The yellow car you’re probably thinking of is Cruz Ramirez , and she appears in Cars 3. There isn’t an official “yellow Lightning McQueen” movie character, just that yellow racer from the same franchise.

Quick Scoop

  • Movie: Cars 3.
  • Character: Cruz Ramirez, the yellow trainer/racer.
  • Why the confusion: She races with Lightning McQueen’s number 95 in the big Florida 500 finish, which makes people mix them up.

If you meant the first Cars movie or another yellow car from the franchise, that would be a different character from Lightning McQueen himself.
