He owns a Racing Academy Team with Doc Hudson called the "Doc Hudson Racing Academy" (now it is known as the "Lightning McQueen Racing Academy" after Doc's sudden passing) where he trains rookie racers in the act of speed and good sportsmanship. Together with his friends, Cruz Ramirez and Tow Mater, Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy is a popular racing school in the world of Cars. Throughout his career, he hasn't suffered a DNF, until the third film, when he crashed out in the form of a horrific rollover in an effort to close the gap to Jackson Storm, his high tech next generation rival.

He won three consecutive Piston Cups in 1951, 1952 and 1953 as a racer known as The Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and still held the record for the most wins in a single racing season with Smokey as his crew chief, corresponding to the first three of the real-life Hornet's production years.

1949 Mercury Eight coupe

The Sheriff (voiced by Michael Wallis) is a 1949 Mercury Eight Police Cruiser police car,. Sheriff is painted in the classic law enforcement black and white with a single red light dome, two sirens, and curb feelers.

Sheriff reappears in Cars 2, seeing Lightning and his race crew off to the World Grand Prix. During the climax of the film, Sheriff arrives with the other Radiator Springs residents as new members of McQueen's pit crew in England, and is informed by Mater of the Lemons cars' plot to kill McQueen in order to turn all vehicles in the world against alternate energy and rely on gasoline for profit.

Other race cars

"Junior" #8

Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s #8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo during a pit stop at Bristol Motor Speedway in 2006

Dale Earnhardt Jr., often referred to as "Junior" or "Dale Jr." (voiced by himself), is a Gen 4 Chevrolet SS stock cars that the NASCAR Cup Series used prior to 2007. He closely resembles the #8 Budweiser Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS that he drove from his Sprint Cup debut in 1999 until his departure to the team his maternal grandfather Robert Gee, Sr. started, Hendrick Motorsports, in 2008. The car's Budweiser stickers are replaced by Dale Earnhardt Inc. stickers; these stickers refer to the same change made in NASCAR games as well as toys in order to avoid alcohol advertising. Junior is seen during the first race (Dinoco 400) and is involved in the wreck caused by Chick Hicks. When McQueen goes missing, Junior tells the Competition Racing Sports Network "I sure hope that Lightning is okay. I would hate to see anything bad happen to him!". At the tie-breaker, Junior wishes The King good luck in his last race, as "you've been an inspiration to me". Junior is last seen at the Radiator Springs racing museum with The King and his wife Lynda, amazed by Doc Hudson's many season winnings during the 1950s.

Junior does not appear in the video game nor the third film, due to his sponsor not returning in both, likely because it has gone out of business. The real-life Earnhardt Jr., his sister Kelley Miller, and their uncles Robert Gee Jr. and Jimmy Gee, currently operate a second-tier NASCAR team.

A replica of the red livery, with the Hendrick #88 on a Gen 6 Holden Commodore with Hendrick's current Axalta Coating Systems sponsor decals, was used for Earnhardt's final race as a full-time Cup driver in 2017.

Cars 2

These are characters who have first or only appeared in the film Cars 2 (2011).

Secret agents and spies

Finn McMissile

Finn McMissile borrowed various design cues from 1960s sportscars, including the (from top to bottom; Peerless, Aston Martin DB5 and BMW 507

Finn McMissile (voiced by Michael Caine in the second film, Martin Jarvis in the video games) is a British secret agent who recruits Mater to help in his mission. His design is inspired by several cars: the roofline and doors of the Volvo P1800 (possibly inspired by Roger Moore's ownership of one while filming The Saint TV espionage series in the early 1960s, as Moore also portrayed Bond from 1973 to 1985), the grill and fenders of the BMW 507, and some major elements of the iconic James Bond Aston Martin DB5, debuting in Goldfinger (including its sound, as clearly heard in the intro of GoldenEye). The grille looks like a suave mustache. His license plate is 314 FMCM, which includes a reference to his initials. The number 314 indicates Caine's birthday, March 14, the same day as Billy Crystal, another actor for Pixar.

Like Bond's car, Finn has plenty of gadgets. His small tailfins were inspired by a 1958 British sports car called the Peerless—one of the few British cars with fins. Finn is fluent in many languages, most notably English, Japanese, French, and Italian. He is outfitted with a plethora of gadgets, including: two grappling hooks, a spy camera, a missile launcher, a deployable glass cutter, front wheel hub magnetic explosives launchers, deployable machine guns, surveillance probes, a miniature car called a "skate jack", an undercarriage mounted quad harpoon gun, a hydrofoil for oversea travel, a hologram generator, and a submarine-mode for underwater escapes. His belief about the World Grand Prix turns out to be true, as it was all just a setup by Miles Axlerod to make alternate fuel seem dangerous and make cars run on his own fuel with no choice.

Finn McMissile appears in Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure. It was revealed that Finn was a spy who was on the biggest oil platform in the world before he met Mater. None of them knew that Mater was not a spy. He just answered the question correctly.

Holley Shiftwell

Holley Shiftwell's design is heavily influenced by Jaguar supercars; the C-X75 and XJR-15

Holley Shiftwell (voiced by Emily Mortimer) is a British spy-in-training, and Mater's love interest. She is loosely based on the Jaguar C-X75 and Jaguar XJR-15.

Holley's name is a reference to Holley Performance Products, Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance carburetors and fuel systems located in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Her design was made from a Jaguar XJR-15. Her name is possibly also a reference to Bond Girl Holly Goodhead. Her license plate is HS1201, which includes her initials. The number 1201 is Emily Mortimer's birthday in American date order (December 1).

Holley is equipped with gadgets including: (front) projection lamps above headlights that emit a heads-up display, headlight cameras; a (side) right wheel concealed gun and an electro-shock device, a telescoping utility arm, (undercarriage) mounted dual trackball platforms for controlling the heads-up display, and retractable wings for flight.

Holley Shiftwell appears in Kinect Rush: A Disney-Pixar Adventure. She is a playable character in the Disney Infinity series.

Sir Miles Axlerod

Land Rover Discovery

Sir Miles Axlerod (voiced by Eddie Izzard) is the rival of the second film. Axlerod created the World Grand Prix to promote his new wonder-fuel, Allinol. His "alternative fuel" is actually ordinary gasoline engineered to ignite if hit with electromagnetic pulses from weapons disguised as television cameras. Sir Miles plans to use Professor Zündapp and the Lemon Cars to kill McQueen in the final race, but the EMP weapon fails to finish him off because Sarge switched McQueen's Allinol for Fillmore's organic fuel. He is based on a 2011 Land Rover Discovery and possibly on Ernst Stavro Blofeld from the James Bond films.

Professor Wolfgang Otto Zündapp

Zündapp Janus

Professor Zündapp (voiced by Thomas Kretschmann), often referred simply as Professor Z, is an internationally wanted weapon designer who is modelled after a 1958 Zündapp Janus 250 with a broken roof rack that evokes the look of a comb over. Though he initially appears to be the main antagonist, he is eventually revealed to be a secondary antagonist, and subordinate to Miles Axlerod.

Grem and Acer

Grem (voiced by Joe Mantegna) is a dented, rusty orange AMC Gremlin. Acer (voiced by Peter Jacobson) is a beat-up green AMC Pacer. Both of these "lemon" cars are henchmen for Professor Zündapp, Grem and Acer mistake Mater for an American agent with top-secret information, chasing him around the globe. Even though they don't have all the spy weapons and gadgets they are still tough and will do anything and everything to stop secret agents.
