==History==
===Cars 2===
In Cars 2, Holley Shiftwell is a British desk secret agent working in Tokyo who is sent in the World Grand Prix opening ceremony to exchange important information with Finn McMissile. She quickly becomes a field operative as Finn sent her to meet another spy named Rod Redline in the bathroom. However, the latter is attacked by two lemons, Grem and Acer, and is forced to deliver a photograph to Mater. When Holley meets this one, he falls in love with her and he thinks they have a date. At the end at the movie, she tells everyone she is Mater's girlfriend and says to him that he still owes her a first date.
===Cars 2: The Video Game===
In Cars 2: The Video Game, Holley appears a playable character, unlocked from the start of the game. 
An alternate costume of her, Racer Holley, can be unlocked by earning the Agent - Second Class crest. In the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3 versions, another alternate costume, titled Cherry Blossom Holley, can be purchased and downloaded. All three versions of her are medium weights.
===Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure===
In Kinect Rush: A Disney/Pixar Adventure, she appears in the first Cars level in the end-scene, which she answers that the player is indeed going to be a great addition in Lightning McQueen's racing team, which she explains that she was observing the whole time and that was a most impressive display. Mater then introduces the player to her, explaining that she's his girlfriend. She then says that the player would make an excellent racer, but an even better spy, and they have a mission that is perfect for the player's speed and talents, which she then says that is if Lightning doesn't mind waiting, before Mater says that he can, before asking him, which he answers, "Well, who am I to interfere with British intelligence?" Holley also appears in the second level, played by one of the kids in the park. The mission takes her and the player to Tokyo, where somebody planted a bomb somewhere on the course of the Tokyo Grand Prix. Holley has a bomb detector, and the player has a new device that can disarm the bomb, but only works at very short range. So Holley and the player have to seek the course, find the bomb and get close enough to deactivate it before it explodes. The detector shows the signal near them, which Holley says that it must be somewhere nearby, before Francesco Bernoulli races past them, telling them to keep off the course as he has a race to prepare for. They then discover that the bomb was put on Francesco, who doesn't even know about it, which the player has to catch him and deactivate it. In the end-scene, Holley tells the player that she sees the bomb, and then the player deactivates the bomb, which then comes off Francesco. While Holley and the player investigate the bomb, Francesco asks them what do they want with him. Holley explains that they had no choice because that someone sabotaged him with the bomb, but he's safe now. However, Francesco doesn't believe it, saying that it is ridiculous and that he is not easily fooled, before he drives off saying that they are just trying to get into his head, but it will never work. Holley says that she doesn't know why not, and that it sounds like there's plenty of room in there, before using a gadget from her undercarriage to pick up the bomb, saying that she'll get their technicians to work analyzing the device immediately. She is also heard in the other levels when the player unlocks a new weapon that is wings for flying, which she tells the player to do gliding when a ramp comes up.

==General information==
===Physical description===
thumb|right|200 px|Turntable video of Holley's modelAccording to Meet the Cars, Holley is a 2008 MT-R Mark II powered by a 3.5-Liter Turbocharged V6 engine with 275 HP. Her 0-60 acceleration speed is 5.5 seconds, and her top speed is 160 mph. While she is a Pixar in-house design, she seems partly inspired after cars such as the 2008 Ronn Motors Scorpion, which has a similar 3.5-liter V6 engine, and the Diatto OttoVu Zagato introduced in the same year. Her vehicle type name "MT-R Mark II" is a reference to one of her main design inspirations, the 2005 TVR Tuscan Mark 2. She also has some resemblance to a 1990 Vector M12, a 2010 Jaguar CX-75, and Jaguar XJR-15. Her license plate is HS1201, which includes her name for short. The number 1201 is her voice actress Emily Mortimer's birthday (December 1). Holley is painted magenta-purple, with chrome rims and decals.
===Personality and traits===
Like many spies, Holley is very kind and friendly. She is very good with technology, as shown when she uses an on-board computer to check on anything important, along with other gadgets that allow her to progress. She can be serious and motivated, but also sometimes naive, such as when Finn 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. She’s incredibly loyal and nice to her lover and best friend, Tow Mater.
Holley 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.
===Powers and abilities===
Holley has several gadgets, such as an onboard computer, projection lamps, dual mounted trackball platforms, headlight cameras, digital read-outs, retractable wings for flight, concealed guns, an electroshock device, and a telescoping utility arm.
==== Weaponry and Gadgets ====
As a spy, Holley Shiftwell is equipped with gadgets including:
* On-board computer: Holley is equipped with a computer that can analyze spy data. It projects a hologram heads-up display as a screen and dual trackball platforms as a mouse.
* Projection lamps: Located above her headlights, they emit the hologram heads-up display.
* Dual mounted trackball platforms: Retract in the undercarriage and used to control the heads-up display, with the wheels, in the way a mouse controls a computer.
* Headlight cameras: Invisible, they transmit an image to Holley's on-board computer that can then be analyzed.
* Digital read-outs: Located on the side mirror, the screen can receive transmissions from other spies or view a map of the environment.
* Flight Afterburners: Located in the rear deck exhaust. Enables Holley to fly at fast speeds.
* Retractable Wings: Located on both sides and her rear deck. They assist her to steer while she is in flight.
Holley's front wheels are equipped with several gadgets:
* Concealed guns: One in each front wheel.
* Electroshock device: A taser-like weapon. Holley uses it to neutralize cars without damaging them.
* Telescoping utility arm: A small screwdriver-like arm that permits Holley to more precisely use the buttons of a control panel and hold small devices.

==Profiles and statistics==
===Cars 2===
*"Holley is a beautiful young British desk agent turned spy-in-training who is stationed in Tokyo. Well-educated and sharp, she knows every trick in the book (or rather, she relies on every trick in the spy manual). She is armed with all of the latest state-of-the-art spy equipment imaginable, from hidden cameras and concealed weapons to a telescoping utility arm and a holographic pop-up display. Holley is a highly motivated agent, but is fresh out of the academy, so her experience is based on lessons learned in school rather than real-life situations. When Finn McMissile requires Holley's technical expertise for his latest top-secret field operation, she finds herself pursuing a rendezvous with the most unlikely candidate -- Mater, an innocent tow truck caught up in the intrigue, who is mesmerized by the beauty of his newest best friend."

==Trivia==
*Holley's name is a reference to Holley Performance Products, Inc., a manufacturer of high-performance carburetors and fuel systems, located in Bowling Green, KY.
*Holley is a 2008 MT-R Mark II which is based on and a reference to the 2005 TVR Tuscan S Mk2 with elements from the 2008 Ronn Motor Scorpion, the 2010 Jaguar C-X75, and the 2008 Diatto OttoVu Zagato.
*Although Holley defeated Professor Z with the help of Finn McMissile in the film, she never mentioned Professor Z's name throughout the entire film since she and Zündapp doesn't know each other at all, also, her line "say it!" Is the only line she said to Professor Zündapp.
*In some LEGO Cars 2 sets that include her, Holley is more pink. 
**Coincidentally, in the 2020 die-cast mainline series Holley's paint job was more of a hot pink than magenta or purple.
*Holley's design was initially intended to be a Porsche according to concept art from The Art of Cars 2.
*She strikingly resembles the Infernus from the 2001 action-adventure game, Grand Theft Auto III, an also-fictional car.
*For unknown reasons, in the LeapFrog version of the Cars 2 game, at one brief point a cutscene shows when McQueen, Mater, the rest of the Radiator Springs gang/townsfolk, and Finn are in London, we can see that her tires somehow have been depicted with visible Lightyear white lettering, unlike in the actual film.
