Cars 2 (2011)

British spy Finn McMissile infiltrates an oil rig owned by a group of lemon cars to rescue fellow spy Leland Turbo, who has blown his own cover. He witnesses the lemons, seemingly led by Professor Zündapp, load an electromagnetic pulse emitter, disguised as a camera onto a shipping crate. After discovering Leland’s death, a burst of flames reveals his presence to the criminals, and he escapes by faking his death. Lightning McQueen is now a four-time Piston Cup champion, renamed the Hudson Hornet Piston Cup, after the recent death of his mentor Doc Hudson, and returns to Radiator Springs to spend his off season with his friends. However, Italian formula race car, Francesco Bernoulli, challenges McQueen to race in the newly created World Grand Prix, led by its creator Sir Miles Axlerod, who intends to promote his new environmentally friendly fuel, Allinol. McQueen and his best friend Mater — along with Luigi, Guido, Fillmore, and Sarge — depart for Tokyo for the first race of the Grand Prix.

At a World Grand Prix promotional event, Mater makes a scene after eating a bowl of Wasabi and leaking on stage, embarrassing McQueen in front of everyone. While cleaning up, Mater interrupts a fight between American spy Rod “Torque” Redline (Finn and Holley’s contact) and lemons Grem and Acer. Redline plants his tracking device on Mater, causing Finn and Holly to mistake him for the spy. Meanwhile, Redline is captured and killed by Professor Zündapp, who reveals that Allinol is set on fire when hit with the EMP pulse from earlier. Zündapp informs his superior, an unknown mastermind, that Redline passed on his information. Holley finds Mater and recruits him to stop Zündapp’s plot. At the first race, three cars are ignited by the camera. McQueen places second in the race after Bernoulli, due to Mater accidentally giving him bad racing advice while evading Zündapp’s henchmen with help from Holley and Finn.
