Lightning McQueen: I'm faster than fast, quicker than quick! I am Lightning!
Mack: [pounds on his trailer door] Hey Lightning, are you ready?
Lightning McQueen: [Real Gone plays as the trailer door opens] Oh, yeah. Lightning's ready.
[McQueen revs his engine, and his different body parts are shown as he drives slowly out of the trailer with his face visible. He then revs his engine again as the crowd cheer. The camera then shows the audience on the stadium seats, then an aerial view of the Motor Speedway of the South circuit, then a cameraman aiming a camera at the circuit. The camera then shows McQueen on the television screen on the scoring pylon. Then the camera shows the circuit from as high as the audience seats, and zooms in on McQueen]
Lightning McQueen: Ka-chow!
[The camera then shows the race, Shows "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" text as it shows the cars zooming and whooshing along then it shows "A Pixar Animation Studios Film" text as the blue wheel runs.]
Then it shows "CARS" text.
[McQueen then overtakes six cars. He then gets blocked by two cars named Floyd Mulvihill and Rusty Cornfuel, and rides his right wheels on the wall to overtake the two cars. The camera then shows McQueen on the television screen on top of the scoring pylon as he winks, Mia and Tia screams, the camera then shows the audience cheering, then it skips to a truck named Brian selling some souvenirs]
Brian: Get your antenna balls here!
[The camera then shows the racers whooshing along, then it shows some RVs, the camera zooms in on two RVs named Larry and R.M., who are cheering]
Doug R.M.: You got that right, Slick. [whistles]
[Then the camera shows some of the racers in the pits as the air wrenches are heard whirring. It goes to different racers as they have their pit stops, and ends with one of the racers exiting back onto the track. The camera shows some people going into the toilets, as there is a long queue for the women. Then it shows in the crowd an RV named Elvis, who is dancing to Real Gone, the camera then shows Chick Hicks as he purposely hits a racer named Lee Revkins off the track, Lee Revkins grunts, and screams, slides away, the camera shows The King overtaking Chick, and he drives away revving his engine]
Bob Cutlass: [Then the camera shows Bob Cutlass and Darrell Cartrip, car versions of Bob Costas and Darrell Waltrip, announcing the race] Welcome back to the Dinoco 400, I'm Bob Cutlass, here with my good friend, Darrell Cartrip, we're midway through what may turn out to be a historic day for racing.
Darrell Cartrip: Bob, my oil pressure's through the roof right now. If this gets anymore exciting, they're gonna have to tow me outta the booth!
Bob Cutlass: Right you are, Darrell. Three cars are tied for the season points lead, heading into the final race of the season. And the winner of this race Darrell, will win the season title and, the Piston Cup. Does The King, Strip Weathers, have one more victory in him before retirement?
Darrell Cartrip: He's been Dinoco's golden boy for years! Can he win them one last Piston Cup?
Bob Cutlass: And, as always, in the second place spot we find Chick Hicks. He's been chasing that tailfin his entire career.
Darrell Cartrip: Chick thought this was his year, Bob. His chance to finally emerge from The King's shadow. But the last thing he expected was... Lightning McQueen!
Bob Cutlass: You know, I don't think anybody expected this. The rookie sensation come into the season unknown. But everyone knows him now.
Darrell Cartrip: Will he be the first rookie to win a Piston Cup and land Dinoco?
Bob Cutlass: The legend, the runner up, and the rookie! Three cars, one champion!
[The camera then shows the racers. Chick is trying to overtake Strip Weathers, who was blocking his way. McQueen then catches up to Chick as they try to get ahead of one another]
Chick: No, you don't. [McQueen then moves to the left and finally overtakes Chick's, McQueen chuckles, Chick then gains on McQueen as Real Gone ends. Chick Hicks then bumps McQueen, causing him to slide off the track onto the infield. The crowd is heard booing to what had happened.]
Fans: Oohh. What a ride!
Chick Hicks: [laughs]
Fans: Go get 'em, McQueen! Go get 'em! We love you, Lightning! [whistles, McQueen then drives back on the track, behind all of the other racers. Chick then looks back to see McQueen far behind him.]
Chick Hicks: Dinoco is all mine. [bumps Winford, slides into the wall, and collides with all of the other racers]
Darrell Cartrip: Trouble, turn-3!

[@viksinha5410]

1:20 That car looked stunned when McQueen went past him

[@jane_22k]

The legend, the runner-up, and the rookie! Three cars, one champion!⚡⚡

[@_Rulezz]

the intro had no business being this hard🔥🔥

[@sran438]

3:29 McQueen is so badass here.

