Otto Von Fassenbottom is the first of the five International racers from Cars: Mater-National Championship.
Cars: Mater-National Championship
Bio
Given Otto's exqusite German engineering, you might expect him to be a perfectionist. He's certainly focused on racking up wins, but he's also having a great time doing it. Otto's got a rock-star attitude, and he knows what he likes - and he likes to drive fast. He spends a lot of his free time cruising the Autobahn back home, and doesn't understand the concept of speed limits.
Role
Otto is pulled over by Sheriff for going 120 when the speed limit was 25, and quickly fires up North Willy's Butte. Otto later appears in Team Relay 3, Team Relay 4, and all four Stadium Races. He can be unlocked for 20000 points.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
Otto makes a cameo on a portrait in Luigi's Casa Della Tires.
Livery
Otto is gray with black tires and spoiler with a German flag on his sides. His license plate reads "GOENFAUST" (which literally means "goin' fast"). In Cars 2, a character named Max Schnell was designed from this.
Personality
Otto is self-centered and highly encouraged to race, as he refuses to follow speed limits and usually does not want to stop racing.
Abilities
Otto does not have any notable abilities, and he usually is outsped by the other "international" racers. However, with him being here visiting Radiator Springs in the game, he is likely a very good performing racer on his home tracks.

Trivia
- Although Sheriff pulled Otto over, he won't pull Lightning over when he goes 120 and higher in exploration mode.
- Otto's eye color is brown on the Rainbow Studios versions of the game, but are blue in the Incinerator Studios versions and the handheld versions.
- His name is a play on two different things. "Otto Von" is a play on "Autobahn" (a highway in Germany that is commonly known for having no speed limits), and "Fassenbottom" is a play on "fasten your bottom" (fasten your seatbelt).
- According to Beta footage, Otto had a vastly different engine sound compared to the final game. It had a resemblance to the engine sound of real Le Mans (Le Cars) engines, it's still in the files of the final game. This engine sound did end up being used for Speedway McQueen in Cars: Race-O-Rama.
- Otto's number is 8, even though Barry appears in the same game and is also numbered 8.
- Otto is the only car that is not a Piston Cup Racer and has tires marked "LIGHTYEAR".
- Otto is the only one of the five International racers to have confirmed middle and last names.
- According to certain concept art, Otto was intended to have a front license plate, but the title of having this still belongs to only Fillmore and Fred.
- Tater also shared this in common, with concept art depicting him with a front license plate reading "TATER".
- Unlike any other front license plate, real or concept, Otto's front plate was located above his mouth, while the others were on their front bumpers.
