Porto Corsa is the Italian village where Pixar’s Cars 2 holds the second World Grand Prix race.
Porto Corsa is a fictional coastal location designed with visual references to the Italian Riviera. Its narrow streets, waterfront setting, colorful buildings, and winding circuit provide a sharp contrast with the opening race in Tokyo and the finale in London.
The race there is part of the international competition created by Sir Miles Axlerod. It also advances the film’s espionage plot, as Mater and the secret agents investigate the danger surrounding Allinol.
Porto Corsa is sometimes confused with Radiator Springs, the fictional Route 66 town at the center of the original Cars. Tokyo is the first World Grand Prix venue, while London hosts the final race.
