New Cars 2 Characters: Rod "Torque" Redline + Siddeley!

Cars 2 News

Finn and Holley aren’t the only spies in Cars 2

As the character rollout continues we meet Rod "Torque" Redline, an American secret agent with an interesting connection to Mater. We’re also treated to Siddeley’s official description although the spy-jet should be familiar to those who have seen the film’s official trailer.

Official Description: "Rod “Torque” Redline is considered by many as the greatest American spy in the world. Recruited after the Cold War for both his brains and brawn, Torque is a tough-as-nails Detroit muscle car with a mastery of disguises. In his latest deep-cover operation, he obtained vital information about the plot to sabotage the World Grand Prix. So Rod plans a rendezvous with his British counterparts to share his discoveries at the World Grand Prix welcome reception in Tokyo, Japan. But with the bad guys hot on his tailpipe, Rod is forced to ditch the intel early and with the first party guest he sees — a rusty American tow truck named Mater."

Official Description: "Siddeley is a state-of-the-art British twin-engine spy jet. At 176 feet from nose to tail and an impressive 157-foot wingspan, the super sleek silver-bodied Siddeley streaks through international skies at record-breaking mach 1 speeds. Outfitted with all the latest in high-tech spy equipment, including cloaking technology, defensive weaponry and afterburners, Siddeley is Finn [McMissile]’s steadfast partner-in-fighting-crime around the globe."

Siddeley and Rod "Torque" Redline are set to make their big debut when Cars 2 hits US theatres on June 24.
