Premise
The official synopsis of the press release reads:[3]Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater take their friendship to exciting new places in Cars 2 when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, Mater's action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.

Development
| “ | I kept looking out thinking, 'What would Mater do in this situation, you know?' I could imagine him driving around on the wrong side of the road in the UK, going around in big, giant traveling circles in Paris, on the autobahn in Germany, dealing with the motor scooters in Italy, trying to figure out road signs in Japan.[6] | ” |
In 2009, Disney registered several domain names in relation to the title World Grand Prix.[7]

Much longer in length than the brief teaser we got last month, the trailer introduces us to some of the new characters, and shows actual footage from the film. It also does a good job of introducing us to the plot, which has Lightning McQueen and Mater going on the international racing circuit, only to be mistaken for secret agents.[10]
