In Pixar's Cars 2, Finn McMissile is the British spy who investigates the World Grand Prix sabotage.
Finn is an Aston Martin-inspired secret agent who discovers evidence that the race may be connected to a wider conspiracy. His investigation brings him into contact with Mater, whom he mistakenly believes is an American intelligence operative after overhearing a conversation.
The character plays the straight spy-film role in contrast with Mater's accidental, comic approach to espionage. Finn is equipped with gadgets, disguises, and investigative skills, and he works with Holley Shiftwell during the mission.
Michael Caine voices Finn McMissile in the English version. Cars 2 expands the franchise from Radiator Springs and stock-car racing into an international adventure involving locations such as Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Finn should not be confused with Professor Zündapp, the scientist involved in the conspiracy.
