As McQueen takes on the role of Cruz Ramirez's crew chief, he undergoes a complete transformation, including a fresh paint job that pays homage to the iconic Fabulous Hudson Hornet. His vibrant new look features a striking shade of blue, accentuated by the presence of four bold yellow "95" numbers on his roof and a matching one on his rear fenders. The familiar old Rust-eze wordmarks on his hood and spoiler have made way for a new design, with the lightning bolts being replaced.

In a truly captivating detail, his doors now proudly showcase the inscription "Fabulous Lightning McQueen," a nod to his deep appreciation for the legacy of the Fabulous Hudson Hornet. The emblem of the Hudson Hornet takes center stage on the rear, supplanting the Rust-eze logo that once adorned that spot. Adding a touch of poignant sentiment, his rear bumper now carries the heartfelt message "95 For Doc Hudson," a tribute that resonates with the profound impact his mentor had on his journey.
