In Pixar's Cars 2, what country is Max Schnell from?

In Pixar's Cars 2, Max Schnell is from Germany.

Max Schnell is one of the racers competing in the World Grand Prix. He is presented as a German sports car with a background in touring-car racing, and his engineering-minded image contrasts with the more openly boastful Francesco Bernoulli. The film's international field gives the competition a deliberately global character.

The World Grand Prix includes racers associated with several countries, including Italy, France, Japan, and the United Kingdom. That broad lineup is why character nationality can be easy to mix up, especially when the racers appear together in publicity and race scenes.

Max Schnell is not the Italian racer; that role belongs to Francesco Bernoulli. He is also not Raoul ÇaRoule, who represents France. Identifying Schnell as German depends on the character's stated background and the official Cars 2 character information.
