Ngitshele ngomqondo wefilimu esekelwe kuyifilimu ye-cartoon ethi Cars kodwa efaka izimoto ezizishayelayo.
Imoto engazishayeli ebizwa ngokuthi uWalter (evezelwa uWill Arnett) iboshelwe ukushayela abagibeli abadakiwe ezungeze iSan Francisco ngaso sonke isikhathi sasebusuku bezama ukuhlangabezana nezindleko. Ngokuvamile abantu abahamba ngezinyawo bayamgqolozela ngoba engenamshayeli, izingane zimdwebela imidwebo, futhi abagibeli bayamgxeka ngokushayela ngokuqapha.  UWalter uphupha ngokuba imoto yomjaho efana nezimoto ezicebile azibona kuTik Tok. Baqhuba ngesivinini esikhulu eSonoma Raceway futhi baqhudelane phambi kwezigcawu ezigcwele abantu kuyilapho uWalter kufanele alandele umkhawulo wejubane ongama-30mph emigwaqweni yaseSF.  UWalter uthola ukuthi ukuphila kwezimoto zomjaho akuyona yonke into, futhi uyaqaphela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukuthi kufanele ajabule ngalokho anakho nokuthi okungenani akayena omunye walezo zimoto ezihamba ngokuhlanganyela ezingakwazi ukuzihambela zodwa edolobheni.
