From The Late Brake Show.
Meet the man behind Pixar Cars (and how this REAL Sally Carrera 911 was built). In this special episode Jonny Smith manages to meet and interview one of the character creators of Disney Pixar’s Car Movie. Filmed at the 2023 Porsche Rennsport Reunion event in Californina, Jay Ward explains how the characters came to life, and why Lightning McQueen’s wife (Sally Carrera) had to be a 911 – specially a 996.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.
Besides being deeply passionate about his work, Jay is also a huge enthusiast of real life cars (especially classic Volkswagens and Porsches). In order to successfully create a fully operational Sally Carrera, Porsche gave Pixar a pre-production 996 in order to heavy customise in order to make the proportions similar to that of Sally’s movie character.

We have used several Disney Pixar Cars video clip(s) after careful research into the legalities surrounding ‘Fair Use’, knowing that we have used the clip(s) in a factual, reportage manner in order to validate the discussion point made by the person(s) involved in the original footage. We have also used the clip in the confidence that it will act in a positive transformative way to the original clips; with that in mind, please check out the original Disney Pixar Cars The Movie. Many thanks.
