Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS 2: Miguel Camino, Max Schnell + Pixar GT Racer
Two more characters (already IDed) but now officially introduced …
Max Schnell is an ordinary German luxury sedan turned racecar. Max’s character takes inspiration from a real racing series, the DTM German Touring Car Championship, which features heavily modified Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 sedans. In the real world, these competition versions make 460 horsepower from V-8 engines and tip the scales at a lightweight 2,300 pounds.
In “Cars 2,” Max has similar workings, with carbon fiber construction to drop as much weight as possible. Max has won more races at the fictional Motorheimring than anyone in his series.
And a Spanish racer – Miguel Camino who should translate into a very cool looking diecast CAR …
AND there are at least three “mysterious” racers “on the list,” with no photos or screenshots available yet including a Maserati, Sebastian and a race car that should pretty sell out in an instant – a Pixar GT race car.
Plus a new screencap from the film – too bad there’s no scheduled playset that looks like this … how nice would it be if it could light up?
And a super, wicked, awesome tribute poster in the old, old school 60’s spy movie style …
Pixar – the studio with the midas touch … Mr. Gold Lasseter … He’s the man who’s gonna lasso you in … into to buying more CARS …

I have no problem with the watermarks;
it is so easy to find bigger versions without the marks…just follow
the links that “I-am-speed” posted or search for “Cars 2 retro”.
I am thankful that they show us something like this here on T5.
I would have missed it…dont have time to read all the sites and
blogs regarding Pixar, Cars and Disney…
Sebastian is a box-like Purple car that looks a lot like Chick Hicks. He was on that baby T-Shirt with Lightning, Jeff Gorvette, and Nigel Gearsley.
(MET: Pic here).
I don’t think so. That one is Max Schnell.
Is it possible everyone is confusing Sebastien Loeb’s car for the Raoul Car?
Max Schnell is alot darker of a Purple than that Car. He looks similar, but I think that’s someone else.
Here are THREE Cars 2 posters, including the retro version Met posted, no watermarks to complain about:

When I clicked on the image on the link I got some scareware pop up please be warned
Link still works fine for me, Firefox found nothing wrong with the link or page. I’ve got the posters saved, with one as our screen background.
I love those! Thanks for the link. I hope they print these full size like they did the cool ones from Wall-E 🙂
Can we have a link to the poster that we can print out without watermarks?
AMEN! I was just wondering to myself why you would watermark an image that’s not even yours…. The copyright to all these belong to disney…. not takefiveaday….
Is this Blake Mandeville-Anthony? 😆
The watermark is to keep the wanna be sites from grabbing our stuff and using it as their own. Maybe we could start a member’s only email newsletter where we could release things like that?
Maybe $20 per month for the enewsletter and some special member privileges? Any interest?
Sorry. Lame-O with a Capital-O explanation. The poster art is not your copyright. Watermarking content you generate yourself: no prob. Otherwise, misappropriation of ownership.
(MET: Watermark does not imply copyright or trademark nor does it indicate that).
It is implying an ownership interest, which would be an infringement in and of itself. I am assuming that Take Five has obtained authorization from Disney/Pixar to post all of these pictures with the watermark… not just the poster. If not, you may have some legal issues as it does imply an ownership interest, especially with the explanation
“The watermark is to keep the wanna be sites from grabbing OUR STUFF AND USING IT AS THEIR OWN.”
This is exactly the point, you are claiming it as your own, and exclusivity. Might be an infringement if you ask me.
(MET: The watermark refers to the file – not to the underlying art. Pretty simple concept).
In Take5’s defense they are doing a whole lot of great advertising for Mattel and Disney so I would really love to see lawyers get involved over something as frivolous as watermarked images.
As for those wanting the posters, try seeing if you can get it from the cinema itself when it is shown. Some will let you, some won’t.
I love the poster. That will be a MUST HAVE for Dad’s collection!! Eh, might pass on the cars 😉
These look awesome. Obviously Martin left the Cars designing in more than capable hands.
Er, uh, I believe it is Pixar who designed these.
The poster is really cool, except the skis look funny going side to side instead of front to back. I guess it’ll make sense when we see the movie 🙂
Ha! I didn’t notice that. You’re right, it looks kind of weird.
They’re not “skis”, as you called them, they’re called “foils”, and they are mounted that way in order to create lift, the hydrofoil effect that lifts the vehicle out of, and onto the surface of, the water.
Here’s a good representation of the design:

I actually knew that. I’m having a pair mounted on my car as we speak.
hahahahaha!
All 4 new race car launchers in the first wave are really nice.
Awesome stuff!!
