Sally Carrera is the Porsche sports car who becomes Lightning McQueen's friend in Cars.
Sally is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera and works as the attorney for Radiator Springs. She is one of the town's most knowledgeable residents and helps Lightning understand the community after he is ordered to repair its damaged main road.
Before settling in Radiator Springs, Sally describes having lived in California, where she became tired of city life and sought a quieter community. Her character provides a link between the town's history and its hope for renewed visitors.
Bonnie Hunt voices Sally in the Cars films. Sally's name combines her given name with “Carrera,” a Porsche designation derived from the Spanish word for race. The real Porsche 911 Carrera name therefore fits both her design and her role in a movie about racing and travel.
