lightning McQueen. Even though he's a friendly racer off the track, he shows the competition no mercy when they are out on the race track. After the Mater-National ended, Giovanni invited Lightning McQueen and his friends to continue the festival in the European Circuit one day which Lightning agrees.

Otto Von Fassenbottom

Otto von Fassenbottom (voiced by Dee Bradley Baker) is a silver touring car from Germany with the stripes of the German flag over the back of his body, Lightyear single lug-nut racing tires, built in cruise control system and the number 8 on his hood and front doors. He is heavily modified for the LM GTE Pro class in the 24 Hours of Le Cars (a cars version to the real life 24 Hours of Le Mans). He is an endurance racing champion who likes to sign autographs for his fans and has a girlfriend named Jenny who likes to cruise fast on the Autobahn. He appears in Cars: Mater-National as a playable character. When Otto first arrived in Radiator Springs, he was caught speeding by Sheriff who told Lightning McQueen that he was going 120 mph, way surpassing the town's speed limit which was 25 mph which Otto replies he's a race car and doesn't slow down and goes from 0–90 km/h in 2 seconds. But McQueen told Sheriff to let him go and challenged Otto to a three lap race which he accepts (even though he replied that three laps was like a Sunday Drive). After their race, Otto wanted to race Lightning some more which he replied to see the town and go to Lizzie's Curio Shop to buy some souvenirs for his girlfriend, Jenny which he thanks him, only to get himself covered in stickers afterwards. Otto appears in all of the Stadium races in Story Mode and arcade unless you are racing as him.

Emma

Emma (voiced by Jennifer Hale) is a friendly white and pink rally car from England with a sticker reading "Series 13" on her hood and sides. She has chrome rims and pink mirrors. Her model is most likely a 2008 Volkswagen Scirocco, heavily tuned for rallies. Her license plate is P33LIN. She is a playable character in Cars: Mater-National. Emma is a famous rally car in her home country of England, popular for her personality and amazing racing abilities. During her appearance in Cars Mater-National, she competes with Mater and his cousins at the Rustbucket Stadium. After meeting Mater for the first time, the two became fast friends and began to develop a relationship. She returned in Cars Race-O-Rama in the PSP and Nintendo DS versions only.

Gudmund

Gudmund (voiced by Scott Wood; pronounced as good-mund) is a Swedish rally car who appears in Cars Mater-National and the third international competitor to greet Lightning McQueen (after Giovanni and Otto) and a playable character. He is a VAZ 2107 rally car painted yellow and blue with four rally headlights on his roof to help him see better in dark tunnels. On his roof, he has a vertical blue stripe, as well as a sticker that reads "Rallye Moto Car" (a reference to "Rallye Monte Carlo", along with the number 46. He also has a sticker on his left side that reads "Service" and "46" (his right side features "Service" written in Swedish). He has the word “TURBO” inscribed in yellow on his side skirts and his license plate saying “SWEEDEE” at the back. His biggest fear is the haunted hook. During his visit in Radiator Springs, he was racing out of the Rustbucket Caverns and introduced himself to Lightning McQueen and his friend, Sarge. He challenges them to a race in the dark tunnel. Lightning says that he cannot race because back then, he had no headlights and that he is scared of crashing, but then Sarge gives him his night vision goggles, so now they can race in the dark tunnel. He races in the race, then in the end-scene, he tells about a story about a monster called the Haunted Hook which was a rugged wild beast constructed out of rusty metal with a razor sharp hook behind him. Then Lightning tries to introduce him to Mater. But Mater thinks Gudmund is the Ghostlight due to his bright headlights while Gudmund thinks Mater is the Haunted Hook, so they run away from each other, much to the concern of McQueen.

Koji

Koji (voiced by Masi Oka) is a Japanese drift racing car and the fourth international competitor to greet Lightning McQueen in Cars: Mater-National. He only speaks Japanese, but can understand some English to what Lightning McQueen said. Koji is painted red with white designs towards his rear, a carbon fiber hood, black spoiler and the word "Kojimoto" painted on both of his doors in white. He is modeled after a Nissan 350Z drift car and a playable character in Mater-National. During his visit in Radiator Springs, he was seen in first place during a race with Otto flashing by in second. Behind them were Sonny and Vince who thought they were in the wrong race, leaving Lightning McQueen curious saying there's a new guy in town. He challenged Lightning to a canyon race around Tailfin Pass. Once the race is complete, Lightning and Koji are having a friendly discussion when Mater comes speeding at them, drifting a turn and hits a bump, where he goes flying across the bridge, and miraculously lands on his tires. The two are amazed at Mater's stunt, which Mater claims that he meant to do.

