A trusted source at Pixar who wishes to remain anonymous confirms that British actor Sir Michael Caine is the voice of spy car Finn McMissile in Cars 2. You can hear him in today's new trailer. This is Caine's first time working with Pixar.
Good job, commenters! I didn't recognize his voice until you pointed it out.
Some people just don't recognize voices. Michael Caine is awesome, though. I'm getting a sort of Speed Racer vibe from this movie, not to mention the obvious 007. This looks like it's going to be so much fun and so much different than the first.
I for one didn't recognize it - if you'd asked me afterward, I would have said, 'presumably one of the guys who played James Bond.'
I actually think it's a good thing when I am focusing on the character - not who recorded the lines in a recording booth in order to give the illusion of a character.
Still, congrats to those who did recognize him. Some voices I recognize instantly, or shortly after - hearing it now, I hear that it's Michael Caine, but I don't feel bad for not knowing beforehand. No one should.
I actually thought it was Timothy Dalton for a moment there... but Michael Caine is still a great choice. Emily Mortimer is also playing the voice of an unnamed purple car.

You poor thing, not being able to recognise one of the coolest people, and one of the most famous actors, in the world.
