General information

Physical description

MaterAndTheGhostlightRamone

Ramone's blue paint job

Ramone is based off a 1959 Chevy Impala Lowrider.

His license plate reads "LOWNSLOW" in the movies. It is a reference to his catchphrase Low N' Slow". However, on the die-casts, his license plate reads "LOWNSLO".

Ramone is constantly painting himself, so his livery is frequently changing, though Ramone is most often depicted in his purple paint job, due to him spending the majority of Cars with that color, and most merchandising lines release him with that color scheme.

Personality and traits

Ramone is kind and loyal, and is always willing to paint anyone in need. He sometimes is cocky and brags, mainly about his hydraulics.

Powers and abilities

Ramone's Rhythmic Rumble 1

Ramone dancing