Monster Truck Racers

Count Spatula (voiced by Steve Purcell), is a tough monster truck racer painted grey, and has several modifications, including two engine blocks (one in his hood and one mounted midship in his flatbed) and 12 pipes (six on each side) that release fire. He often shouts food related threats to his opponents, including flattening them like a pancake.
The Crippler (voiced by E.J. Holowicki) is a white hospital monster truck who resembles an ambulance with six tailpipes, an air horn and a siren on his roof. On his doors, he has a "cushion" design and the words "THE CRIPPLER". He also has a black grille, headlights and hydraulics that connect his chassis to his giant tires. He often shouts medical related threats to his opponents.
Ginormous (voiced by Joel McCrary) is a monster truck that is painted gray, with a darker shade of gray towards his rear. He has two sets of three exhaust pipes, one on each side of his doors, as well as a gray bumper, a chrome grille and silver "W" spokes on his tires. He doesn't talk much and instead intimidates his opponents by growling and roaring at them.

All three monster trucks appeared in the first Cars video games who visit Radiator Springs to challenge Lightning McQueen in monster truck rally races in Radiator Springs, including the ones in Rustbucket Stadium which bring thousands of fans throughout Carburetor County. Spatula also races in select road races in Cars the Video Game as well as Monster McQueen. Since the depute of Monster Mater and Sulley from Mater-National, Spatula is no longer a playable character but he does appear as a computer opponent in all of the monster truck races along with his friends Ginormous and The Crippler.

Philip

Philip (voiced by Joe Smith), spelled as Phillip in concept art, is a red and tan 1937 Cord 812 Cabriolet and an English tourist. He appears in Cars: Maternational in a cutscene for Radiator Springs Circuit where he almost crashes into Lightning McQueen who was driving in the opposite side of Main Street. After narrowly avoided each other, Lightning asked the traveler why was he driving on the wrong side of the road, which he replied his name is Philip and was still new to America since he is from England who usually drives on the left side of the road as composed to United States regulation say they must drive on the right side. Philip soon quickly realized that he was talking to Lightning McQueen who overreacted in joy and was pleased to meet Doc Hudson, aka the Fabulous Hudson Hornet even after he scolded him for blocking the road. Lightning wanted to give Philip driving lessons so he can get the hang of driving on the right side of the road which his mistook as having a private racing lesson with Fred overreactly volunteers to join. Barry, a member of Vince's group asked the group if there was a race starting which Philip says yes, and against Lightning McQueen and the Fabulous Hudson Hornet (Doc Hudson). At first a little hesitant, but agreed to a three lap race around Radiator Springs. He later reappeared as an opponent in Inside the Turkey and Canyon Run as well as being a fifth opponent in Doc & the Law's race and chase mini game. In the story "Banged Up" in the "World of Cars" book, Doc spotted Philip damaged on the side of the road which he repaired him at his clinic. Philip soon drove away thanking him.

Yuri

Yuri (voiced by Mark Ivanir) is a dark green Russian rally car who strongly resembles a Lada 1200 with the front of a Volga M24-10 and the proportion of a Moskwich 412. His license plate reads "YURIKAA" which combines his name and Eureka. He speaks in a Russian accent.

In Cars Mater-National despite having no appearance in a cutscene, he appears as an opponent in Team Relay 1 with Giovanni and Luigi, Inside the Turkey, Canyan Run and Team Relay 3 with Fletcher and Gerald.

Candice

Candice (voiced by Tara Strong) is a pink 2005 Porsche 911 Carrera (although different headlights) who lives in Santa Carburera, California and was one of Chick Hicks's protégées in Cars Race-O-Rama before betraying and quitting on him. Her license plate reads “SO HOT”. She has a very spoiled, presumed and selfish attitude almost like a spoiled teenager. After losing to Lightning McQueen in her home town, she gets so upset about losing, that she calls her daddy in her trailer to say that she wants new tires, paint and everything NOW! Her daddy agrees with this and Candice drove off for some shopping. After seeing Lightning beat a modified Chick in the Race-O-Rama finals in Radiator Springs Speedway, she apologized to him along with her friends, Stinger and El Machismo for their previous behavior. She can also translate Stinger's expressions (who only communicates by revving his engine). Lightning accepted her apology and invites her to his racing academy anytime. Candice thanks him and blows him a kiss.

