[[File:FinalLap.png|200px|thumb|right|The Final Lap Collection series logo, featuring [[Dexter Hoover]] waving a white flag.]]{{Quote2|"It's the final lap and a race to the finish! Collect 40 new characters from the CARS movie, but don't speed by any classics you missed the first time around!"|'''Original tagline'''}}
The '''Final Lap Collection''' was a limited series of die-cast [[Mattel Disney Pixar Cars|Character Cars]] by [[Mattel]], that was exclusively sold at Target stores within the United States. Following the switch to "Lenticular" mainline cars late in [[Race O Rama Series|Race O Rama]] and into the [[Drifting Series]], the "classic" fixed-eye models were relegated to store-exclusive items and collections, with the Final Lap Collection designed to continue releasing lesser-known characters and appease longtime collectors.
 
The series was first released in October 2009, with its final assortment appearing in early 2011; beginning in April 2011, ''Cars'' models a whole were temporarily discontinued as marketing shifted focus to that summer's ''[[Cars 2]]'' film.
 
==History==
Unlike all other store-exclusive collections in the line's history, Final Lap models included the character's respective [[List of die-casts by collector number|collector number]] just as the mainline Drifting singles did, though it omitted the logo and label color to represent the character's segment designation. Final Lap singles featured a unified, brown nameplate, similar in shape to the "normal" one. They also maintained that year's core "Drifting" motif.
 
The cardback notably teased a total of 40 exclusive, never-produced characters from the ''Cars'' film, while encouraging collectors to look out for re-releases from previous series. While the first four shipping assortments contained low quantities of long-time models like [[Lightning McQueen]] and [[The King]], boxes from "E" onwards exclusively contained new characters; no "new" model appeared in more than one case.
 
Starting from "Case G" onwards, the cardback bio was slightly modified:
:"''It's the final lap and a race to the finish! Collect 40 never produced, 1:55 die-cast vehicles of characters from the CARS movie, but don't speed by any classics you missed the first time around!''"
 
A final total of 34 new models were ultimately released, five of which were initially featured in the [[Race O Rama Series|2009]] Collector Guide and poster but never distributed - these were joined by ten older re-releases.
