Disney Pixar CARS 2: Lightning, Mater & Finn Will Do 30-City US Tour & They’re “Green”
Autoweek reports that there will be a 30-city US CARS 2 tour with an electric motored Mater, Lightning & Finn … custom created by a company called TFX. There will be 8 Lightning McQueens, 6 Finn McMissiles & 5 Mater’s.
Then they will tour Russia, Japan, Europe, Mexico and Latin America (probably Brazil & Argentina).
So maybe in 20 months, Disney-Pixar might consider themselves overstocked on them 1:1 scale CARS and might just toss them on eBay. 😉

Because the inclimate climate, I think the Super Bowl appearance was canceled. This article was written in early February.
There is a Mack tour going in Australia right now.

Stig Jr. already met Lightning and Mater at WDW in 2007, but it would be cool to see them again with Finn McMissile!
I seem to recall, though, that the Lightning and Mater we met were electric back then. They certainly “drove” away under their own power, though the engine sounds were obviously “dubbed.”
Isn’t there also a 1:1 scale Doc Hudson, built from molds pulled from a real Hudson Hornet and built on a NASCAR chassis?
We JUST missed the Mack, Lightning, and Sally tour in July 2006, so maybe this time we’ll know in advance — thanks Met!!
I hope they come close enough to Indiana for me to see them… sounds like good use of vacation days to me!
I hope they come down to Florida!! 🙂
