Why is Lightning McGroomer not behind bars 🤨

[Watermalone]

Yall I think Lighting McQueen might be based off, get this, a fucking NASCAR…

Edit: I do not care what anyone of you say, he’s a NASCAR stock car, cry bout it.

Officially McQueen is a 2006 Custom Built Piston Cup Stock Car. Influences C6 Corvette, GT40, Lola T70, and Porsche 911

[chopp]

Lighting McQueen is a mix of cars. While being mix with nascar and a stock car. The rounded front end come from a lola t70 and c1 corvette, the main body coming from a c6 (look at A pillar) while the roof line is a Porsche 911 and the back from a ford gt40. So basically lighting McQueen was built not bought😂

[mooneveryday]

The CREATOR said mcqueen is MAINLY a corvette blended with other cars.Why are u guys arguing about Nascar still 😂. IF THE CREATOR SAYS HES A CORVETTE HES A CORVETTE

[MJYdrives]

I refuse to believe McQueen is a BRZ from 2006 💀

[THEOFFICIALRVB]

Y’all ever think abt how McQueen was around way before the BRZ, and still everyone says that’s what he is… I see him as a viper or a C6, or even a Ford GT, maybe even a Camaro, but a

Apparently, the animators at Pixar drew influences from many sources to create McQueen’s final design. However, the two major car models he is based on are – the Chevrolet Corvette C1 (produced between 1953-1962) and the Chevrolet Corvette C6 (produced between 2004-2013).

Lightning McQueen from Cars is not based on any particular type of vehicle, but rather on the Chevrolet Corvette C1 and C6 models produced between 1953-1962 and 2004-2013, respectively.1

It's actually a Corvette C6, Dodge Viper SR 2

This is the most disrespectful thing I’ve seen in a while 😂

McQueen eating beans:

[GodesXsports]

The kids hugging sally are so adorable ❤

[inflaminator]

At the Newport auto museum they told me he was based on a corvette

[outlawm]

mcqueen is literally just a nascar with a body kit. they say that in the directors cut. he is not a god damn corvette.

Welp, that is just a real life MODEL REPRESENTATION, not Lightning himself. For Lightning himself, the creators stated that they combined elements of American Sports Cars like Corvette C5 and C6, Dodge Vipers into a Gen 4 and Gen 5 NASCAR although they might also had utilized some design elements of 1990s and 2000s Japanese Sports Cars like 2nd generation Toyota MR2 and Mazda RX-7 FD.

And BTW, Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S didn't come out until 2013, and their early concepts were unveiled during 2010, which were way before Cars movie was that released in 2006

Imagine if lightning came to life and said: “Why Are You Screaming?”

[jacobrollo]

Mcqueen wasnt any specific car😂 he was literally like a bunch of cars mashed into one

[Neilmobile]

Pixar somehow based McQueen off a car first released in 2012 on a movie that was released in 2006😂

[mr.dragonhammer]

Back in 2005, a year before cars was released, Chevrolet teamed up with Pixar to help design the main character, Lighting McQueen, after a 2005 custom built performance Z06 Corvette, with miner body changes due to him supposedly being a mesh, or fiberglass body, with squared off tail light stickers, reasons unknown for that, and a shorter wheel base for less weight, a custom spoiler for draft and aerodynamic tweaks, and other modifications.
