Meet the Cast of Cars 3: Lightning McQueen, Fabulous Hudson Hornet, New Generation Racers & More

In the vibrant world of "Cars 3," we are introduced to a dynamic cast of characters that bring this animated film to life. The charismatic Owen Wilson lends his voice to the legendary Lightning McQueen, a hotshot racecar who has dominated the track for years. Alongside him, the talented Cristela Alonzo voices Cruz Ramirez, an enthusiastic and ambitious race technician who is eager to make her mark in the sport.

Lightning McQueen's world is turned upside down when a speedy new generation of race cars, armed with cutting-edge technology and breakneck speeds, overtake the track. With his career unexpectedly displaced, Lightning must grapple with the reality that the sport he has long-cherished may be slipping away. But McQueen, driven and determined, refuses to let his career crash and burn without a fight. He enlists the help of Cruz Ramirez, who brings her passion for innovation, speed, and a unique understanding of the new generation of racers.

Together, with a bit of inspiration from the late racing icon Fabulous Hudson Hornet, McQueen and Cruz set out on a mission to get their champion back in the game. As their journey unfolds, they encounter unexpected twists that test their resolve and ignite their fierce competitive spirit. In a world where speed is the currency, McQueen and his unlikely ally must prove that passion, skill, and resilience always triumph on Piston Cup Racing’s grandest stage. In true underdog fashion, "Cars 3" demonstrates that it's never too late for a comeback, as long as you have the heart of a champion.

Cars 3 is part of the Cars Collection.
