What is Sally Carrera’s car manufacturer in Pixar’s Cars?

Sally Carrera is a Porsche in Pixar’s Cars.

She is modeled as a blue 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera, specifically from the 996 generation. Sally works as the attorney for Radiator Springs and becomes one of Lightning McQueen’s most important guides after he is stranded in the town.

Her character helps explain the town’s history and its connection to Route 66. Sally once lived in California but left the city after becoming dissatisfied with her stressful life there. She later found a more meaningful community in Radiator Springs and helped campaign to preserve the town.

The name Carrera is a Porsche reference: Carrera is used in the names of several Porsche models and comes from the Carrera Panamericana road race. Sally is sometimes mistakenly described as a generic sports car or as a Volkswagen because both brands belong to the wider Volkswagen Group, but her character is specifically a Porsche 911 Carrera.