El Machismo

El Machismo (voiced by Randy Savage) is a dark blue and orange 2001 Dodge Ram off-road racing truck whose a celebrity in Autopia and was one of Chick Hicks's protégées in Cars Race-O-Rama before quitting on him. Like Chick, he was sponsored by Hostile Takeover Bank with his number 13 on his sides. He also has Nitroade and ReVolting sponsor stickers on his sides. His catch phrase is “I'm bigger than big, badder than bad, I am El Machismo!” (A spin-off of McQueen's catchphrase, "I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick, I am Lightning!") After losing to Lightning McQueen in his town, he gets so angry, he blames Chick and Motor Co. for making him lose and asks for bigger tires, bigger shocks, bigger fenders, bigger everything to crush the competition (which Chick Hicks admits he's not that much of a sole loser unlike him). After seeing Lightning beat a modified Chick in the Race-O-Rama finals in Radiator Springs Speedway, he apologized to him along with his friends, Candice and Stinger for their previous behavior. He says to Lightning that he's better than bad, faster than fast which he meant he likes how he races. Lightning accepted his apology and invites him over to his racing academy anytime who greatly accepts.

Stinger

Stinger is an orange 2008 Dodge Challenger muscle car from Motoropolis City with a carbon fiber black hood, a racing spoiler and a Treadwell County license plate that reads "STINGER". He was one of Chick Hicks's friends in Cars Race-O-Rama before betraying him. He doesn't talk much. He usually communicates by revving his HEMI V8 engine which Ramone regarded him as the strong silent type. After seeing Stinger lost to McQueen, Chick gets mad at him and calls him a steel brain of a worthless bucket of bolts. This made Stinger very angry and rev his engine furiously. But when Chick asked what he had to say for himself, Stinger just drove away. After seeing Lightning beat a modified Chick in the Race-O-Rama finals in Radiator Springs Speedway, he apologized to him along with his friends, Candice and El Machismo for their previous behavior and for being mean to him earlier. Lightning accepted his apology and invites him over to his racing academy anytime. Stinger revs his engine as a thank you to McQueen and agrees of joining him.

Bubba

Bubba (voiced by Lloyd Sherr) is an orange mean tow truck who originally lived in Radiator Springs and is Mater's hated rival. Some cars are born bad, and Bubba is part of the lot. Not very intelligent, he collects defects. For him, every day is a demolition company which he is the prime contractor. Its small size does not matter: it has enough for everyone in malignancy receive him. Bubba once reunited with Mater after several years apart who challenges Mater to race in Rustbucket Stadium for the towing rights to Radiator Springs with his friends Tater and Tater Jr. He has a bully attitude and he's not a very good loser, as he loses the towing racing series to Mater. He says he will come back for revenge on Mater and get rid of him if it's the last thing he does. Bubba first appeared in the story "Hoodwinked" when he found and took Mater's hood (after he accidentally rips it off while show off his fish moves to Buford, Cletus and Judd.) and plays with it with his friend until they get tired and Bubba tosses it into a tree (which Red recovers it for Mater by spraying it with his hose). He later appears when Mater and his cousins head back to town where he challenges Mater to a race, and the loser will buy the winner a tank of gas. Then Mater had an idea. He decided that they should race backwards, because he knew that Bubba can't race backwards. The race track went down Main Street, around the statue of Stanley twice, then back down Main Street to the finish line. Bubba started out in the lead, but he lost control when he went around the statue of Stanley. Mater passed him, and won the race.

Tater and Tater Jr.

Tater (voiced by Stephen Stanton) and Tater Jr. (voiced by Andrew Stanton) are two rusty tow trucks that are the proprider of the world famous "'Ol Tater Towing Company" and used to be Bubba's sidekicks but reformed and became friends of Mater in the end. Tater and Tater Jr. have opposite paint jobs of each other: Tater is painted brown, with green doors and a black hat and brown rims. Tater Jr.'s scheme is the other way around - green with brown doors, and with a white hat. Tater and Tater Jr. came all the way down to Radiator Springs with their fellow Bubba to race in the towing racing at the Rustbucket stadium. Unlike Bubba, the Taters are friendly and a little goofy. They didn't win the towing racing series, but they made a new friend (since their names Tater rhymes with Mater's name) and decide to stay a while in Radiator Springs.

