In Cars: Mater-National Championship, Luigi and Guido are showing off their new paint jobs when Lightning and Mater drive up, asking them why they are painted like that. They get excited when Giovanni drives up, and challenges them to a race, although Guido does not compete.

This image is actually the same promotional artwork that was released of Lightning in his Cars 2 attire. Sally occasionally shows a sense of sarcasm when speaking, a trait that was particularly noticable shortly after meeting McQueen. Otherwise, Sally speaks knowledgeably, making intelligent statements.

Sally also appears in Cars Land. Her Cozy Cone Motel is a restaurant that serves cone-themed foods, like pop-cone, ice cream cones, cone on the cob, etc.. She also appears in Radiator Springs Racers. When riders arrive in Radiator Springs, she and Lightning welcome them to the race, and either tell the vehicle to go into Luigi's Casa Della Tires for a tire change, or Ramone's House of Body Art for a fresh new paint job. Could anything be more embarrassing than being splashed in the face with mud right in front of the girl of your dreams? I don't think so." [5] In Unidentified Flying Mater, Mater tells McQueen a story of how he met a UFO named Mator. However, Mator was captured by the government and studied, until Mater managed to break in and save him. When the two make their escape, Lightning joins them, but they are soon taken aboard a large UFO that is revealed to be Mator's mother. She drops them off in Radiator Springs, and Mator and his mother return home. As always, Lightning doubts this happened, but after McQueen leaves, Mater manages to fly again, just like how Mator taught him to. Guido! Why you a not-a shaking the sign? Hold the sign to point to the shop, and give it a shake so they know where to stop!" - Spinning

Luigi’s license plate reads 445-108, which is the latitude and longitude for the Ferrari factory in Modena, Italy. Fireworks: Disney Enchantment • Happily Ever After • Illuminate! A Nighttime Celebration • Together Forever: A Pixar Nighttime Spectacular • Wonderful World of Animation • World of Color: Celebrate! In Cars 2, Luigi joins Lightning's team for the World Grand Prix, travelling with him to all three races. After the race in Tokyo, Luigi and Guido are sad to hear that Mater left because he was upset. In Italy, Luigi and Guido are reunited with their family, Uncle Topolino and Mama Topolino. He is seen fighting with Guido over who gets to dance with Franca, before Francesca comes along to dance with Guido. At the race in London, Luigi helps fight the lemons by helping Guido unscrew the tires of some of the lemons.

Throughout the film, McQueen goes through fourteen different paint variants, including when he gets different amounts of dust and dirt on his bodywork. [10] On average, it took 17 hours to render each frame of the film. In addition, it was the first Pixar film to use ray-tracing to accurately create the reflections on the cars. His pit stop speed is undoubtedly inspired by F1 pit stops, which are typically sub-2 second stops. This is made more evident with he and Luigi being Ferrari fans. In Tokyo Mater, McQueen goes under the name of Lightning Dragon McQueen, a drift car that helps Mater during his race with Kabuto.Guido's guardians are supposedly Uncle Topolino and Mama Topolino, and possibly Mama Luigi as well, though it remains unconfirmed if they truly are. When Lightning questions the authenticity of this tale, Mater's former nurse, Nurse GTO, drives by the pair and greets Mater, leaving Lightning in disbelief. Pixar supervising technical director Guido Quaroni, who is a native of Monza, Italy, suggested this name to John Lasseter, and was then asked to provide the temporary voice. The director liked his voice so much it made it into the finished film. Guido even got a chance to work on the character he named and voices: in Cars, Guido Quaroni performed shading work on Guido the car! [3]

Cars: Fast as Lightning: One of Lightning's paint jobs, " Retro Look", references his appearance in Cars. This is the only Cars film, to have a VHS release (though rare), and the first to have a Blu-ray release.DJ's original die-cast depicted him with blue stripes rather than green. This was corrected in 2009, but the incorrect striping returned on his 2015 re-release. Just let him sit in the pits, give him a headset. Come on, it will be a thrill of a lifetime for him." - Cars 2 In The Radiator Springs 500½, Sally customizes herself with a 1900s look for the "Stanley Days" celebration.
