Carla racing in Tokyo

In Cars 2, Carla is a Brazilian race car who competes as the only female racer (similar to Misti Motorkrass), the #8, for the World Grand Prix. She is seen in all three races and also in the one at Radiator Springs. She finished third in the Tokyo race, and was also seen in the Porto Corsa race in the third position. However, during the Porto Corsa race, Carla's engine blew out, due to Grem aiming the Lemons' modified WGP Camera at her. In London she was seen in the back in 8th place. After passing through the Admiralty Arch she was seen in 9th place, in front of Raoul ÇaRoule and Rip Clutchgoneski. She was seen at the Radiator Springs Grand Prix race, talking with Shu Todoroki. During the race she was seen in 3rd place like usual however her position dropped to 4th due to Mater passing everyone with his rockets.

General information

Physical description

CARS 2 - Carla Veloso

Carla is a 2009 Le Motor Prototype B12 Racer. She is powered by a 5.5 liter twin turbocharged diesel V-12 engine with 725 HP. She can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 206 mph. Given that Carla represents a coupe style Le Mans Prototype built in 2009, her design closely resembles a Lola LMP1. Her vehicle type name is a reference to the Lola-Drayson B12/69 EV which its chassis name being B0960-HU03, the same name the car had in 2009. With this in mind, she is based on the 2009 Drayson Racing Lola B09/60 Judd. Her rear exhaust pipes are like they're from the Audi R10 TDi which may explain why she has the 5.5-liter twin turbo diesel V-12 engine, making her partly a reference to this Le Mans Prototype. Despite not being her main inspiration, Carla's curvy aerodynamics make her similar to the following open-cockpit Le Mans Prototypes: Pescarolo Sport C60, Radical SR9, and Ginetta Zytek GZ09S.

Carla is a glittery car painted green and blue, with a large blue spoiler sporting the World Grand Prix logo on it. She has blue splitter at the front which helps create downforce. She has blue 12-spoke rims, and grey and orange headlights. The three dots on her sides are LED lights, which are commonly seen on endurance sports cars. Her roof features an air intake.
