Sally Carrera to meet Lightning McQueen at Rennsport Reunion

Porsche has announced that Sally Carrera is set to meet its on-screen companion, Lightning McQueen, at the Rennsport Reunion 7 at Laguna Seca come 28 September 2023.

Sally Carrera and Lightning McQueen currently reside in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart and the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles respectively. However, both museums have agreed to bring them together after the cars have spent more than a decade apart. The two cars are said to have often travelled together to celebrate key moments as new iterations of the Cars animated film series were launched.

Both Jay Ward, Creative Director of Franchise of Pixar Animation Studios, and Bob Pauley, Production Designer for the movie Cars (who originally designed Sally over 20 years ago) will be attending the Rennsport Reunion 7.

Porsche states that the 2022 Sally Special will also be on display at the event. The one-off 911 comes equipped with numerous touches inspired by the animated character and was created in collaboration with Pixar. Sold at auction, the 2022 Sally Special raised money for two charities: Girls Inc. and the UNHCR to support educational support to young girls across America and bring aid to children and families of the war in Ukraine respectively.
