No detail was unimportant, and to that end the animation team used computer models similar to those used for real-life automobiles. Lightning McQueen was certainly a powerful car, and it took powerful computers to bring him to life…so powerful in fact that they were 1,000 times faster than those used in Toy Story. In a nod to NASCAR tradition, Lightning McQueen sports a yellow “rookie stripe” on his rear bumper during his first Piston Cup race. And what is the make of those beautiful whitewalls? Why, Fettuccini Alfredo, which of course is also the name of the delicious white sauce beloved in Italian cuisine.
LIGHTNING MCQUEEN UPGRADE
Lightning’s tires get an upgrade during his stay in Radiator Springs thanks to Guido and Luigi. Incidentally, if you look closely you can see the Lightyear Blimp floating in the sky during the film’s race scenes! A reference to Buzz Lightyear? Of course, though the name is also a sly reference to the real Goodyear “Eagle” tires used in NASCAR. The Wheels on the Ground Go Round and Round…Ī fast car needs fast wheels! The tires that Lightning uses are Buzzard models manufactured by Lightyear. Incidentally, 95 represents the year that Toy Story, Pixar’s first feature film, was released. His number was originally 57, which is the year director John Lasseter was born. You probably know that Lightning McQueen’s number is 95, but it wasn’t always going to be that. He went on to win four consecutive Piston Cups, from 2007 to 2010.Īnd what did he do with that first trophy once he had won? Put it on display in his trophy room? No, he decided to pay homage to his mentor and friend, Doc Hudson, and left the Cup in Doc’s clinic alongside the Hudson Hornet’s own three Piston Cups.
LIGHTNING MCQUEEN MOVIE
Lightning may have passed up his chance for a Piston Cup in the movie Cars, but don’t feel badly for him. However, Lightning was actually named after Pixar animator Glenn McQueen who sadly passed away in 2002. It would make sense, as McQueen was an on-screen costar of Paul Newman’s (who of course provided the voice of Doc Hudson), and he was also an avid race car enthusiast. Suspendisse faucibus interdum posuere lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur.Old-time movie fans might think that Lightning McQueen was named after actor Steve McQueen.
