Lightning is no car in particular, but has elements of many sports cars. His headlights are just stickers and he has many sponsor decals on his sides, both similarities to NASCAR cars. Pixar was shown a Corvette by GM, which influenced his design. His overall profile was inspired by the Ford GT40. His tail resembles that of a Dodge Viper, while the tail lenses and roof are consistent with a Ford Mustang. The full size tour car is based on a Pontiac Firebird. His custom two-tone paint and tires are from a 50s Chevrolet Corvette. Overall, his appearance is a hybrid between a stock car and various other sports cars, but tilted slightly towards the stock car style. He can be considered an overall generic race car.

You all can't be serious... LM is definitely based on a Mazda RX-7. Even his number tells you so (the last RX7 imported to the US was a 95 model year. The same number painted on his door.)
If that wasn't enough of a clue, remember that his twin groupies were blue Miatas.

He is a Chevy Covert, you can see the similarity for the body shape. I dunno, if other cars are origin from real cars then he got to be one of the real cars too
