McMissile has been captured by Professor Z and his agents - Mater is sent to rescue him. However, it is revealed that this is part of a mission simulation at C.H.R.O.M.E. (the Command Headquarters for Recon Operations and Motorized Espionage), an international spy-training center.
Given the generally negative reaction, I wasn't expecting a ton of screen time for Cars 2 characters like super-spy Finn McMissile, secret agent Holly Shiftwell, or Italian racer Francesco Bernoulli. But I was a little surprised they didn't appear anywhere in the footage; Cars 3 almost acts as if Cars 2 never happened.
Finn is a 1965 Faultless GT, a British make and model which most closely resembles the real-world Aston Martin DB5, which was dubbed "the most famous car in the world" at the 1964 New York Toy Fair for its popularity as the signature vehicle of fictional spy James Bond, of whom McMissile's personality and storyline ...

Cars 2 is Pixar's twelfth feature film and the sequel to the original 2006 film. Cars 2 was released in theatres and 3D on June 24, 2011, along with the Toy Story Toons short Hawaiian Vacation.
Anticipation for Cars 4 is high, but Disney has not addressed any details for the movie. Producers have shown openness to expanding the franchise, with potential for a new lightning McQueen narrative. Story details remain a mystery, focusing on potential Cruz Ramirez involvement and moving away from McQueen.
Mater returns in Cars 3 but in a smaller role compared to the first two films. In the first scene he is next to McQueen and tells everyone around to keep quiet so McQueen is ready for the race.
Strip "The King" Weathers (voiced by Richard Petty) is a veteran race car and racing legend. Weathers is an anthropomorphic version of Petty's 1970 Plymouth Superbird, sporting the same shade of blue and Petty's racing number, 43, as well as being a fictionalized version of him.
Like McQueen, she's not directly based on a single car, but her design elements mix and match that of a 2017 Toyota 86/Scion Fr-S and the 90s Honda Civic Del Sol.
In Cars 3, it is revealed that Mater and Holley's relationship is still going very strong and at the end of Cars 3, Mater distracts Sterling by mentioning that he has church flaps, hinting that he's someday getting married to Holley Shiftwell. He still loves her unconditionally and she still loves him unconditionally.
Lightning McQueen upon seeing Sally for the first time Sally Carrera is a major character in the Disney/Pixar Cars franchise. She is the attorney of Radiator Springs and Lightning McQueen's girlfriend.
After the events of the second film, Mater and his friends join C.H.R.O.M.E. to be trained for spy missions, being assisted by Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell.
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.
Cars 2. Miles Axlerod in Cars 2. Though at first Professor Zündapp appears to be the main villain of Cars 2 for driving the plot, it is revealed near the end of the film by Mater that Axlerod was behind everything.
Although highly talented at racing, Chick Hicks is extremely rude, arrogant, conniving, manipulative, and focused on himself and winning, like McQueen himself, but has grown impatient with losing.
Pretty much yeah. Pixar doesn't like acknowledging the majority of Cars 2 besides the World Grand Prix and I guess the dent being connected to Mater meant it was connected to the spy part of the movie (despite him getting it in Radiator Springs) and might've just took it out to ignore the film even more.
Jackson Storm is the main antagonist of Cars 3 and a major character in Cars 4:Last Call For Ripslinger. Jackson replaced Björn Anderson as the IGNTR racer. Jackson is introduced as a rookie in the racing world, where he tries his best to beat Lightning McQueen.
Lightning and Mater finally arrive at Mato's wedding at Mater's childhood home, where Lightning discovers that Mater comes from a wealthy family and that Mato's fiancé is Mateo, the cousin of his protégée and student, Cruz. Lightning confesses to Cruz that he's been uncomfortable with the trip due to his experiences.
Also John Lasseter said that Mater is this idiot-savant when it comes to minute rare car parts. The term 'idiot-savant' is an old term for someone who is an autistic savant.
