Which Italian town is a World Grand Prix stop in Pixar's Cars 2?

The story behind the answer

Porto Corsa is the Italian town that hosts a World Grand Prix stop in Pixar's Cars 2.

The fictional Porto Corsa race takes place on a coastal circuit surrounded by colorful buildings, waterways, and tight streets. It is one of the three featured World Grand Prix locations, alongside Tokyo and London. The setting allows the film to contrast high-speed racing with an unmistakably Italian visual style.

Radiator Springs belongs to the first Cars film and is located in the American Southwest-inspired Ornament Valley. Paris is referenced within the spy-adventure world but is not the Italian race stop. Motoropolis is another fictional location associated with Pixar's Cars universe, not the World Grand Prix city in question. The name Porto Corsa combines Italian-sounding port imagery with “corsa,” the Italian word for race.
