Bio
Carla hails from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where she’s been known to dance the night away at the famous ‘CAR-nival’ but nothing makes her happier than being on the racetrack. Carla was drafted into the 24-hour endurance racing team in Europe after setting a new track record on her local circuit. Now, in the World Grand Prix, this proud Brazilian Le Motor Prototype racer, wearing #8, is the only female in the field.
Cars 2
In Cars 2, Carla is an Brazilian race car who competes as the only female racer, the #8, for the World Grand Prix. She is one of the greatest competitors. She is seen in all three races and also in the one at Radiator Springs. She finished 3rd in the Tokyo Race, and was also seen in the Porto Corsa Race at the 3rd position. But later, her engine exploded due to the Lemons' machine, used by Grem. Along with Francesco Bernoulli and Lightning McQueen, she is the fastest racecar from all. She is the first car hit by the lemons's radiation beam. She gets fixed though and gets back up to race. In London, her pit was next to Jeff Gorvette's pit on the left. She has no lines in the film.
