This Lightning McQueen wrapped 2012 Mazda 6, up for sale on Facebook Marketplace, is a guaranteed head-turner.
For those unaware, Lightning McQueen was the competent but cocky red racecar who appeared in the 2003 Pixar animated movie Cars.
The flick was a hit, and went on to spawn a couple of sequels, a spin-off TV show and some video games.
And fans of the franchise might be interested to learn that a one-of-a-kind Pixar-inspired vehicle has been offered up for sale in Doncaster in the United Kingdom.

Fancy taking to the streets in Lightning McQueen?
Unlike his animated girlfriend Sally Carrera, who is based on the Porsche 911, Lightning McQueen is actually inspired by several different vehicles.
Cars creator John Lasseter and his team of designers decided to use a composite for McQueen and ended up with something that is part stock car and part Le Mans endurance racer because he wanted to ensure it looked cool on screen.
However, this wrapped version up for sale on Facebook Marketplace – where you can also get your hands on this street-legal Chevy Camaro golf cart – is a 2012 Mazda 6 2.2 diesel business line hatchback.
We wonder how it would fare in the Piston Cup.
The seller notes that the unusual-looking vehicle ‘turns heads wherever it goes’.
And it’s easy to see why, isn’t it? It’s not every day you see a famous animated vehicle out on the road.
The car is perfect if you ‘want to be noticed’
The McQueen Mazda has done 139,000 miles and still drives ‘mint’ according to its owner.
As well as one of the most unique wraps we’ve ever seen, the vehicle comes with electric windows and mirrors, a sat nav system, and air-conditioning.
Photos shared alongside the listing show the interior is kitted out in black and looks to be in as great shape as the exterior.
The Mazda has a current and valid Ministry of Transport test (MOT) and is listed for £3,495 (around $4,310).
We can only imagine the sort of attention this little guy gets when he’s out on the road.
