Cars - Francesco Bernoulli - Disney Infinity Figurine
Francesco Bernoulli (voiced by John Turturro in Cars 2 and Cars 2: The Video Game, Roger Craig Smith in Disney Infinity) serves as Lightning McQueen's primary rival in the second film. He is a red 2009 Formula FB1 Prototype Racer, according to Meet the Cars and other books, with white and green decals, his number 1 on his front and sides, and LED lights underneath his front wing for nighttime racing (which is never seen in F1 because the front wing is the most common part of an F1 car that breaks). His pit crew consists of a large number of race pitties and his crew chief, Giuseppe Motorosi. According to Francesco's official specifications, his engine is a 2.4 liter V-8, 18,500 rpm redline with 750 horsepower. This would mean that Francesco is based on an F1 car (possibly a Brawn F1) from the 2009 F1 season since they use the same engine except that they operate at 18,000 rpm. His horsepower, and other factors included, give him an ability to go from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 220 mph. But unlike the F1 cars that were introduced during the 2011 Formula One season, Bernoulli doesn't have DRS.

Cars is a CGI-animated film series and Disney media franchise set in a world populated by anthropomorphic vehicles created by John Lasseter. The franchise began with the 2006 film of the same name, produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film was followed by a sequel in 2011. A third film was released in 2017. The now defunct Disneytoon Studios produced the two spin-off films Planes (2013) and Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014).
The first two Cars films were directed by Lasseter, then-chief creative officer of Pixar, Walt Disney Animation Studios, and Disneytoon Studios, while Cars 3 was directed by Brian Fee, a storyboard artist on the previous installments. Lasseter served as executive producer of Cars 3 and the Planes films. Together, the first three Cars films have accrued over $1.4 billion in box office revenue worldwide while the franchise has amassed over $10 billion in merchandising sales within its first 5 years.

A figurine (a diminutive form of the word figure) or statuette is a small statue that represents a human, deity or animal, or in practice a pair or small group of them. Figurines have been made in many media, with pottery, metal, wood, glass, and today plastic or resin the most significant. Ceramic figurines not made of porcelain are called terracottas in historical contexts.
Figures with movable parts, allowing limbs to be posed, are more likely to be called dolls, mannequins, or action figures; or robots or automata, if they can move on their own. Figurines and miniatures are sometimes used in board games, such as chess, and tabletop role playing games.
