Lightning McQueen is a fictional anthropomorphic stock car and the protagonist of the animated Pixar franchise Cars. While his bodywork is an original design inspired by many different race cars, he is certainly partly inspired by the C6.R Corvette. Lightning McQueen is modeled on Gen4 NASCAR vehicles, with elements of the Chevrolet Corvette C6.R. In the movies, he is depicted as a red race car with the number 95 and the Rust-eze logo on his doors.
