Cars 3 is a 2017 American computer-animated sports comedy-adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Brian Fee in his directorial debut and written by Kiel Murray, Bob Peterson, and Mike Rich, it is the sequel to Cars 2 and the third installment of the Cars film series. It was executive produced by John Lasseter, who directed the first two Cars films. The returning voices of Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Bonnie Hunt, Tony Shalhoub, Guido Quaroni, Cheech Marin, Jenifer Lewis, Paul Dooley, Lloyd Sherr, Michael Wallis, Katherine Helmond and John Ratzenberger are joined by Cristela Alonzo, Chris Cooper, Armie Hammer, Nathan Fillion, Kerry Washington, and Lea DeLaria, in addition to a dozen NASCAR personalities. In the film, Lightning McQueen sets out to prove to a new generation of race cars that he's still at the top of his game, with the help of young technician Cruz Ramirez to prevent Jackson Storm winning the final race at Florida 500.

Talks for an third Cars film began in late 2011, after the release of its predecessor. The film entered production in 2014, with Lasseter stating that it would be a "very emotional story", similar in tone to the first one, prior to the film's release. The production team did a lot of research, mainly focused on NASCAR racers. They want the film to feel like a sports film while also focusing on McQueen realizing what their relationship meant to Doc Hudson. Randy Newman, who had worked on the first film, composed the film's score with artists such as Andra Day, James Bay, Brad Paisley and Jorge Blanco contributing tracks for the film.

Cars 3 was first screened for the NASCAR industry in Kannapolis, North Carolina on May 23, 2017, before its worldwide theatrical release on June 16, accompanied by the animated short film Lou. It grossed $383 million worldwide against its $175 million budget, becoming the lowest-grossing film of the franchise, but still a box office success. It received generally positive reviews from critics, with praise for its animation, story, and emotional depth, with many of them deeming it an improvement over its predecessor.
