Porto Corsa is a town (possibly city) which is located in Italy in the 2011 Disney•Pixar animated film, Cars 2. It is one of the places hosting a World Grand Prix race.
Porto Corsa is known as the "Gem of the Riviera", as it is on the west coast of Italy, and wealthy people like to come to the beach or the casino located on a hill just over the water. It is also one of the places in Italy that Pope Pinion IV likes to visit while riding on the popemobile. It is also the hometown of Francesco Bernoulli, who had been competing in races around the town his whole life and learned all the twists and turns.

Porto Corsa Casino: Located on a rocky outcrop
Porto Corsa is selected by Miles Axlerod to be one of the places around the world that is hosting a competition made by him, called the World Grand Prix. To bring more promotion to the people of Italy, Axlerod chooses Francesco Bernoulli to take part among ten other racecars. Coincidentally, a group of lemons have a private meeting held in the town's casino, where their boss informs them about a plan to become wealthy by making people abandon Axlerod's fuel, allinol, along with other alternative fuels. Unknown to them, Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell use Mater to sneak into the meeting while disguised as one of the Hugos' transporter, Ivan.
Many people attend the race, including Francesco's mother and the pope of Italy. To their excitement, Francesco has lined up on pole, and leads for most of the race. However, sometime in the race, a couple of the lemons, Grem and Acer, secretly use an electromagnetic pulse generator on several of the racers who are equipped with allinol. Since an electromagnetic pulse makes allinol explode, it causes two racers, Carla Veloso and Nigel Gearsley, to spin out. At that moment, many of the spectators believe allinol is unsafe, and begin to reject it. On the last lap, Grem aims the EMP emitter at Shu Todoroki, who spins out as his engine explodes, and it soon leads to a huge crash, where Miguel Camino, Max Schnell, Raoul ÇaRoule and Rip Clutchgoneski all ram him and block the race track, also leading to Jeff Gorvette and Lewis Hamilton having to brake just in time and unable to go past. Only the other two racers are ahead of the crash, being Francesco and Lightning McQueen, as they battle for the lead. In the end, McQueen beats Francesco by just a fraction of a second. Eventually, after the race in London, the whole world learns about the lemons' plan, and that their boss is actually Axlerod.
