Boost is the leader of the gang of tuners. '

Bio

Boost wasn't always a gang leader. When he was younger, he worked at a garage for elderly cars where he befriended an early drop-tank racer who turned him onto the ways of racing with nitrous. Learning from the master who racked up records on the Great Salt Lake, Boost promised the old timer he'd keep the tradition alive.

In Cars, Boost is the leader of the Tuner Cars group consisting of himself, DJ, Snot Rod and Wingo. Boost and his group are the main cause for McQueen falling out of his trailer. They were driving along the interstate when they noticed a sleepy Mack. Boost decided to have a little fun with him, which the others agreed, by swaying Mack back and fourth until Snot Rod's sneeze makes them flee the scene. Boost later appeared in the epilogue when he and his gang were chased and caught by Sheriff and were impounded. They were later sent to pull Bessie, who splashed hot tar on them.

In Tokyo Mater, Boost is seen at the beginning of the short film, drifting with his gang through the main road, the event that led Mater into his story. Sheriff began to chase them, and it is assumed that he was once again arrested.

In Cars: The Video Game, Boost was first seen up in Tailfin Pass, blocking Lightning from crossing "their road". He was challenged by Lightning to a race, through the abandoned mine. After losing the race and a boost tank, he threatened, "This isn't over, McQueen!" and drove away. Eager to get revenge, they accepted Chick Hicks' offer to help him steal goods from Lightning's trailer. They did, until Lightning bashed them up until they gave him back his gear. They were later put in the impound.

Boost appears in Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures, being chased by Sheriff.

In Mater Saves Christmas, Boost appears as one of Chick Hicks' allies. He was once again arrested, with the rest of his gang, for attempting to steal goods from the Radiator Springs townsfolk.

In The World of Cars Online, Boost and his friends are usually found on the test course where you race against computer players instead of racing against real players. They can also be found speeding in front of you at random times, chased by Sheriff.

In Cars 2: The Video Game, Boost is a downloadable playable character although he does not appear in Cars 2. Boost appeared in the magazine story The Pit Stop when he and his gang obnoxiously sped across the main road. They ran out of gas later on, and they stopped at Flo's V8 Cafe, where Sheriff was waiting for them. It is unknown if they got away or were once again arrested.

Livery

Boost is painted a faint purple color, on his doors and the outside of his rims. He has a big grey spoiler, and three boost tanks mounted on his rear windshield. His name is painted in purple along both of his side doors, and his licence plate reads the same thing.

Model

Boost is based on a Kyoko Jitsu. This design seems to inspire his Tokyo counterpart, Kabuto's. He is also based on a 1994 Mitsubishi Eclipse. He sports carbon fiber panels. His paint job looks like a million dollars. His wheel rims compliment sleek body style. He spends a night booted in Mater's impound lot.

His license plate simply says his name, "BOOST", and it also says he's from Nitropolis.

Occupation

Boost's occupation is to just be plain obnoxious and mis-behaved as he seems to stop at nothing to absolutely destroy other cars or wreak some kind of havoc.
