In Pixar’s Cars 2, what type of vehicle is Finn McMissile?

In Pixar’s Cars 2, Finn McMissile is a spy car.

Finn is an experienced British secret agent who recruits Mater after mistaking him for an American operative. His role gives Cars 2 a spy-thriller structure, with surveillance, disguises, gadgets, and international missions alongside the film’s racing storyline.

The character’s design draws on classic British sports and grand-touring cars, especially the visual tradition associated with fictional secret agents. Finn’s equipment includes weapons and devices built into his vehicle, while his polished manners contrast with Mater’s informal behavior.

Cars 2 expands the franchise beyond Radiator Springs by following the World Grand Prix across several countries. Finn’s investigation concerns a plot involving alternative fuel, and his partnership with Mater becomes a major source of the film’s comedy. Finn McMissile is distinct from Holley Shiftwell, another British agent who works with him during the mission.
