Quote :“A REAL FERRARI! Punch, me Guido, punch me!”
Other apperances: Not in this Disney Cars movie, but if you pop in Finding Nemo and look closely in one of the two scenes where they are trying to cross the road, you’ll find an early version of Luigi!
Luigi ,the energetic and enthusiastic Italian car is a major race fan of Scuderia Ferrari (The division of Ferrari
Fiat 500
automobile company concerned with racing) and has followed racing all his life. He is also the owner of the town’s tire store, Luigi’s Cassa del la Tires (“ . . . home of the Leaning Tower of Tires”). If you’re gonna be driving through this world, why not look good doing it? That’s Luigi’s motto. Cars may not get to choose their body type, but they all have a choice when it comes to the tires they wear. Luigi offers the finest selection of tires west of the Mississippi, and Luigi’s Casa Della Tires is known far and wide for its impeccable service, competitive prices, and of course, its very stylish proprietor.
Luigi is one of the more likable Disney Cars Characters due to his enthusiasm towards his work (he takes his job very seriously). His partner at work, who is also from Italy, is Guido; whose one dream is to perform a real “pit stop” on a racecar during a race. It’s truly hilarious to see Luigi and Guido interact with Lightning McQueen, as he’s the first real racecar they’ve seen in years; and their attitude towards McQueen abruptly changes when they find he’s not a European car!
At the end of the movie , McQueen directs a group of Italian sports cars — a Ferrari (voiced by Michael Schumacher) and two Maserati Quattroportes — to his shop, having recommended it. The presence of a celebrity Ferrari in their store causes both Luigi and Guido to faint from shock and happiness.
For the Italian version of the film, Luigi was voiced by comedian Marco Della Noce; one of Della Noce’s most popular characters was “Oriano Ferrari”, a parody character meant to represent the leader of Ferrari’s pit stop crew
