[@GB12trackstar]

According to the Meet the Cars book Rip is part of the Formula 6000 series which is a fictional series.

[@GB12trackstar]

@harrisonkelly-kj7kf While he does look nearly similar to one, Rip is a 2005 Formula 6000 Racer which is an in-house design. Similar to Lightning McQueen, Jackson Storm or Mater, he is not based on one particular model, but rather draws inspiration from more than one car. The engine types of the racers are normally related to the racing cars from the discipline they're based off of. Rip's engine is a 3.5-liter DOHC V8 with 650 hp, an engine commonly seen in IndyCars from 2003 to 2011. From an older concept design of the racers, he was supposed to look like an Indy which means that while he has influence from cars like the Hulme F1 and Caparo T1, his actual basis is a late 2000's IndyCar, specifically a Dallara IR-05. This would be true because the racers are meant to represent popular racing series and IndyCar is one of many. The model year of the characters, specifically the WGP Racers, also have some connection to the car they're based on. For example Raoul is a 2006 Global Rally Car Racer, a Pixar in-house design based on the Citroen C4 WRC. The year 2006 was when the Citroen C4 WRC was introduced at some Paris Motor Show. Lewis Hamilton is a 2009 Grand Touring Sports Special GBG, an in-house design based on a special prototype model of the McLaren MP4 12C. 2009 was the year that this car was first unveiled and a special prototype model was made available from 2009 to 2010. Shu Todoroki is a 2006 Le Motor Prototype J8 which is based on Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. 2006 was when Peugeot 908 HDi FAP was first introduced. Carla Veloso is a 2009 Le Motor Prototype B12, an in-house design based on the Drayson Lola B09/60 Judd. 2009 was the year this car first came out. The B12 name she gets is from the Lola Drayson B12/69 EV, an electric racecar based on the B09/60 Judd.

[@GB12trackstar]

@harrisonkelly-kj7kf I respect your opinion but that car came out in 2008 and wasn't really notable prototype since it was only seen at two events at the time Cars 2 was in development. If Shu was based on the car he would be a 2008 car and not a 2006 car. I looked at his model further and Shu has elements of the 908 design. I think it's the little details that people missed.Try looking up the 2008 Peugeot 908 HY on Ultimate car page, look in the image gallery. Look at the pictures where on is the top side of the car and one that shows the side of the car full on. Then look up Shu Todoroki 3d model by GT1Racer7 on Sketch fab. When you do go into the model inspector and turn on Mat cap so you're only looking at the model and it's details. If you look closely, the roof design and the generic shape of the car will look like that of the 908 racer.

Interestingly, few cars got their names changed in the polish iteration of the film. Polish dubbing is known for improving movies and changing up a bit dialogues to suit more Polish market and making them funnier for a wider audience. Often times their work is genius and provides multi-layered spectacle. • Sean McMission - rather than originally Finn McMissile. And imo IT'S GENIUS, and the original version should use this name of a car. Becouse it better refers to agent 007, and pays tribute to Sean Connery, who is iconic to James Bond series. •Nigel Spyder •Raoul Farafura - fura is colloquially car, •Francesco Paltegumi - "pal te gumi" can be interpreted as "burn those rubber/tires". • Carla Turbinha - "turbin(h)a meaning turbine • ziu Takakita - ???

I have a theory on Cars over that "Mazda..." (who currently appears to be a Nissan Fairlady) ...that appears that cars could change their bodies.

Another example is that as a racer retires, they change their body from a race car to a normal road car. Sorry if I can't explain pretty well.

Shu Todoroki is actually more of a mix of multiple LMP cars. The overall shape is loosely based on the Peugeot 908, the wing is similar to that of the Toyota TS010, the diffuser is apparently similar to the BMW V12 LMR, and the engine is most similar to the Lola Aston Martin B09/60 which is a 6.0L NA V12 that makes about 650hp.

Jeff Gorvette was voiced by Jeff Gordon the former cup series driver following the events of Cars 3 Jeff counts on McQueen to win for all of the former racers.

I prefer cars like Raul. Small engines can be just as fast as big ones; and that's often a good thing because they're a lot lighter. A turbocharged inline 4 plus all wheel drive just sounds AWESOME!

bcs it is awesome

[@foreignPlatypus-w1j]

Although it's often believed that Shu Todoroki is based on the Toyota GT-One (TS020), the basis of the WGP Racers' model designs are based on cars seen around the late 2000's, specifically cars that were around at the time of Cars 2's development (2008 to 2010). The GT-One, however, was a older sports prototype racecar that only competed in endurance races from 1998 to 1999, as well as only competing in two classes: GT1 and GTP (Grand Touring Prototype). Shu was referred to as an LMP in his concept art which is a different class from GTP.

According to the Pixar Wiki, Rip base was an Indycar. He features a 3.5-liter DOHC V8 with 650 HP, an engine typically used by Indy Cars from 2003-2011. An older concept design of the WGP Racers showed one of the competitors was an Indy so Rip is most likely part of the IRL series.

[@harshith27-zy4ky]

Miguel Camino (IMHO) is a Honda HSV-010 GT used in Super GT or he could be a Corvette like Jeff or the Lexus LFA Prototype that was used from 2008-2010 to compete at the Nürburgring 24 Hours

[@SectorOne350]

[@Snowfang00]

I have to pick about Franchesco’s 0-60 time being only 2.5 seconds. It actually takes a long time for F1 cars to get up to speed. To the point where a human could outrun one for the first 10 metres. That’s why all F1 races are from rolling starts instead of at a starting line.

[@JoseAguilar-bf1ik]

Bro… all f1 races have standing starts. 0-100 kph in 2.5 and 0-200kph in 5. They only do rolling starts when there is a safety car. F1 cars are literally the fastest ground vehicles on earth. There is no car that can match them. The amount of downforce they create is huge.

The unknown country is India, it has to be. The car boats Orange and Green Colour which is a part of India's Flag as well. Rearendia also syncs with India. Also India is an underdog in the Racing Community. 🇮🇳 Also India is a recent colony of British and is an independent country now !!!

[@GB12trackstar]

I respect your opinion, but New Rearendia is a made up country. They probably did this because Rip originally died during the first race. However, the story was revised and he only suffered an engine blowout. Since he is a 2005 Formula 6000 Racer, which is based on Hulme F1 and Caparo T1, he could represent New Zealand. However India could be possible.

[@leahryan5560]

I looked it up and according to several Cars fandom wiki pages, it’s actually a Scandinavian country. However, one page said that it was a British colony and another said that it was part of Sweden or Finland. A couple of sources said that it became independent in the early 1900s rather than the early 2010s. It’s all somewhat inconsistent.

You know, if they hadn't added in the whole mater spy business, i think this movie would've been great. McQueen going up against the best racers in the entire world, but just before the big race he learns of Doc's passing. As he sits alone, he remembers something that Doc once told him (that something being said between cars 1 and 2) and gives him the motivation to get out there for the final race, it'd be glorious.

For those of you that don't know, The Flying Scotsman was the first of the LNER A3 Pacific steam engines. It was the fastest land vehicle in the world at its time and the first one ever to surpass 100 miles per hour. Despite its name, the Flying Scotsman actually hails from England as does its manufacturer, LNER. The Flying Scotsman also exists in the Thomas the Tank Engine Series, and is the same engine type as Gordon, with some cosmetic changes of course.