Trev Diesel

Trev Diesel is a North American diesel locomotive. In the first movie, he is seen leading a manifest freight along with 2 cabless B units while Lightning McQueen races him to a railroad crossing ahead to catch up to who he presumed as Mack, barely beating him to the crossing.

He is based on an Electro Motive Corporation E-Unit (possibly an E7 or E8) and a bulldog nosed F series locomotive (possibly an EMD F3 or F7), being a hybrid 6 axle variant. He has the roster number A113 (although most diesels at the time were numbered without alphabetical characters) and is equipped with a horn that aesthetically matches a Leslie SL-4T with a split manifold separating the horn into a double 2 chime horn placed on both sides of the locomotive, much like the horn placement on Amtrak’s fleet of EMD SDP40Fs. However, in the movie, the sound the horn makes is similar to that of a Nathan K3L/K3LA.

These are characters who have first or only appeared in the film Cars 2 (2011).

Secret agents and spies

Finn McMissile

Finn McMissile borrowed various design cues from 1960s sportscars, including the (from top to bottom; Peerless, Aston Martin DB5 and BMW 507

Finn McMissile (voiced by Michael Caine in the second film, Martin Jarvis in the video games) is a British secret agent who recruits Mater to help in his mission. His design is inspired by several cars: the roofline and doors of the Volvo P1800 (possibly inspired by Roger Moore's ownership of one while filming The Saint TV espionage series in the early 1960s, as Moore also portrayed Bond from 1973 to 1985), the grill and fenders of the BMW 507, and some major elements of the iconic James Bond Aston Martin DB5, debuting in Goldfinger (including its sound, as clearly heard in the intro of GoldenEye). The grille looks like a suave mustache. His license plate is 314 FMCM, which includes a reference to his initials. The number 314 indicates Caine's birthday, March 14, the same day as Billy Crystal, another actor for Pixar.

Like Bond's car, Finn has plenty of gadgets.^[53] His small tailfins were inspired by a 1958 British sports car called the Peerless—one of the few British cars with fins.^[54] Finn is fluent in many languages, most notably English, Japanese, French, and Italian. He is outfitted with a plethora of gadgets, including: two grappling hooks, a spy camera, a missile launcher, a deployable glass cutter, front wheel hub magnetic explosives launchers, deployable machine guns, surveillance probes, a miniature car called a "skate jack", an undercarriage mounted quad harpoon gun, a hydrofoil for oversea travel, a hologram generator, and a submarine-mode for underwater escapes.^[54] His belief about the World Grand Prix turns out to be true, as it was all just a setup by Miles Axlerod to make alternate fuel seem dangerous and make cars run on his own fuel with no choice.

Finn McMissile appears in Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure. It was revealed that Finn was a spy who was on the biggest oil platform in the world before he met Mater. None of them knew that Mater was not a spy. He just answered the question correctly.

Holley Shiftwell

Holley Shiftwell's design is heavily influenced by Jaguar supercars; the C-X75 and XJR-15

Holley Shiftwell (voiced by Emily Mortimer) is a British spy-in-training, and Mater's love interest. She is loosely based on the Jaguar C-X75 and Jaguar XJR-15.

Holley's name is a reference to Holley Performance Products, Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance carburetors and fuel systems located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Her design was made from a Jaguar XJR-15. Her name is possibly also a reference to Bond Girl Holly Goodhead. Her license plate is HS1201, which includes her initials. The number 1201 is Emily Mortimer's birthday in American date order (December 1).

Holley is equipped with gadgets including: (front) projection lamps above headlights that emit a heads-up display, headlight cameras; a (side) right wheel concealed gun and an electro-shock device, a telescoping utility arm, (undercarriage) mounted dual trackball platforms for controlling the heads-up display, and retractable wings for flight.^[54]

Holley Shiftwell appears in Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure. She is a playable character in the Disney Infinity series.

