In Pixar’s Cars, the race car who becomes Lightning McQueen’s girlfriend is Sally Carrera.
Sally is a blue Porsche 911 Carrera who lives in Radiator Springs and works as the town’s attorney. She is one of the first residents to challenge McQueen’s careless attitude, especially after he damages the town’s road and is required to help repair it.
Her name combines the common first name Sally with Carrera, the Porsche model designation associated with her character. That detail can cause confusion because Sally is sometimes remembered only as McQueen’s blue companion rather than as a Porsche.
Sally remains an important figure in the franchise. In Cars 3, the Cozy Cone Motel and other Radiator Springs locations continue to connect her with the community and with McQueen’s life away from the track.
