Cars 2 is the Pixar Cars film set partly in Tokyo, Italy, and London.
The film follows Lightning McQueen as he enters the World Grand Prix, a three-race competition held in international locations. Mater travels with him and becomes entangled in a spy mission involving secret agents, an advanced fuel, and a plot against the racers.
The settings include Tokyo, Porto Corsa in Italy, and London. These locations give Cars 2 a much broader geographic scope than the first film, which is primarily centered on Radiator Springs and the American Southwest.
The international setting supports the film's deliberate move into action-spy territory. Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell bring secret-agent elements, while the races keep the franchise's automotive focus at the center of the story.