Siddeley

Siddeley (voiced by Jason Isaacs) is a Gulfstream V spy jet. He is 176 feet long with a 157-foot wingspan (53 and 48 meters respectively) and is shown to possess afterburners, though no aspect of his airframe is suited to supersonic flight, In addition, he has VTOL (vertical-takeoff and landing) capabilities. His tail has A113 painted on it, a recurring gag in the Pixar films. Siddeley is also seen once in the Mexican Airport in the spinoff movie Planes as a background jet, and twice in its sequel Planes: Fire and Rescue as a visiting VIP (Very Important Plane), and was mentioned to be the cause of the massive wildfire during the third-fourth of the movie. ^[55] His name is a reference to the British aerospace company Hawker Siddeley.

Stephenson

Stephenson is a spy train, who first appeared in Cars 2 working with Finn McMissile. Stephenson brings Finn, Holley, and Mater to Porto Corsa, Italy. Stephenson is a state-of-the-art bullet train, who scrambles switchboards, hops international rail lines, and can make it from Dover to Porto Corsa in five hours. He has no dining car and no spare compartment because he's filled with the finest in high-tech, classified spy gear and probably has a few secret agents aboard. One of his carriages contains high-tech equipment that modifies and adds gadgets to cars. His only line in Cars 2 is "Finn, one hour to Porta Corsa". Stephenson is named after the "father of railways", namely George Stephenson.

Leland Turbo

Leland Turbo (voiced by Jason Isaacs) was a British agent who appeared in the film's beginning. He sends a video message to Finn McMissile about what he sees in Professor Zündapp's oil rig. However, by the time Finn arrives at the rig, the lemons have found Leland and crushed him into a cube.

Rod "Torque" Redline

Rod Redline (voiced by Bruce Campbell) was considered by many as America's greatest spy. He is the agent McMissile and Shiftwell were supposed to meet before he ran into Mater, which leads to the mistake of the spy cars thinking Mater is Rod Redline. He is a crossover between a 2005 Mustang GT and a Dodge Challenger R/T. His license plate suggests that he is from Michigan, which is where Bruce is from.

In the beginning of the film, he is seen by McMissile talking to Professor Zündapp about the camera. In the bathroom, Rod takes off his Rex Gremlin disguise so Finn and Holley can recognize him. Unfortunately, lemons Grem and Acer follow him in the bathroom and his plan backfires when they recognize him before Holley can meet him. Rod tries to fight them off, but the two lemons dodge his tactics and severely damage him. Cornered by the villains, he turns his information over to a rusty American tow truck named Mater before being captured. He is later drained out from his own gas and filled with Allinol at the lemons' hideout during their torture of him. Rod thanks them due to the fact that Allinol is good for cars, but Professor Zündapp reveals to the agent that Allinol explodes when it is hit with an electromagnetic pulse. As it turned out, the Lemons were going to torture him until he told them who the information was passed to.

Finn has paid Crabby to bring him to a certain location in the ocean so he can look for a car, a request that greatly puzzles Crabby. Once they reach the spot, Tony Trihull (see below) intercepts Crabby and threatens him with a missile launcher, forcing him to turn back. Crabby apologizes to Finn as he heads home, not knowing that Finn has already slipped off board and hitched onto Tony to continue his mission.

Lemons

The Lemons are international criminals that appear in Cars 2.

Sir Miles Axlerod

Sir Miles Axlerod (voiced by Eddie Izzard) is a former oil baron and the antagonist of the second film. He has sold off his fortune after he supposedly converted himself into an electric vehicle. Sir Miles was the first car to circumnavigate the globe without any GPS. Axlerod created the World Grand Prix to promote his new wonder-fuel, Allinol. Axlerod later reveals that he owns the largest untapped oil reserves in the world. His "alternative fuel" is actually ordinary gasoline engineered to ignite if hit with electromagnetic pulses from weapons disguised as television cameras. Axlerod's plans to use oil for world domination are eventually exposed. Sir Miles plans to use Professor Zündapp and the Lemon Cars to kill McQueen in the final race, but the EMP weapon fails to finish him off because Sarge switched McQueen's Allinol for Fillmore's organic fuel. As a backup, Axlerod has Zündapp and the lemon cars implant a bomb on Mater's air filter which was not seen in the climax. Mater confronts Axlerod about the conspiracy, also revealing he had lied about being an electric and remained an oil tycoon, and forces him to deactivate the bomb with a voice command, proving that he was the one who set it. Axlerod's engine turns out to be the Rover V8 in the photo obtained by McMissile and Shiftwell after Mater opened his front hood, exposing him as a fraud, and is subsequently arrested by the British police. He is based on a 2011 Land Rover Discovery and possibly on Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the James Bond films.

