What is the name of the Italian racing town in Pixar’s Cars 2?

Porto Corsa is the Italian racing town featured in Pixar’s Cars 2. It hosts the second race of the World Grand Prix, following the opening event in Tokyo.

The fictional location is designed as a picturesque coastal Italian setting, with narrow streets, waterfront views, and architecture inspired by real Italian towns. The race course winds through the town and creates a sharp contrast with the modern Tokyo circuit.

Lightning McQueen competes there as part of the World Grand Prix, while Mater continues to attract attention because of his accidental involvement in the spy plot. The film later moves the action to London for the championship’s final race and the conspiracy’s climax.

Porto Corsa is not the same place as Porto Rosso, the fictional Italian town from Pixar’s Luca. The two names are easy to mix up, but Porto Corsa belongs specifically to Cars 2.
