The Great Manufacturer or the Manufacturer is, in religious beliefs, conceived of as the supreme being, creator deity, and principal object of faith. It is the equivalent of God in the Cars franchise. The concept of the Manufacturer stems from the religious belief that God created all life on Earth and the universe. As such, the Manufacturer has essentially "manufactured" all the vehicles, the Earth, all animals that reside on the planet, and the entire Cars universe.
