Holley Shiftwell is a major character from the 2011 animated film Cars 2. She is voiced by Emily Mortimer.
Physical appearance[]
Holley Shiftwell has a high resemblance to a Jaguar XJR-15. According to the Meet the Cars book, she is also a 2008 MT-R Mark II. Her license plate reads "HS1006", which has her initials as well as a reference to the birthday of her voice actress Emily Mortimer (October 6).
She is painted magenta-purple and has chrome rims and decals and jade green eyes. Soon at the end of Cars 2, she receives a dent on her left side after helping Mater defeat a couple of lemons. However, the dent is absent in the video games that follow the film, despite Holley claiming that she will keep it.
Personality[]
Like many spies, Holley Shiftwell is very kind and friendly. She is very good with technology, as shown when she uses an onboard computer to check on anything important, along with other gadgets that allow her to progress. She can be serious and motivated, but also sometimes naïve, such as when Finn McMissile reminded her about the saying that a spy will get whatever they find and try to escape before they can be found out when she was confused about why Mater could not tell from the photo of the lemons' mastermind. She also has uncompromising loyalty, especially towards Mater and Finn McMissile.
Holley Shiftwell is also very intelligent, telling by the fact that she was able to film the lemons driving through Porto Corsa by reprogramming the town's red traffic lights to scan them recognizably, as well as when she put a picture of Mater onto a screen showing the filming of the lemons so to give an idea of Mater going into the lemons' meeting in disguise.
