Fiction. A race car in a world of cars. Fast for that world, and bounded by it. Pixar does not give him a top speed this page will treat as canon.
In the story
Lightning McQueen wants a number on the door and a win at the end of the season. Cars is a sports movie that happens to have headlights. He drafts, he pits, he loses and he learns. Nothing in that story needs him to outrun a cartoon coyote or a man who runs across water.
What is not a measurement
No official top speed adopted. He is a stock car in a racing story. This page does not turn the story into miles per hour.

Toy speedometers and tie-in stats exist. They are merchandise. Unless a film states a speed in the story, this list leaves the dial blank. He is last among these ten because his fiction caps him at racing, which is a real kind of fast and a small one next to a Speed Force.
The editorial order also includes Speedy Gonzales. The order is about the scale each story claims. It is not a clock.
