Red is a character in Cars and Cars 2.

Cars

Red may not be a fire truck of many words, but what he doesn't say, he shows through his generous actions. Whether its putting out a tire fire or caring for the beautiful flowers, Red is there to support and protect his beloved town. Red takes negative comments on the town very personally. So if you have something bad to say about Radiator Springs, you'd better watch out, because if there's one thing Red's not afraid of, it's his emotions.

Cars 2

Red might not be part of Team Lightning McQueen, but someone has to tend the flowers he has around Radiator Springs. He makes sure he goes to the airport to wave goodbye to the team! Red is used to putting out fires, but this time he’s been called on to rescue Lightning McQueen and Mater who have been captured on their spy mission in London. But first, he has to take care of Professor Z's henchman, Acer, who is setting fire to everything.

Model

Red is a 1960s style fire truck, most closely resembling a mid-1960s Pirsch pumper but also resembles American LaFrance models.

His license plate is 002.
