New Cars 2 Trailer, Character Specs Released

Pixar’s new money-maker, Cars 2, is on schedule to arrive during the summer season on June 24th and is jam-packed with new characters speaking just about every accent that bends elementary English to its braking point.

That means there is just over a month left unit the animation hits theaters, so it’s the perfect time for a new trailer to be released.

Pixar has also been kind enough to reveal all the specs on all the fast-pacing cars in the movie (which we can show you thanks to the efforts of Cars.com), and it turned out that our hero McQueen puts out a meaty 750 horsepower, which is enough for a 0 to 60 mph (98 km/h) time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 200 mph (321 km/h). Why reveal horsepower for fictional characters? Well, there is a game coming, and people like that sort of things.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
