History
Cars: Mater-National Championship
Otto
In Cars: Mater-National Championship, Otto first appears in the cut-scene for North Willys Butte, where Sheriff pulls him over from speeding. Then Lightning McQueen came over and asked what the problem was. Sheriff said that he caught a speeder speeding. Otto says that he's a racecar, so he doesn't go slow. Then Lightning challenges him to a 3 lap race, and he asks Sheriff to join, which he did. After being beaten in the race, he wants to race again. Lightning tells him to take a break and see the town. He has a girlfriend named Jenny, who Lightning says he can't go back without a gift for her, so Otto went to visit Lizzie to ask for a tour, and about Stanley, and how things were different now to old days. Otto likes to sign autographs, and he has cruise control.
Otto came out of Lizzie's shop covered all over with stickers. Also, when Lightning and Doc Hudson were entering the stadium for the first time, Doc asks who that guy covered with stickers was, who was probably Otto.
Otto is an opponent in all of the Stadium Races, and is part of one of the opposing teams in Luigi & Guido's Team Relay 4, along with Giovanni and Gudmund.

- His body seems very similar to Max Schnell's body, which is a coincidence, because they're both German.
