McQueen's design received another update in ''Cars 3'', and now it mostly resembles the original first one, but with rebranded Piston Cup and Rust-eze logos. His old spoiler was regained, the number 95 is now seen under his right headlight, on his hood is now seen a lightning bolt with Rust-eze logo. After his crash, McQueen was painted primer with red "95" on his doors. When Lightning was brought to Rust-eze Racing Center, [[Ramone]] repainted McQueen back into 2016 Piston Cup paint job, but without lightning bolt on his hood old Rust-eze logos and with the WGP-like flaming bolt. At the Rust-eze Racing Center he receives an electronic suit heat-shrunk onto him with its own decal scheme. The yellow lightning bolt design with Rust-eze ghost pattern on his doors now extends all the way to his rear fender, and large Rust-eze logos are now present on his rear end, spoiler and hood,<ref name="lightningstrikes">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1eQYk74R1g&t=1s "Cars 3 "Lightning Strikes" Extended Look" on YouTube]</ref> and the sponsor stickers disappeared somewhat resembling the paintjobs of the Next-Gens minus the sponsor logos. However, the suit is accidentally torn to shreds during training at [[Thomasville]] and Lightning competed in next race in Ramone's paint job. When McQueen becomes Cruz Ramirez' crew chief, he entirely receives a new paint job, inspired by the Fabulous Hudson Hornet's appearance. Now he is painted blue, on his roof seen four yellow 95 numbers and one on his rear fenders, old yellow Rust-eze wordmarks on his hood and spoiler, instead of lightning bolts. On his doors, it is now written "Fabulous Lightning McQueen". The Hudson Hornet logo replaces the Rust-eze logo on the rear and his rear bumper reads "95 For Doc Hudson", the stickers and 95 under his right headlight was removed. | McQueen's design received another update in ''Cars 3'', and now it mostly resembles the original first one, but with rebranded Piston Cup and Rust-eze logos.

Based on outside information, McQueen could potentially have a top speed of 225mph+, based around McQueen's multiple altercations with [[Francesco Bernoulli|Francesco]], where he is seen on relative terms with him despite having a lower acceleration. This reinforces the idea that McQueen has a higher stable top speed than Francesco, who respectively has a top speed of [[Francesco Bernoulli|220mph]] (Being based off an [https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-vs-f2-top-speed-car-size-races-compared/10500047/#:~:text=F1%20cars%20regularly%20go%20above,downforce%20trim%2C%20with%20DRS%20open. F1 racer] and being presented as the fastest F1 racer in the series, making this a severe lowball). Using calculations, McQueen can be anywhere from 5-10mph faster than Francesco's top speed. | |||
**Top speed statistic 250mph is based around McQueen matching pace with [[Mater|Tow Mater]] with rockets. Using calculations, Mater speeding past Francesco can be anywhere from 30-80mph faster than him. McQueen at the end of the movie is seen keeping even with Mater despite both of them going all out in competitive spirit. | |||
