Some, like Grem the Gremlin and Acer the Pacer, take obvious inspiration from real cars. Others are a bit more ambiguous. We've also put them side-by-side with the vehicles we think they might be modeled after.
Disney: Finn McMissile is a master British spy. Though charming and eloquent, it's his stealth maneuvering, intelligence and years in the field that enable him to thwart unexpected attacks from bad guys, making quick daredevil escapes. Finn's design is sleek and timeless, but he's also prepared for any tricky situation with an arsenal of ultracool gadgets and weaponry, including front and rear grappling hooks, a missile launcher, deployable magnetic explosives and a holographic disguise emitter.
But along the way it developed into more of a spy thriller and a sleek British agent car named Finn McMissile took over. Like the original "Cars" of , the new movie, which opens Friday, is certain to have car fans trying to identify makes, models and years of the car characters on screen.
But other vehicles including McMissile are harder to nail down. You may change your billing preferences at any time in the Customer Center or call Customer Service.

The art director grew up in Detroit with a car-designer dad and went to school for industrial design, and Cars 2 was a dream gig particularly because Lasseter shares Schuster's passion for nailing the details.
Coming from car culture myself, and understanding engineering in these cars and how certain cars look—I'm totally using everything I learned during my education on these characters.

He is a British spy car who mistakes Mater for an American spy and recruits him in the mission to solve and thwart the conspiracy that sabotaged the World Grand Prix. Though charming and eloquent, it's his stealth maneuvering, intelligence and years in the field that enable him to thwart unexpected attacks from bad guys, making quick daredevil escapes.
Finn's design is sleek and timeless, but he's also prepared for any tricky situation with an arsenal of ultra-cool gadgets and weaponry, including front and rear grappling hooks, a missile launcher, deployable magnetic explosives and a holographic disguise emitter. As a seasoned professional in the game of international espionage, Finn believes there is a conspiracy brewing during the World Grand Prix. His clandestine work surrounding the global exhibition race puts him on a collision course with Mater, whom he mistakes for an undercover American agent with a genius disguise.
Finn is elegant, nice, polite, and kind. He is also daring and extremely brave, smart, and eloquent, which is almost mandatory for a spy. He knows every trick in the book and is always prepared for any kind of situation. Originally, Finn was supposed to appear in the first Cars movie. In a sequence that never went beyond the storyboarding stage, Lightning and Sally went to the Radiator Springs drive-in theater where a James Bond-type film about a superspy car named Finn McMissile, dispatching "Taxis of Death" was playing.
In Cars 2 , the team wanted him to be more serious, realist, and understated. His design draws inspiration from several sports cars from the s, mainly British, but also Italian. We wanted him to be a really elegantly designed English sportscar from the sixties. We did this really deep search into that kind of car from that era. We took everything from all the cars we love and baked it into Finn. In the Cars storyboards, Finn had imposing tailfins.
While their size was ultimately greatly reduced, it remained an essential element of his design, that influenced the choice of cars used for inspiration. The only car model that Pixar has named as an inspiration for Finn is the Peerless GT, a British sports car, which was the only British sports car they found that featured tailfins.
The animators felt it necessary to establish limitations of what Finn could do and what gadgets he had, in order to make a more earthbound character. Finding how to resolve this problem had some influence on his design: Finn's side vents were modified so that machine guns could get out, and his bumperettes were made with the idea they could serve as grappling hooks. Honestly, they announced Michael Caine when [the character] was done and all that the animators could do to go back in and start dialing in the mouth shapes and the eye shapes.
Finn McMissile is first seen sneaking onto a suspicious oil platform and finds out the evil scientist Professor Z is in command of the operations there.
