Jackson Storm is the advanced racing car who challenges Lightning McQueen in Pixar's Cars 3.
Storm represents a new generation of highly engineered racers. His sleek design, modern training methods, and strong early results make him a symbol of the technological and competitive changes confronting McQueen.
The conflict is not simply about one race. McQueen must decide whether to retire, adapt, or find a new way to compete. Cruz Ramirez becomes an important part of that process after initially serving as his trainer.
Jackson Storm is voiced by Armie Hammer. He is distinct from Chick Hicks, McQueen's aggressive rival in the first Cars, and Francesco Bernoulli, a Formula-style competitor in Cars 2.
