Earlier today, Pixar’s Brad Lewis and Jay Shuster delivered a keynote address at the AutoWeek Design Forum in Detroit. They spoke about Cars 2 and offered up a few details about the upcoming film. While nothing substantial was revealed today, the two from Pixar provided some fascinating tidbits.

Still, if you would rather go in to the film knowing nothing, here is your last chance to click away.

Cars 2 Plot Details
Along with the 4 pieces of concept art for Cars 2 released by Disney/Pixar on Wednesday, we also got some more plot details for the upcoming film. Below, you will find concept art of different locales around the world, followed by brief plot descriptions from that portion of the film (and the film as a whole). They are not specific plot details, but if you would rather go into the film with zero knowledge about the plot, beware of very minor spoilers:
“CARS 2” GOES GLOBAL — Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) heads overseas next summer to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the fastest car on the planet. McQueen and his best friend Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) make a pit stop in London, but there’s no time for tea when an international spy plot entangles Mater, and McQueen must race before royalty. “Cars 2” speeds past the world’s most iconic landmarks—including London’s Big Bentley—and into theaters on June 24, 2011, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D in select theaters. ©Disney/Pixar.
