In Pixar's Cars 2, which British spy car is assigned to work with Mater?

The story behind the answer

In Pixar's Cars 2, the British spy car assigned to work with Mater is Finn McMissile.

Finn McMissile is an Aston Martin-inspired secret agent who investigates a conspiracy surrounding the World Grand Prix. He initially mistakes Mater for an American agent because Mater happens to overhear a confidential conversation at the Tokyo race. Their accidental partnership becomes the film's central spy-comedy relationship.

Finn is equipped with spy-film technology, including hidden weapons, disguise equipment, and other gadgets. His calm, highly trained manner contrasts with Mater's improvised behavior and country-bumpkin personality. The contrast drives much of the film's humor while allowing Mater to become involved in the international mission.

Finn is voiced by Michael Caine in the English-language version. Holley Shiftwell is another British intelligence agent and a separate character, so the two are sometimes mixed up when recalling Mater's spy partners.
