1.Lightning McQueen
Lightning McQueen is the star of the franchise, but it is not easy to tell the vehicle he’s based on. If you cannot recognize real-life model that is hiding behind McQueen, don’t worry. Bob Pauley, one of Cars production designers, said: “We took the best of our favorite things, from GT40s to Chargers… just sketching them out, we came up with what McQueen looks like.” Even though Lightning McQueen is a combination of vehicles, the Chevrolet Corvette C6 is the most prominent.
