He has a building named after him called " Boost's Nitro Shop", which is unlocked at the same time he is. In Cars: Fast as Lightning, Boost is an unlockable playable character, awarded to the player once all of DJ's races are won and all of Boost's stickers are won. Boost is in the medium weight class, and as a result, his power and speed are balanced. Once he is purchased, he can be used in any unlocked C.H.R.O.M.E. In Cars 2: The Video Game, Boost is a downloadable playable character, although he does not appear in Cars 2. They can also be found speeding in front of the player at random times, chased by Sheriff.īoost with Finn McMissile in Cars 2: The Video Game. In The World of Cars Online, Boost and his friends are usually found on the test course when the player races against computer players instead of racing against real players. Sheriff begins to chase them, and it is assumed that he is once again arrested. In Tokyo Mater, Boost is seen at the beginning of the short film, drifting with his gang through the main road, the event that leads Mater into his story. They are later put in the impound.Īlthough Boost is not a selectable character for Arcade mode races, he is still playable in the High Speed Heist minigame.īoost appears in Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures along with the rest of his gang in the minigame Speed Trap, where they try to escape as Sheriff chases them along the highway. They do, until Lightning bashes them up until they give him back his gear. Eager to get revenge, he and his gang accept Chick Hicks' offer to help him steal goods from Lightning's trailer. After losing the race and a boost tank, he threatens, "This isn't over, McQueen!" and drives away. He is challenged by Lightning to a race, through the abandoned mine. In Cars: The Video Game, Boost is first seen up in Tailfin Pass, blocking Lightning from crossing "their road". The noise causes Mack to jolt awake and McQueen to fall out of the trailer. Snot Rod begins to prepare a sneeze, causing the others to speed away to get out of the blast radius.
Meanwhile, one of Lightning's toys fall of the shelf and onto the footplate, causing Mack's trailer to open, leaving him hanging on the edge. After DJ and Boost pull up beside him and start pushing him around, Wingo turns his lights on to discover that they are actually next to Lightning McQueen's hauler. In Cars, Boost and his gang of tuner cars (himself, DJ, Snot Rod and Wingo) are causing trouble on the interstate as a sleepy Mack tries his best to transport McQueen all through the night. Richard Hatfield, CEO and Founder of the Lightning Motorcycle, says, " Light weight and high efficiency are essential for high-performance motorcycles, we have used some applications of niobium to achieve these goals." In addition, the usage of this metal in various alloys in cathodes and anodes of batteries allows faster charging and greater energy density than the traditional lithium-ion batteries.Boost and Wingo push Mack back and forth. But all records are meant to be broken, aren't they? It is powered by a 200 hp motor, which allowed it to establish a 215.96 mph (347.55 kph) world speed record in August 2021 at Bonneville. The top of the range version has a 20 kWh battery and a price of $46,888. Lightning Motorcycles already offers the LS-218 electric superbike with a starting price of $38,888 for the base version, fitted with a 12 kWh battery pack. Creating an alloy with these two vastly improved technological achievements in all areas, from pipes to spacecraft. It is also ten times more expensive than titanium, which doesn't possess the same qualities. The same metal is responsible for important improvements in automotive safety, as niobium alloys are integrated in bodyworks and safety systems.
In addition, thanks to the various components of the motorcycle made with niobium alloys, the two-wheeler will be lighter and, thus, faster. The targeted speed is 250 mph (402.2 kph). In February, the Brazilian company CBMM announced its partnership with Lightning Motorcycles to create the fastest production motorcycle in the world.
The biggest supplier of niobium is Brazil, which accounts for over 70% of the world market. It was also used on the Apollo 15 CSM rocket nozzle in combination with titanium. It is largely used in medicine for the magnets of the MRI scanners, nuclear industry, optics, and jewelry. Niobium is a metal with a similar hardness as titanium, and it is used on superconducting materials.
