@@MrSamperi24 You seem to be forgetting that Lightning was set up to be the YOUNGEST ROOKIE in history to win the piston cup in the first movie Do you really think someone in their Mid Thirties would count in that scenario? Besides the pixar wiki says he was in his early or mid twenties in the first movie
95, Lightning McQueen's number, is the year Toy Story was released, pretty much putting PIXAR on the map. (Also similar to how McQueen put Radiator Springs back on the map.)
He was in his 20’s in the first cars movie as a rookie. Doc was in his fifties, and the king was in his forties. That’s why when the king says doc was his inspiration as a rookie that means that when doc was in his thirties, the king would be the rookie in his twenties. I think lightning is in his late thirties by the end of cars 3.
I think Doc was in his 70s because King is based on 1970s car....so they can't be that close in age. Moreover Doc passed away before Cars 2 so he should be pretty old
Nope He's No Longer In His Prime Anymore When a Sports Athletic Is In Their Prime It's when They are A Teen Or 20s-36 and McQueen Is 29 in 2006 and 34 in 2011 and 40 in 2017

@azametturan9843 Well, it you really think about it, in the beginning, before storm came, he was winning about 3 or 5 races, but when the storm came, he started to not win no more.
@rizzuku.himdoriyaa it does, but when I watched cars in my childhood before I ditched the cars series and got into sonic, I never thought McQueen was 45 years old
And another fun fact about McQueen is that he initially was going to be a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo NASCAR stock car, which if Disney stuck with that design the movies would look pretty dated, but would be neat to see…
Do 5 things about Parker brakeston and claude scruggs which are part of my cars series I use diecasts, their role is to be lightning mcqueens friends in racing, I voice all the characters, I don’t record any of them because I use an iPad and it’s hard to record with an iPad because it keeps tipping over
hes right if you watch the cars 1 2005 trailer you can see the the car with the number 57 is lightning mcqueen bit his name in that trailer was joel mcqueen and the other racers are based on 2001 monte carlos to make them look more accurate to nascar but then pixar needed more time into making for effort into cars
Blud really said they're buzzard wheels 😭😭 Bruh they literally say Lightyear in big bold letters, it's a reference to both buzz *lightyear* and the Goodyear tires that are used in real Nascar
So my guess is this is how old he was in each movie 1st: 20 (mainly when drivers become a top division driver. Unless you are somehow like Ty Gibbs.) 2nd: 25 3rd: 41
Lightning's real name is actually Montgomery lightning was actually a nickname that was given to him because he was so fast and the nickname stuck the way you say it sounds like his middle name but like I said it's his real first name:-)
The middle name... Is there a meaning about Montgomery because I realized FNAF has a animatronic named Montgomery gator it feels cool but I don't see any related on both stuff. Gotta go search it on Google but I don't trust some words there so meh I wanna see more answers.
@@davidlungujr6857 so then explain why they directly say he would’ve been the youngest rookie in history to win the piston cup, it’s stated directly in the movie
Lighting Mcqueen was born in 1983 according to the wiki, so in cars 3 2017 he would be around 34-35 years old. And 39-40 in Cars on the road. Don't know the exact age because his birth month is never mentioned.

Yeah, I was like: "Wait, a rookie can't possibly be in his 40s, that'll be too short of a career." plus, he looks a lot younger then cars 3
Right Now McQueen Is 46 Years Old
I thought his name was after Steve McQueen
Can we all agree that Cars was a part of everyone’s childhood?
No. Cars WAS our childhood
@@StonkyLad TRUE-
Yep, it inspired me to be a NASCAR driver, I am working on it

it’s not part of it. IT is the childhood 😂
“Lightning McQueen is about 45 yrs old” that kinda makes me feel old
that makes me feel f-ing sad for some reason :(
Well, you're in luck, because it's false.
He's not even 45 in Cars 3, he's 40 then. In the first film, he's much younger (in his 20s)
He's much older than u buddy 💀

Cuz he’s based on 1951 and in cars he was 55 so yea and Mc queen was probably early 20s
His name isn’t Lightning Montgomery McQueen. Monty is his real name and Lightning was a nickname given to him by a school friend.
I thought it was like a "stage name"-
And did u know that the school friend betrayed him?

McQueen age reveal
Yay!
The number 95 is also a reference to the year the first Toy Story was released.
You forget to mention how mqueens numbet 95 is also the year toy story came out in 1995
I didnt know that cars have ages too 😮
In the third film they reference the number 57 in it, when he goes to Thunder Hollow and has to disguise himself.
I didn't know my childhood was 45 years old 😢😢
R.I.P for the Pixar animator who died in 2008
It was 2002
Plot twist lighting McQueen and Montgomery gator are related
Lightning is not a part of his full name is actually a nickname one of his fellow racers gave to him at the racing Academy
Bros 45
I grew up on lightning McQueen the dude is my idol
They changed his number to 95 because that’s the year of the first toy story movie released
Even In his forties he was amazing no doubt
"His full name is Lightning Montgomery McQueen."
Me: Montgomery Gator(Monty)
And another fun fact about McQueen is that he initially was going to be a 2002 Chevy Monte Carlo NASCAR stock car, which if Disney stuck with that design the movies would look pretty dated, but would be neat to see…
fun fact: there was a car racer by the name of Steve McQueen which kinda is like lighting McQueen
I always thought that Lightning McQueen was named like that in honour to Steve McQueen
But also the lightyear sign is also in the Zeppelin in cars 3
Every time we are on a road trip and I see trucks parked for the night near gas stations, it reminds me of the first cars animation 😅.
Lion never gets old 🙌🙌
That's so sad about Glen. But at least it is even cool about it to remember him by.

Aw hell no
But his cat model looks early 2000’s tho.
Fun fact,Finding Nemo ending there’s a text that says "For Gleen Mqueen“

Number 4, Lightyear, combines buzz lightyear and Goodyear, the tires of Nascar.
Lightning Montgomery McQueen no never I’m never calling him that
Blud really said they're buzzard wheels 😭😭

Montgomery is also Lloyd's surname from Lego Ninjago
Montgomery gator???

My racing number is 57 bc
Of McQueen and Cristiano my favorite football player and 5 for Sebastian Vettel
I used to review those Diecast cars I know everything about those movies
Always thought that he is named after Stevie McQueen haha…
Lightyear is a reference to goodyear tires, not some Toy Story movie
I might be 12 but I still love all the cars moves
Movies
You know that all race cars in the first film had light year tires
Lighting Montgomery McQueen??? Wow
I wish there was cars 4
Fun fact:, when he say Glenn McQueen pass in 2002 The scene Is on McQueen sad face
Lightning was about 25 in the first movie, 31 in the second, and 37 in the third movie.
Wrong Google Said McQueen Was Born In 07/10/1977 and He's 29 In 2006, 34 in 2011 and 40 in 2017
NASCAR own Lightning McQueen car into the company in the cars area with the race. John Lasseter 1957
Marquees is 45 and he's still racing please god please make cars 4
still GOAT.
In 2002 transformer armada show starts
So my guess is this is how old he was in each movie
1st: 20 (mainly when drivers become a top division driver. Unless you are somehow like Ty Gibbs.)
2nd: 25
3rd: 41
Lightning's real name is actually Montgomery lightning was actually a nickname that was given to him because he was so fast and the nickname stuck the way you say it sounds like his middle name but like I said it's his real first name:-)
