Cars 2 is the Pixar Cars film set partly in London during an international racing event.
The film’s World Grand Prix reaches London for its final race. The city provides landmarks, streets, and a nighttime setting for the climax of the racing and espionage plots.
Cars 2 follows Lightning McQueen as he enters the World Grand Prix after being challenged by Italian racer Francesco Bernoulli. Mater travels with him and becomes entangled with British secret agents Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell.
The movie was released in 2011 and directed by John Lasseter and Brad Lewis. Unlike the first Cars, which focuses heavily on a small American town and McQueen’s personal growth, Cars 2 emphasizes international travel, spy gadgets, and a broader ensemble cast.
