Description:

Alternate Universe, post Cars 3 timeline.
***

A science experiment gone horribly wrong lets loose a violent EMP blast across the world of cars, instantly killing any vehicle unable to sustain the incredibly high RPMs and the electrical storm the blast induces.

In the aftermath, very few survivors remain- mostly sportscars, hypercars...

...and racecars.

***
No zombies. No virus. No nuclear war. Just a tragedy, and the long years in its wake.
...And the inherent silliness of talking cars, of course.

Notes:

--***--
Covers a period of time between mid-2018 to ~2048 (on the basis that Cars 3 takes place in 2017 2018).

Credits: original baseline idea of the AU is from an anonymous discord user in the carburetor county discord server in 2019. We each had our own takes and it branched off into a few separate AUs. One of which is mine and Non’s, which is the version depicted here.
AU inspired partly by: Mad Max Fury Road, The Walking Dead, Warrior Cats, and The Last Of Us.
