Story Overview:
Lightning McQueen is older, wiser, and still chasing the thrill of the open road. Radiator Springs is thriving, but change is in the air when a new international racing league invites drivers from every corner of the world — from electric speedsters to off-road champions.

When Cruz Ramirez becomes the league’s newest rising star, McQueen steps into a new role as mentor and co-driver, traveling with her across continents: the neon circuits of Tokyo, the dusty tracks of South America, and the icy highways of Scandinavia.

But an unpredictable new rival — a cutting-edge AI-powered racer — threatens to rewrite the future of racing. As McQueen faces the reality of legacy, purpose, and letting the next generation shine, he discovers that the greatest victories aren’t always won on the track.
