What is the title of Pixar's 2011 sequel to Cars?

Pixar's 2011 sequel to Cars is titled Cars 2.

Cars 2 was released five years after the original film and expanded the story from Radiator Springs to an international circuit. Its plot combines the World Grand Prix with a spy adventure in which Mater is mistaken for an undercover agent.

The principal settings include Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Lightning McQueen competes against Francesco Bernoulli, while Mater interacts with British agents Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell. This structure gives the sequel a different genre flavor from the first film's road-story and small-town comedy.

The title is deliberately simple: it uses the original film's name followed by the sequel number. It should not be confused with Cars 3, the later 2017 film that returns to a more character-focused racing story. Cars 2 was Pixar's first feature sequel after the Toy Story films.
