The new Cars 3 trailer from animation giants Disney and Pixar has revealed more gorgeous-looking snippets from the film. Most notably, there's a closer look at Lightning McQueen rival, new kid on the block Jackson Storm. One of the "next generation of high-tech racers", Jackson Storm seems unbeatable  and he's cocky with it."You have no idea what a pleasure it is for me to finally beat you," the sleek, black model says to McQueen's old-school red racing car. McQueen replies, "Did you say meet or beat?"To which Storm retorts, "I think you heard me."The trailer shows us Lightning McQueen's efforts to keep up with the new technology all around him. They now use treadmills, wind tunnels, virtual reality and interactive race simulation to train/test cars, and it's something he struggles to get to grips with.The best sequence of the trailer shows a brief glimpse of McQueen apparently repairing himself in what seems to be an homage to John Carpenter's Christine. The film is out on June 16 in the US and July 14 in the UK.

FANDOM spoke to the team behind Cars 3 recently  including producer Kevin Reher, director Brian Fee and Lightning McQueen voice actor Owen Wilson  about life beyond the second sequel of one of Pixars most successful animated franchises. And with Lightning McQueen tackling ageing in the series third instalment, and battling a younger, newer breed of competitor, we wondered where the story could go from where Cars 3 leaves off. Producer Kevin Reher told us hed like to see a film focused on the exploits of newly introduced character Miss Fritter, a school bus-turned-demolition derby racer. Id like a whole movie about Miss Fritter, says Cars 3 producer Kevin Reher. Shes my favourite character. Just because Lea DeLaria was one of my castings and she was just great and shes just a crazy, nutty [with these] Maleficent horns. I just think shes the funniest character in the movie. With Reher also suggesting that Cars 3 isnt the last well see of Lightning McQueen, does this mean we could see McQueen move on from challenging for the Piston Cup to forge a whole new career in the demolition derby? As Lightning McQueen moves aside to let protg Cruz Ramirez take centre stage, it appears that McQueen is about to hang up his driving gloves to take on a trainers role in any future films. In this way, hed be following in the footsteps of his own mentor, Doc Hudson. But Owen Wilson hints that McQueens racing days might not be done yet. I feel like they left it a little bit ambiguous there at the end, he says. Like: Does this mean youre done racing? and hes like: No, Ill never be done racing. Sometimes a player becomes a player-coach so maybe hes going to go that route. He could feasibly, then, juggle competing in the demolition derby with training upcoming starlet Cruz. And Wilson, for his part, says hed love to come back for a fourth film: I love playing the character and being a part of the Pixar family. Cars 3 is out now.

The Fast and Furious franchise features cars that are just as popular as the characters, with favourites including the Toyota Supra from the first Fast and Furious flick, and the Nissan Skyline that features in 2 Fast 2 Furious.But amongst the muscle cars, pimped out drives, and souped up engines, two automobiles stand head and shoulders above the rest  Dominic Torettos 1970 Dodge Charger and Brian OConners 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse.The Dodge was built by Toretto and his father back in the day, but banished to the family garage after Doms father was killed driving it in a stock race.You cant keep a good Dodge down however, and Toretto junior ends up using the car to save his best bud Brian in The Fast and the Furious. Its pretty much destroyed at the end of that film, but Letty rebuilds it for 2009s Fast & Furious, and versions of the car appear in Fast Five, Fast and Furious 6 and Furious 7.Along the way the Dodge races through the streets of Rio, becomes embroiled in a game of chicken, is hit by both an armoured car and a prison bus, gets blown up multiple times, and is launched off the top of a car park and out the back of a plane.As for the Eclipse, Brians lean, mean, speed machine is driven around the parking lot at Dodger Stadium early in the first film, though spins out of control.Its then used in a street race that pits OConner against Toretto, but overuse of the Nitrous Oxide System means that the car very nearly falls apart. And due to that nitrous oxide, the car eventually explodes after villain Johnny Tran shoots it up. But not before the Eclipse is used to evade the police and rescue Dominic.Thanks to its lime-green exterior, the Mitsubishi may be the most memorable of all the Fast and Furious cars. But if were picking favourites, the Dodge is the best, being the toughest, coolest and most dependable of all the Fast and Furious rides, and the one car that has gone the distance.And if you want to get your hands on either car, theres a 69 Charger available in Forza Motorsport 7, out now on Xbox One, as well as a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX and a whole set of cars pulled direct from the Fate of the Furious movie, including the crazy doorless 1951 Chevy Fleetline Special.
