Personality:
Thunder is a strong-willed yet spunky car, who makes sure to always be fair and embrace who she is. On account, she is a lover of adrenaline, and a car of surprising strength, speed, and agility. An avid athlete, her experience in racing has made her become more wary of others' needs and faults, as she is also very observant. Despite her struggle on being a pacifist, Thunder can get passionate and rather hot-headed whenever a nerve is struck, or whenever things don't go her way. She usually vessels this trait towards following "automobile" rights, to the point of being respectful to other automobile types, including lemons and rusty cars.
Thunder is all about female empowerment, and the social inclusion of all-female cars, which highly influenced her decision to step into the world of racing. Even though she was extremely outnumbered by the males, she gives it her all to enjoy herself in the thrill of competition.
Distinguishable Traits:
- She greatly resembles a 2017 Lykan Hypersport Supercar, one of the first, highly-performed sports cars in the Middle East.
- She shares a few traits with Lightning McQueen, like his Southern accent, signature baby-blue eyes, as well as the race number 95.
- Has an extremely-tough but luxurious, titanium/carbon-fibered body, with choppy-impressioned shapes and lines from her front and sides, along with a sliced, sharp bottom-edge upon her rear.
- She is one of the first cars to have 220 diamonds embedded in the blades of her LED headlights.
- There is also a massive vent just at the back of each wheel for reduced air pressure, giving her better control over her driving.
