In it, Pixar brought a 2002 Porsche 911 named Sally Carrera to life through animation. Now, with the help of Porsche, they're turning the animated character into a real-life car. The two companies are teaming up to build a real, brand-new 992 Porsche 911 styled like the beloved character.
Sally often calls Lightning McQueen "Stickers", at first because of his fake headlights and later as a friendly nickname. Her desire that McQueen stay to assist in rebuilding the town places her at odds with Doc's intransigence that "I want him out of my courtroom.
While McQueen is certainly partly inspired by the C6. R Corvette, his bodywork is an original design inspired by many different race cars, but mainly based on the Generation 4 NASCARs that made up the top level Stock Car field when the movie was released in 2006.

In later years she gained a fondness for luxury cars, owning cars like a Jaguar XJS, an Audi 80 Cabriolet and multiple BMWs including an E36 3 Series and an E39 5 Series. (She never owned a Porsche 911, though, despite its appearance in the movie Spencer.)
Based on a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, the most distinctive feature of the car is its “Sally Blue Metallic” exterior paint color, made exclusively for the one-of-one vehicle.
The Sally Carrera character from the animated Cars movie has become a real Porsche 911, selling at auction for a hammer price of $US3. 6 million ($AU5. 2 million).

Flo notices that Holley has a dent on her side, which was caused when Grem and Acer drove into her back in London.
Background. Mater's design is based on a 1955-57 Chevrolet Task Force Tow truck once used to lift equipment from mine shafts in Cherokee County, Kansas. A Cars "Rev'd Up" DVD released as a 2006 bonus in Target stores describes Mater as inspired by a 1957 Dodge truck.
Flo is simply based on a Motorama Show Girl, modeled after a 1957 GM Motorama Show Car. She is a modified 1955 Lincoln Futura with large tail fins. Her license plate reads "SHO GRL", a reference to the fact that she was a show girl before she came to Radiator Springs.
