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 is 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's 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.

Bio

Finn McMissile was first seen in the film at the Oil Rig, under a mission to figure out what was going on at the lemons' meeting. After accidentally letting out flame from his tailpipe, he is noticed and is chased through the oil rig, until he jumps off the helipad, and falls down to the ocean below. He then lets out his hydrofoil gear from his undercarriage, and the lemons chase him across the ocean. One of the boats shoots, and Finn fakes his own death by going underwater and releasing four tires from below, implying that he had been destroyed.

After talking things over with Holley Shiftwell at the Tokyo race party, Finn learned that an American agent was on his way, to bring extremely important information about the camera and its uses. However, the American agents' plan was foiled when he was ambushed and captured by Lemons, but before he was taken, he passed along his tracking beacon to Mater. Since the device was now on Mater, Finn thought that he was the American spy.

Finn introduces himself in the Haneda Airport scene, where he and Mater are chased by Acer and Grem throughout the runaway.

Towards the end of the film, the mystery is solved, and Miles Axlerod is turned in and arrested, and Finn is not seen again.

Later, in Cars 2: The Video Game, Finn re-appears running holograms and training with the other characters.
