In Pixar's Cars, which town resident is a Porsche 911 who runs the local motel?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars, Sally Carrera is the Porsche 911 who runs the Cozy Cone Motel in Radiator Springs.

Sally is the town's attorney and one of its most active advocates. She left a fast-paced life in California before settling in Radiator Springs, where she helps protect the town's history and supports its revival after McQueen's arrival.

Her name is a pun on “Carrera,” a designation used by Porsche for performance-oriented models. The film identifies her as a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera, making her one of the franchise's clearest real-world vehicle references.

Sally is sometimes confused with Flo, who runs Flo's V8 Cafe, or Lizzie, the elderly owner of Radiator Springs Curios. Holley Shiftwell belongs primarily to Cars 2 and is a British spy, not the Porsche who manages the motel.
