American cars really aren't my strong point so after some research, I unearthed some interesting information to uncover the identity of the now iconic red racing car.
The first thing to clear up is that he's obviously a stock car. That conclusion doesn't take a genius considering they race exclusively around ovals. And that short-track rear spoiler, the huge NASCAR-style wheels and the striking lightning bolt livery all scream stock car racing.
We took the best of our favourite things, from GT40s to Chargers… just sketching them out, we came up with what McQueen looks like". The director and writer of the film, John Lasseter, has also stated that although they wanted to have McQueen as a true stock car, they were found to be a bit boring, saying "Due to aerodynamics, the shape of NASCAR cars is relatively flat and not very interesting". Bringing some relevance to some iconic cars into the mix, the guys at Pixar decided to inject the design "with some Lola and some GT40".

He loves going fast, getting stuff done, and being the center of attention!
