Guido is the Italian forklift who works at Luigi’s tire shop in Pixar’s Cars.
Guido is Luigi’s assistant and close friend in Radiator Springs. He speaks mostly Italian and is famous for his extraordinary pit-stop speed. During the film’s climax, Guido helps Lightning McQueen by changing his tires rapidly during the final Piston Cup race.
Guido and Luigi operate Casa Della Tires, a shop decorated around Luigi’s passion for Italian racing and Ferrari. Their partnership gives the town a distinct cultural identity and adds a recurring comic relationship to the story.
Guido’s name is sometimes confused with Luigi’s because the two characters are almost always together. Luigi is the yellow Fiat 500 who owns the shop, while Guido is the small blue forklift who assists him. Guido appears in the later Cars films and in related shorts and attractions.
