'''Boost''' is the leader of the [[Delinquent Road Hazards]], an antagonistic gang of street racers with a collective affinity for body modification. According to his ''[[Car Finder Game]]'' biography, Boost once worked in a garage for the elderly, where he befriended a drop-tank racer who turned him onto the unorthodox practice of racing with nitrous. His newfound interests led him outside his hometown of [[Nitropolis]], where he eventually met [[DJ]], [[Snot Rod]], and [[Wingo]], with whom he formed a gang. The four cars are known for their obnoxious lifestyle, and have a recurring habit for bringing trouble wherever they go, especially for [[Lightning McQueen]] and his friends. He does so by speeding and reckless driving which he likes to do. He has a love for rap music much like the other Delinquent Road Hazards.

Boost is recognizable for his standout appearance, sporting a sleek, black spoiler and an elaborate network of exhaust pipes, as well as, most notably, the three nitrous boost canisters fastened above his roof. He is a [[Kyoku]] Jitsu, which, in real life, is based on the 1999 Nissan Silvia S15.
According to his [[Car Finder]] description, Boost's youth consisted of a job helping elderly cars, where he met a drop-tank racer that transformed him into the tuner car that he would soon turn out to be.
 
 
Since his debut, he has been a recurring character in the [[Cars (series)|''Cars'' series]].

[[File:Boost5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Boost and Wingo push Mack back and forth.]]In ''[[Cars]]'', Boost and his gang of tuner cars (himself, [[DJ]], [[Snot Rod]] and [[Wingo]]) are causing trouble on the interstate as a sleepy [[Mack]] tries his best to transport [[Lightning McQueen|McQueen]] all through the night. After DJ and Boost pull up beside him and start pushing him around, Wingo turns his lights on to discover that they're actually next to Lightning McQueen's hauler. Meanwhile, one of Lightning's toys fall of the shelf and onto the footplate, causing Mack's trailer to open, leaving him hanging on the edge. Snot Rod begins to prepare a sneeze, causing the others to speed away to get out of the blast radius. The noises causes Mack to jolt awake, allowing McQueen to fall out of his trailer.

"Sorry, chief. Road's closed."
Boost, Cars: The Videogame

Boost is the leader of the Delinquent Road Hazards, an antagonistic gang of street racers with a collective affinity for body modification. According to his Car Finder Game biography, Boost once worked in a garage for the elderly, where he befriended a drop-tank racer who turned him onto the unorthodox practice of racing with nitrous. His newfound interests led him outside his hometown of Nitropolis, where he eventually met DJ, Snot Rod, and Wingo, with whom he formed a gang. The four cars are known for their obnoxious lifestyle, and have a recurring habit for bringing trouble wherever they go, especially for Lightning McQueen and his friends. He does so by speeding and reckless driving which he likes to do. He has a love for rap music much like the other Delinquent Road Hazards.

Boost is recognizable for his standout appearance, sporting a sleek, black spoiler and an elaborate network of exhaust pipes, as well as, most notably, the three nitrous boost canisters fastened above his roof. He is a Kyoku Jitsu, which, in real life, is based on the 1999 Nissan Silvia S15.

History

Cars

Boost5

Boost and Wingo play "lane change" with a sleepy Mack.

In Cars, Boost, DJ, Snot Rod, and Wingo are carelessly weaving through traffic on the interstate as a sleepy Mack is trying his best to transport Lightning McQueen through an all-nighter. After DJ and Boost pull up beside him and start pushing him around, Wingo turns his lights on to discover that they are actually next to Lightning McQueen's hauler. Meanwhile, one of Lightning's toys fall of the shelf and onto the footplate, causing Mack's trailer to open, leaving him hanging on the edge. Snot Rod begins to prepare a sneeze, causing the others to speed away to get out of the blast radius. The noise causes Mack to jolt awake and McQueen to fall out of the trailer.

Later, he and his gang appeared in the epilogue, where they were speeding past Sheriff and starts chasing them. They were eventually impounded and paving a road with Bessie, much like how Lightning McQueen was.
