It’s a British invasion in this week’s Cars 2 character reveal.
As we inch closer to the sequel’s release date, it looks like we’ll be seeing a lot more faces each week. Get ready for five brand new cars from across the pond!
Name: The Queen (voice of Vanessa Redgrave)
Official Description: "With the final stage of the World Grand Prix racing through the historic streets of London, England, the Queen is quietly elated she was invited to preside over the finish line by Sir Miles Axlerod. Painted in shades of the most royal blues and never without her jeweled crown, the Queen is the definition of decorum and regality, but that 
doesn’t mean she doesn’t enjoy a bit of first-rate competition!"
Name: Prince Wheeliam
Official Description: "Prince Wheeliam of England is an avid racing fan. He can’t believe his luck that the final race of the one-of-a-kind World Grand Prix is happening on the streets of London. Though he must remain impartial when by his grandmother the Queen’s side, he is privately rooting for his fellow Brits Lewis Hamilton and Nigel Gearsley to cross the finish line first."
Name: Sargeant Highgear
Official Description: "Sgt. Highgear is a member of the regiment assigned to London’s landmark Buckingham Palace. With a recognizable tall bearskin cap atop his scarlet body, he stands guard at his sentry box with pride and conviction."
Name: Chauncy Fares
Official Description: "No one knows the sites, streets or shortcuts of London better than the jovial Chauncy Fares, a quintessential London black cab."
Name: Topper Deckington III
Official Description: "Topper Deckington III is a classic British 
double-decker bus in a vivid shade of red who relishes in his daily Killswitch route through London’s famous bustling Petroldilly Circus."
Catch the London lap of the World Grand Prix when Cars 2 premieres on June 24.

How does a Black Cab / Taxi and a Bus work in the world of Cars?
“Prince Wheeliam”. I know I’m not the only one who finds this funny. Is he voiced by Prince William?
What a stupid first comment , in that case how does any previous car in cars work? They have doors too….
First comment isn’t stupid, I see where he’s coming from. Particularly with the description of the bus – “relishes in his daily Killswitch route”. It doesn’t look like other cars can fit inside him, so does he does drive around London every day by himself? I’m going to guess that both the taxi and the bus simply have the other cars follow them like a tourguide. That might not be it though. So it’s a legitimate and interesting question!
