Plot

In a world populated by anthropomorphic cars, the Dinoco 400, the final race of the Piston Cup season begins a rivalry between seven-time champion Strip "The King" Weathers, consistent runner-up Chick Hicks, and talented but arrogant rookie Lightning McQueen. At the back of the field, Lightning avoids a multi-car crash caused by Chick. While the other cars pit for new tires, he stays out to take the lead, which backfires when his rear tires blow out on the last lap. Chick and The King catch up, resulting in a three-way tie. The tiebreaker race is scheduled for one week later at the Los Angeles International Speedway. Lightning is desperate to win the race, not only to be the first rookie to win the Piston Cup, but also because it would allow him to leave the unglamorous sponsorship of Rust-eze, a bumper ointment company, and take The King's place on the prestigious Dinoco team. However, he struggles to work with others due to his selfishness, which has caused him to fire three crew chiefs and have his pit crew quit after the race.

Eager to get to California as soon as possible, Lightning pushes his transporter, Mack, to travel all night long. While Lightning is sleeping, Mack nods off and is startled awake by a gang of delinquent tuner cars, causing Lightning to fall out the back of the trailer and onto the road. Lightning wakes up in the middle of traffic and speeds off the highway in search of Mack. Instead, he ends up in the rundown desert town of Radiator Springs, where he is chased by Sheriff and inadvertently damages the pavement of the main road. The next day, Lightning is ordered by the town judge and medical doctor, Doc Hudson, to leave town immediately, but the local lawyer, Sally, requests that Lightning should instead be assigned community service to repave the road by a machine, to which Doc reluctantly agrees. Desperate to get to California, Lightning repaves the road shoddily in a rush to leave. However, Doc is unsatisfied, and he challenges Lightning to a race on the condition that if he wins, he can leave; Lightning loses and is forced to start all over again.

During this time, Lightning begins to warm up to the town and befriends several of its residents, including rusty tow truck Mater, tire vendor Luigi, and his assistant Guido. Lightning learns how Radiator Springs was once a popular stop along U.S. Route 66 until it was bypassed with the construction of Interstate 40 and mostly forgotten, and Doc was the Fabulous Hudson Hornet, a three-time Piston Cup champion whose career ended from a devastating crash in 1954. Lightning bonds with Sally, who found happiness when she gave up a fast life in Los Angeles to live in Radiator Springs, and now dreams of putting the town back on the map. Lightning eventually repairs the road, reinvigorating the town's residents, and decides to spend an extra day in Radiator Springs, but his time there is cut short when Mack and the media (including helicopters) descend on the town. Lightning is reluctantly forced to leave in time for the race, while Sally expresses her disappointment with Doc upon discovering that he was responsible for alerting off the media to Lightning's whereabouts. She and the others, dismayed about the unexpected departure of their new friend, go to sleep, while Doc quickly regrets his actions.

At the race, as he couldn't say goodbye to his new friends, Lightning races distractedly and ends up one lap behind. He is then surprised to discover that Doc, having a change of heart, has taken over as his crew chief, and most friends from Radiator Springs are helping in the pit. Inspired and recalling tricks he learned from Doc and his friends, Lightning manages to recover and vaults into the lead. On the final lap, Chick performs a PIT maneuver and sends The King into a dangerous crash. Not wanting The King's career to end the same way as did Doc's, Lightning stops just short of the finish line and drives back to push The King over the line to finish his last race while Chick wins the race and the Piston Cup. As a result, the crowd and media angrily condemn Chick's victory but praise Lightning's sportsmanship. Tex offers Lightning the Dinoco sponsorship, but he declines and insists on staying with Rust-eze out of loyalty for their past support. Back at Radiator Springs, Lightning reunites with Sally and announces that he will be setting up his racing headquarters there, putting the town back on the map.

In a post-credits scene, Minny and Van, a couple trying to find the Interstate, are shown lost in the middle of the desert.
