List of Cars characters
This is a list of characters from the Pixar franchise "Cars", as well as the Disney franchise "Planes", which is set in the same fictional universe:   Lightning McQueen, often referred to as "McQueen", is the main character in "Cars" and "Cars 3". He is voiced by Owen Wilson. McQueen is not modeled directly after a specific make and model, although his design contains some elements inspired by the Chevrolet Corvette C6.

Lightning McQueen
Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, is an anthropomorphic stock car in the animated Pixar film "Cars" (2006), its sequels "Cars 2" (2011), "Cars 3" (2017), and TV shorts known as "Cars Toons." The character is not named after actor and race driver Steve McQueen, but actually Pixar animator Glenn McQueen, who died in 2002. His design is inspired by a stock car and "a more curvaceous Le Mans endurance racer," with "some Lola and some Ford GT40." During the scene where he helps restore Radiator Springs to its 1950s heyday, he is painted much like a 1950's Chevrolet Corvette C1, once again hinting at his Corvette lineage.