[@chechenz5868]

2:30 Dinoco, Chick and McQueen have brought out 120% of their potential

[@dereduress9958]

And now, all 3 racers have brought out 120% of their potential

[@CR7_THEGOAT777]

Chick sucks

[@pcrs1631]

This here is pure *Cinema*

[@Boyyyyy8866]

Absolute hardest opening scene of all time no questions asked🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@kaitheguy3572]

This will never get old.

[@jasonbuilt2last]

Quite possibly, The greatest opening for a Disney Pixar movie…Ever!

[@DubzBoyz30214]

Toy Story 2?

[@Yo1chii]

3:04 this engine sound of McQueen gives me chills idk why

[@NASCARCHAT24]

Look up a Nascar Stock Car engine. They are the same thing. (Actually look up the 2006 nascar stock cars)

[@bighand1530]

[@NASCARCHAT24]

i told them to look up 2000's nascar stock cars.@@bighand1530

[@Jack_myers992]

Same

[@w44st]

3:26 tho it gives me fucking goosebumps

[@almighty5839]

Came out a year after I was born grew up watching this, honestly sad we will never get movies or experience these gems for the first time ever again

[@wheelbarrow23]

I absolutely love Darrell's energy, literally feels like he's commentating Fr.

[@kadenplays573]

Man, they just don’t make movies like they used to. These were the glory days.

[@DaVionWright-xx6bb]

The way how they use NASCAR in the intro was great!

[@josephpeoples2621]

Hearing McQueen's engine on surround sound is the best thing to ever hear

[@estebanguerra2573]

I rewatched this yesterday and for its time, the car noises are incredible. I mean come on this is peak Pixar. Similar to Ratatouille, Incredibles, this movie is aging very well

[@christianloubardias6375]

When I was little, I loved Cars. I had a Lightning McQueen backpack, runners, sunglasses, bed tent, and baseball cap

[@ProTroll12]

As a gen Z, one of the things im most thankful for is watching this scene in the movie theatre in 2006.

[@LaikaTheG]

I think something people never touch on is the little Motorsports details this movie throws in. The King is a Dodge Daytona, they brought Dal Earnhart Jr for a cameo, they chose Paul Newman (a retired NASCAR driver) to voice Doc, they cameo in Mario Andretti, the only American to win a f1 championship and a retired NASCAR driver, and Michael Schumacher, an f1 legend. They even got Lewis Hamilton in the second and third movie as his own car in the second and as Cruz’s assistant (English dub). Finally, to top it off, they had Sebastian vetted do the German dub of Cruz’s assistant and Fernando Alonso as the Italian version.

[@dimitriskampas305]

I wish I could see the whole movie in that crisp 4k

[@mapolo9500]

They don’t make movies like this anymore.

[@KeckyCZECH]

I was a 12-year-old kid, and I went to the cinema with my younger brother and older cousin. This was one of the things that influenced my life to love cars, this iconic scene captivated me incredibly as a kid, now I'm 30 and I could still watch it like the little kid I used to be.

[@superyoshibrosjgplush7671]

Shrek, Madagascar, Pixar's Cars, Open Season, Ice Age, and Kung Fu Panda are some awesome CGI animated Gen Z franchises that I grew up with during my childhood as a kid. This iconic opening scene with Lightning McQueen coming out of Mack's trailer, and Real Gone from Sheryl Crow playing is so nostalgic.😌😎

[@HackerMan203]

Every other Disney and Pixar movie intro: *slow and steady* Cars and Planes:we don't do that here.

[@princessnatasha21]

You know you lived a great childhood when you quote this movie word for word

[@I_love_pugs567]

“The legend the runner up and the rookie 3 cars one champion” and “no tires me just gas” still stick with me

[@Laylavizible]

I didn’t come All this way to see you quit

[@datonebro]

This scene is too good that I barely noticed the 60fps

[@samuelmathias2650]

I blame this opening scene for my love of sports cars🔥

[@J4CK50N.]

“Go get em McQueen! Go get em!” Best line ever.

[@MariaHeredia-dw4id]

As a kid who was always around cars and huge nascar fan this intro is LEGENDARY!

[@VideoEditor-c3j]

0:16 Wow! 🤩 🔥💯

[@orangecrushgaming7399]

Kids today will never know how awesome this movie was when it first came out in the movie theater

[@Redcrewmate1296]

This takes me back when I was a child ❤

[@byza.rl_09]

0:45 where it begins

[@Carguy2000-f8p]

This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. I’m now 24 and I still get a big smile on my face when I hear the roaring of his engine at the beginning.

[@Xozetey]

I feel bad for anyone who didn’t experience this masterpiece for the first time. 😔

[@Gufupandi09th13]

I don't I got to see it and my family back in 2006

[@AlexanderWhalen-d4d]

Still getting goosebumps 18 years later, what a film
