In Pixar’s Cars 2, which British spy car recruits Mater for an undercover mission?

In Pixar’s Cars 2, British spy car Finn McMissile recruits Mater for an undercover mission.

Finn McMissile is an experienced British agent who mistakes Mater for an American operative during the World Grand Prix events. Mater is accidentally drawn into espionage after witnessing a suspicious encounter, and Finn later works with him to investigate the threat surrounding the international race.

The character is designed as a tribute to classic British spy vehicles. His equipment includes concealed gadgets and weapons, and his personality combines professional confidence with dry humor. Michael Caine provides Finn’s voice in the original English-language release, giving the character a deliberate connection to traditional cinematic spy roles.

Mater’s lack of spy training is a central source of comedy, but his observations and loyalty make him useful to the investigation. Holley Shiftwell, another British agent, becomes his partner and romantic interest. Finn McMissile should not be confused with Sir Miles Axlerod, the event organizer whose public identity and hidden role are important to the film’s mystery.
