His design is a hybrid of Generation 4 NASCAR vehicles and Le Mans endurance racers.[2] Lightning was initially arrogant and struggled with teamwork until becoming stranded in Radiator Springs on U.S. Route 66, where he learned about the importance of humility from the locals. He has since taken permanent residence there and has made the town the site of his racing headquarters. He is best friends with Mater and is Sally's boyfriend.

Mack (voiced by John Ratzenberger) is a heavily modified 1985 Mack Super-Liner sleeper cab who serves as Lightning's loyal transporter. After the Dinoco 400, Lightning convinces Mack to drive all night to the tiebreaker race in Los Angeles despite federal DOT regulations which legally grant Mack ten hours of rest.[3] Mack struggles to stay awake as a result, with an ensuing mishap causing Lightning to fall out of Mack's trailer.

After Lightning and Cruz both win the Florida 500, Cruz declines Sterling's offer to race for him and accepts Tex Dinoco instead, who purchases Rust-eze from Sterling.

Lightning overhears the exchange on his radio and exits the race to allow Cruz to take his place, giving her a chance to become a racer. Using what she learned from Lightning and Smokey, Cruz catches up to Jackson Storm. Storm is furious at the thought of a standard production car beating him in a race and rams Cruz into the wall on the final lap, but Cruz manages to evade him and wins.

In Cars, Tex refused to give Chick Hicks a Dinoco sponsorship after he intentionally caused The King to crash and offered it to McQueen instead, although McQueen respectfully declined due to his newfound respect for Rust-eze. In Cars 3, Tex purchases Rust-eze Bumper Ointment from Sterling, thus allowing Lightning McQueen to race alongside Cruz under the merged Rust-eze/Dinoco brand.

Jackson Storm

[edit]

Jackson Storm (voiced by Armie Hammer in the film,[8] AJ Hamilton in Cars 3: Driven to Win) is an arrogant "next-gen" Piston Cup race car, and Lightning's main rival in Cars 3. He accidentally breaks the record for setting the fastest lap ever recorded, at 214 miles per hour. In the film, Storm appears out of nowhere and starts winning race after race, forcing many last-generation race cars to retire. During the last race of the season, Lightning pushes himself too hard while trying to compete with Storm and loses control, resulting in a rollover crash. At the Florida 500, Storm is intimidated by Lightning's former trainer Cruz Ramirez, who replaces Lightning in the race. He attempts to make her lose focus by telling her that she is not the type of car who belongs on a racetrack. Cruz regains her confidence and drives up next to Storm, who rams her into a wall.

[edit]

Sir Miles Axlerod (voiced by Eddie Izzard) is the main antagonist of Cars 2. His design is based on the Range Rover Classic and Land Rover Defender 90, two cars famous for poor build quality. Axlerod created the World Grand Prix to promote his new biofuel called Allinol that turns out to be ordinary gasoline engineered to ignite when hit with an electromagnetic pulse. While he appears to the public as friendly, in truth he is the main leader of the Lemons conspiracy, and is shown to be very greedy and ruthless. He ultimately tries to kill both McQueen and Mater by placing a bomb on Mater that can only be deactivated by his own voice, but this ends up backfiring when Mater deduces he is the culprit and corners him, leading to him deactivating the bomb to avoid being killed by the explosion. This exposes him to the world and leads to his arrest. Axlerod planned to use Zündapp and the Lemons to kill Lightning in the final race, but the EMP weapon failed because Sarge had switched Lightning's Allinol for Fillmore's organic fuel before the start of the race, saving Lightning's life. His engine, quoted as "the worst motor ever made" in the film, is based on the Lucas fuel injected 3.5L Rover V8.

During the time when Mater was trying to get away from Lightning due to the bomb on his engine, Grem and Acer went after them only for Holley to come and making them slam into her and flying into a pub called Ye Left Turn Inn. Their crash spilled the drinks of the patrons in the bar, who promptly got angry and started to attack them, they are defeated by the patrons, Grem and Acer's fate after that is unknown.
