Race Around the World With Lightning McQueen in Cars: Lightning Speed

Cars: Lightning Speed is a racing game inspired by Disney Pixar’s Cars movies. You get to create your own racing car and compete against famous characters, including Lightning McQueen, Francesco Bernoulli, Carla Veloso, and Max Schnell.

Lightning McQueen helps guide you through the game as you begin your racing career. Your goal is to win races, collect rewards, and become a champion.

The game features tracks in five countries. You can race through the USA, Italy, Germany, Japan, and Brazil. Each location brings different scenery, roads, and obstacles.

Design Your Own Racing Car

Cars: Lightning Speed lets you build a car that matches your style.

You can choose from five different car models before entering the competition.

Visit the garage to change your car’s paint, add decals, and select different wheels.

You can also purchase performance upgrades to improve your racing abilities.

Special equipment kits help your car handle different types of tracks. For example, the Desert Kit suits dusty roads, while the Neon Kit gives your car a different look for races in Japan.

The garage also lets you spend coins earned during races.

Explore Twenty Racing Tracks

The game includes 20 tracks spread across five countries.

You can visit Radiator Springs in the USA, race through Porto Corsa in Italy, and explore the busy streets of Neon Tokyo in Japan.

Germany features mountain racing scenery, while Brazil takes you through jungle surroundings.

You can choose Single Race for a quick competition or Career Mode to work through different racing cups.

The game also offers Rookie and Pro difficulty settings.

Collect Lightning Bolts and Use Your Boost

Your car moves forward automatically during each race.

You need to steer around obstacles and collect lightning bolts scattered along the track.

Lightning bolts help fill your speed boost meter.

Once you have enough power, activate the boost to accelerate and pass other racers.

Watch out for obstacles because hitting them slows your car and reduces your boost power.

You can also collect toolboxes that help you earn rewards.

How to Play Cars: Lightning Speed

Use the Left and Right Arrow Keys to steer your car.

Press Enter to activate your speed boost.

You don’t need to press an accelerator because the vehicle moves automatically.

Try staying on the road and avoiding obstacles near the edges.

Save your boost for a good opportunity to pass another racer. You can also use it on a clear section of the track.

Cars: Lightning Speed lets you customize your vehicle, race famous Cars characters, and work through a worldwide racing championship.
