Which character is the international spy Finn McMissile’s field partner in Pixar’s Cars 2?

The story behind the answer

Holley Shiftwell is Finn McMissile’s field partner in Pixar’s Cars 2.

Holley is a British spy car who works for the intelligence agency that recruits Mater during the film’s international mission. She meets Finn McMissile while investigating a conspiracy connected to the World Grand Prix and an alternative fuel called Allinol.

The character combines spy-film equipment with automotive design. Holley uses gadgets, surveillance technology, and disguise-related tools while operating in locations including Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Her partnership with Finn gives Cars 2 its espionage structure, while Mater becomes involved after being mistaken for an American agent.

Holley Shiftwell was voiced by Emily Mortimer in the English-language version. Cars 2 differs sharply from the first Cars film because its main storyline follows international espionage rather than McQueen’s personal growth in Radiator Springs.
