What models are based cars from the cartoon "Cars"

“Focus! Speed! I am speed. 1 winner, 42 losers. " With these words, the rookie of the season, set to win, leaves boxing for the starting line. Jerk - and again he is the first to cross the finish line.

The animated comedy "Cars" is the story of the pompous and ambitious NASCAR racer. He is a member of the one-man theater. He doesn’t need anyone. The main thing is to rush at full strength to the finish line. He does not even need rear-view mirrors - he is so confident in himself.

That was how the main character of the cartoon, Lightning Makvin, was created. Released in 2006, the picture is still liked not only by children. Even many motorists fell in love with this cartoon. After all, all his characters are exclusively cars.

Most of the "actors" are copied from real cars. Perhaps the viewer immediately noticed the familiar features of their favorite models. Here are the cars that were taken as a model for creating the main characters of the animation.

Lightning McQueen

Looking at the main character of the cartoon, one cannot say for sure which machine inspired the animators to give Lightning such an appearance. Rather, the rider is a collective image. Indeed, in the world there is no perfect car. Each model has its own unique characteristics.

Outwardly, the makvin resembles a hybrid from the Chevrolet Corvette and Dodge Viper. It is not surprising that the authors of the picture decided to take these machines. Indeed, in addition to power, they also show a wayward "character". RWD sports cars in the hands of an inexperienced driver are like a wild horse. Both models accelerate to 274 and 306 kilometers per hour. And the "heart beats" at 345 and 517 horsepower.

Such power is difficult to tame. That is why Lightning needed training. And, of course, in friends. After all, in racing, the main thing is not speed, but the character and ability to control yourself.

Maitre

In Radiator Springs, by chance, the driver was forced to meet the fidget Metr. A rusty but hardy tow truck constantly got into funny changes. This slightly scattered character turned out to be a reliable friend who can get out of any trouble. After all, he is a tow truck.

Unlike the previous hero, Mater was copied from a specific model. This is an American truck Harvester with a winch on the back.

By the way, it was not in vain that Mater scared a tractor of bizarre forms. International Harvester produced exactly such “three-wheeled” models. They were used in the fields to process corn and cotton.

However, experts in the American automobile industry could find some similarities between the “fidget” and the Chevrolet 3800 truck. They are especially similar in the form of a cabin.

Doc hudson

Restrained, measured, wise life experience. He is not in a hurry. Doc Hudson seems to balance the balance between the nimble and leisurely cars of a forgotten town.

It turned out this, at first glance, awkward and old car has an amazing story. And she is connected with racing. And not only in the cartoon.

Hudson Hornet models were produced from 1951 to 1954. American full-size models have repeatedly participated in NASCAR races of the first half of the 50s. 1952 - 24 wins out of 37 races. 1953 - 22 of 37 - 1954 out of 17. Among the serial cars of that era, such results are really impressive. Especially when you consider that in the engine compartment of the cars there was not a V-37, but a straight six for 8 horsepower.

It’s not surprising that screenwriters chose this particular car as a mentor for Lightning

Sally

The elegant and sporty 911 Porsche 2002 is the perfect sitter for the next cartoon character.

Sally was tired of the busy life of the metropolis and moved to the calm Radiator Springs. Everything seemed to stop in him - even time. And only the prankster Mater violated this calm with his fun with tractors.

The authors of the picture accurately conveyed not only the external features of the car. The "character" of the German sports car is perfectly conveyed by the character. The model ideally combines comfort for a romantic trip and sports habits. It allows you to diversify the boring rhythm of a small town with a speedy race along a road strewn with leaves.

Luigi

The Italian subcompact Fiat-500 most likely inspired the cartoonists to create a tire shop owner. A small yellow car that sleeps and sees only a Ferrari.

Since the model was created in the post-war period, it is devoid of all sports data. It is not surprising that Luigi can only supply the young motorsport star with tires. But winning NASCAR depends on them.

As you can see, the scriptwriters and animators not only tried to convey the external features of the cars, on the basis of which the heroes were created. The behavior and inner world of the "actors" reflect the "character" of their real-world prototypes.

Questions and answers:
