Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, is an anthropomorphic racecar in the animated Pixar film ''Cars'' (2006), its sequel ''Cars 2'' (2011), and TV shorts known as ''Cars Toons''. He is based on generic NASCAR vehicles, but with design influences from the Mazda Miata and Dodge Viper. Late in the original film, he is painted much like the Chevrolet Corvette C1. ==Characterization== During the initial research for the film, John Lasseter met with General Motors designers to discuss the new Corvette design but subsequent changes to the storyline left both Lightning McQueen and rival Chick Hicks as generic. In order to create a cocky but likable character for McQueen, Pixar looked at sports figures like boxer Muhammad Ali, basketball player Charles Barkley, and football quarterback Joe Namath, as well as popular musician Kid Rock. The end result is a character which, despite the usually-meticulous approach to "truth to material" in which each car's animation is mechanically consistent with its respective model's capabilities, can occasionally bend the rules to move more like an athlete than a motorcar. He is voiced by actor Owen Wilson in ''Cars'', ''Cars 2'', ''Mater and the Ghostlight'', the ''Cars'' video game and the Cars Toon ''The Radiator Springs 500 ½''. He is voiced by Keith Ferguson in most of the ''Cars Toons'', ''Cars Mater-National Championship'', and ''Cars Race-O-Rama''. In the original film, Lightning is one of the three contestants in a Piston Cup tiebreaker race before an audience of "more than two hundred thousand cars" in Los Angeles, California. It is revealed in a sequel that he won the Piston Cup from 2007-2010. Lightning McQueen appears in ''Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lightning McQueen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
