Sally Carrera is a baby blue Porsche, who is Lightning McQueen's love interest, as well as the town attorney.
History
Sally grew tired of her life in the fast lane as a high-powered attorney in Los Angeles and made a new start in the small town of Radiator Springs. Charming, intelligent, and witty, she became the town attorney and the car most dedicated to preserving the town's historical beauty. She bought the Cozy Cone Motel and restored it back to its original condition and has no plans of stopping there. She'd fix the whole town building by building if that's what it took.
Cars
In Cars, Sally is the one who comes up with the idea to have Lightning repair the road that he tore up, which is approved by Doc. After the road is repaired, Sally takes Lightning up for a drive in Tailfin Pass, and when she tells him a story about what Radiator Springs used to be before being taken off the map, Lightning realizes that the town has more meaning that he thought it did. At the end of the film, Sally becomes Lightning's girlfriend.