Professor Wolfgang Otto Zündapp

Professor Zündapp (voiced by Thomas Kretschmann), often referred simply as Professor Z, is an internationally wanted weapon designer who is modelled after a 1958 Zündapp Janus 250 with a broken roof rack that evokes the look of a comb over.

According to Lego.com, his full name is Wolfgang Otto Zundapp.

Zündapp also appears in Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure.

Grem and Acer

Grem (voiced by Joe Mantegna) is a dented, rusty orange AMC Gremlin. Acer (voiced by Peter Jacobson) is a beat-up green AMC Pacer.

Even though they don't have all the spy weapons and gadgets they are still tough and will do anything and everything to stop secret agents.

During the final showdown in England, Grem and Acer try to catch Lightning and Mater only for Holley to send them flying into the nearby Ye Left Turn Inn where they accidentally spilled all the drinks. This causes the tough patrons to beat them up as a tire from one of them rolls out of the bar.

They are possibly based on Mr. Wint and Mr. Kidd from the James Bond film Diamonds Are Forever.

He is a 2009 Formula FB1 Prototype Racer, according to Meet the Cars and other books. He is painted red with white and green decals, his number 1 on his front and sidepods, and LED lights underneath his front wing for night time racing (which is never seen in Formula 1, because the front wing is the most common part of an F1 car that breaks). His pit crew consists of a large number of race pitties and his crew chief, Giuseppe Motorosi. According to Francesco's official specifications, his engine is a 2.4 liter V-8, 18,500 rpm redline with 750 horsepower. This would mean that Francesco is based on an F1 car from the 2009 F1 season although concept designs show that he was originally intended to look like a 2008 F1.

