Sally Carrera, voiced by Bonnie Hunt, is Lightning McQueen’s romantic partner in Pixar’s Cars.
Sally is a blue Porsche who works as the attorney and motel owner of Radiator Springs. She moved away from a busy city life and chose to settle in the small town, where she became one of its strongest advocates. Her relationship with McQueen develops as he learns to appreciate the community he initially treats as an obstacle.
Bonnie Hunt supplied Sally’s voice in the Cars films and also voiced other animated characters, including Rosie in A Bug’s Life and Dolly in Toy Story 3. Sally’s role is more than a romantic one: she explains the town’s history and supports efforts to preserve its connection with Route 66.
Sally is sometimes confused with Cruz Ramirez, who becomes McQueen’s trainee in Cars 3, or Holley Shiftwell, Mater’s spy partner in Cars 2. Those characters have different roles and first appear in different parts of the franchise.
