This sporty 2002 Porsche 911 grew tired of life in the fast lane, and made a new start for herself in Radiator Springs. As the proprietor of the Cozy Cone Motel, and one of the town's most optimistic boosters, she has high hopes that it will one day return to its former glory, and wind up "back on the map." She takes an instant shine to Lightning McQueen, and helps to steer him in the right direction.
The quintessential symbol of big bucks, the sleek air-cooled Porsche 911 was launched in 1963 and continues to be a strong selling car despite prices that run nearly $100,000. The Porsche, designed by German racing buff Ferdinand Porsche, dates back to 1938. The first model to be sold to the public, the 356 in 1948, gave way to the 911, which had a stronger six-cylinder engine that became a star of the racetrack circuit. Porsche cars, including later models, dominated the Le Mans racing series for years. Sally Carrera is anything but a thrill-seeking rally racer in Cars, however. A beautiful blue Porsche who was tired of California's "fast land," Sally is a charming lawyer who wants to put the town of Radiator Springs "back on the map." On the side, she also runs the Cozy Cone Motel, which tries to lure tourists with its own unique collection of -- you guessed it -- caution-cone collectibles.
