Ruling the citizens under strict laws, and banning personal freedoms including automobile transportation, Kane now faces one last obstacle: a group of hot-rod wielding rebels who call themselves the Burners.

When Kane develops a booster that increases physical abilities and eliminates fear, Chuck tries it and things start to get weird.

With Mike Chilton held in captivity and Kane's Genesis Pod moments away from being activated, the Burners must work together to fight the biggest threat they have ever faced and prevent Motorcity from being destroyed forever.

"[27] Prynoski had revealed that he had grown up worshipping car culture in Los Angeles and his inspirations for Motorcity were Dukes of Hazard and Star Wars.

Prynoski also mentioned that It was a long process, but that’s how eventually seires got made to Disney XD.”[27] Prynoski had also revealed that about 80 people had worked on the show, consisting of people from Europe or Japan, such as Art director Antonio Canobbio and show's director Juno Lee.

[62] Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the show 4 out of 5 stars; and described the series as "too dark and intense for young kids".

But she argued that "it's a rare to find an action-adventure cartoon that illustrates underlying social messages promoting awareness and activism".

She also argued that "series is intended for a slightly older audience, since name-calling and violence are routine, but are examples of positive problem-solving and critical thinking".

[63] On April 29, 2013, crew member George Krstic posted a tweet that the studio Titmouse, Inc. was having a meeting on bringing back Motorcity and Megas XLR.