After Dusty was broken and needed repairs, Sun Wing gave him new parts to fly again. She returned in the beginning of Planes: Fire and Rescue racing with her friend Dusty.
Joey Dundee is an Australian racing plane painted gold with black wings and red decals and the number 9 in yellow. Despite his almost looks like a German racer, Joey has the word "Aussie" in yellow up front and a black boomerang on his rudder. He set the fourth fastest time to qualify during the film. During the Germany-India leg, he suffered mechanical issues and was one of many racers not to complete the WATG Rally. He is a custom built plane with Extra EA-300 wings and a Cessna 402 chassis (although he nearly resembles a Lancair 360). He returned in the sequel in the lead in one of the races against Fonzerelli, Kolya Ivanov and Dusty Crophopper before Dusty overtook them for the win.
Gunnar Viking is a yellow and dark blue Caudron C.460 who represents Sweden in the Wings Around The Globe rally. Before the events of Planes, Gunnar Viking was an air ambulance from his hometown Copenhagen, Denmark before he traded his sirens for racing stripes due to his high speed performance. His livery also includes the word "Nordic" on his sides and the number 12 on his rudder and left wing, all in white. During the Germany-India leg, he was disqualified from race officials for passing the maximum height limit (although they mistook him as racer number 20). He returned in the beginning of Planes: Fire and Rescue during the races.
Little King, (voiced by Richard Pearce) is an Irish green Extra EA-300 with four leaf clover decals and the number 14 inside them. He represents Ireland in the Wing Around The Globe. During the Germany-India leg, Dusty overtakes him by performing a Radio-G pass. Since then, he became friends with him. He gave Dusty a flow control valve for him after he was damaged. He returned in the beginning of Planes: Fire and Rescue in the races with his friend Dusty.
Jan Kowalski is a dark green Zivko Edge 540 V3 with white and red squares in a checkered pattern on his wings and tailfin with the number 15 on his left wing in black. He represents Poland and was nicknamed the "Polish Prankster" from the other racers. He gave Dusty parts and said it was an honor to fly beside him. His voice actor is currently unknown. He was named after and inspired by the Polish pilot of the same name.
Miguel is a Brazilian Lancair 360 painted white with some green on his wings and tail as well as the number 16 in white. He also has the Brazilian flag and the word "Brazil" in Portuguese. He was originally an acrobatic flyer of the "Esquadrilha Da Nevoeiro" (The Fog Squadron) before the events of Planes. When El Chupacabra arrived at New York, he questions El Chu's name is the monster that siphons fuel from smaller vehicles which he replied it's a stage name designed to strike fear to his opponents. When Dusty was damaged and needed repairs, Miguel gave him a new starter generator. He was one of the few remaining planes to complete the WATG rally. He returned in the beginning of the Planes sequel racing with his friend Dusty. His voice actor is currently unknown.
Yellowbird, (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) is a yellow Extra EA-300 from Wyoming with some black checkered patterns and a couple of racing sponsors with the number 17 (on some occasions, he has the number 1) in black. He has set the fastest time in the Lincoln Qualifier to compete in the Wings Around The Globe rally. Although he didn't gave Dusty parts, he was easily impressed with his new supercharged skin Dottie and most of the WATG racers's mechanics outfitted him with the parts the planes gave him.
Kolya Ivonov is a Zivko Edge 540 representing Russia painted white with blue and red decals and the number 19 in blue. Kolya trained high in the Siberian mountains before the events of Planes so he can conquer the Himalayas in the India-Nepal leg. He gave Dusty parts to race again after he was too damaged. He was known as Andor in the film. In the Planes sequel, he was seen in third place behind Joey Dundee and Fonzerelli in one of the races before Dusty performed a Radio-G pass to pass him and the others to win.
Tsubasa, meaning Wing in Japanese, is a Japanese racing plane painted dark blue with black wings, landing gear, and red circle and white wavey decals aa well as his number 23. He is a custom built plane with elements of an Extra-EA 300 for his body and the tail of a Granville R-1 (a Gee Bee model). He is known as the Ninja because no one sees him coming! His propeller has brush like edges powered by a silenced engine which reroutes his exhaust to his muffler. He set the second fastest in the Qualifier with only a hundredth of a second off Yellowbird. He gave Dusty parts after he was too damaged to compete in the last leg of the WATG rally. He was one of few remaining planes to succeed in the Rally. Tsubasa returned in the beginning of Planes: Fire and Rescue racing with his friend, Dusty.
Van Der Bird is a dark orange Pitts Special S1-S with some red and white decals on his wings and body who represents the Netherlands in the WATG. His racing number is 55. This Dutch is a legendary racing plane who countless championships since the 1920s and 1930s and always does his best to be the best. He gave his new friend Dusty new parts to race again after he was severely damaged from the storm in the Pacific. He was one of the few planes to complete the rally.
LJH 86 Special is a red, white and blue Extra EA-300 painted in the colors of the American flag with one big star and one little star on either side of his engine compartment and the number 86 in blue. His name "L "Jay" H" is also inscribed in black near his doors. He is from Pennsylvania. He attempted to qualify for the Wings Around The Globe rally but failed.

Cars (2006)

Mr. Windshield

Mr. Windshield was a character who was scrapped from the storyline around 2003. Based on concept art, he was going to be a yellow Packard Clipper, although a 2000 concept sketch by Dave Deal showed him as a Packard Super Eight rather than a Clipper. As his name implies, he was going to be an optometrist/windshield salesman, and while the character was scrapped, his shop still made it into the final film. The design was reused for Ramone's House of Body Art.

Piston Cup Racers #3, #9 and #113

These three Piston Cup racers were planned to be in the film racing in the Dinoco 400 at the Motor Speedway of the South, but there was no racer featured even if their numbers made a cameo appearance in the Cars film or the Video Game via the leaderboard tower. Currently, the number 3 is driven by Austin Dillon with Richard Childress Racing and the 9 is used by Hendrick Motorsports's Chase Elliott in the NASCAR Cup Series. The number 113 is a Pixar gag to the call sign A113 which featured by almost every Disney-Pixar film. A black racer appeared in the movie and seems to have remained unnamed.

Cars 2 (2011)

Zil

Zil was originally going to be the main antagonist in Cars 2, but was ultimately dropped in favour of Professor Z and Miles Axlerod. His design was based on the 1951 ZIS-112/1, but with one adjustment: the ZIL logo is on his front bumper.

Giulia

Giulia was an original character in the beginnings of Cars 2. She was intended to be the double agent that met up with Mater. Giulia was left out of the completed movie and replaced by Holley Shiftwell. She was modelled on an Alfa Romeo, in particular the Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider.

Agent

An unnamed agent was an original character for Cars 2. His role got rewritten and ended up replaced by Leland Turbo.
