Meet Max Schnell, a new character in Cars 2:

Cars 2 Trailer

Max Schnell started as a humble production sedan from Stuttgart, Germany . An avid amateur racer, Max would practice alone in the back roads of the dense Black Forest —a trek that eventually caught the eye of a racing team owner. Soon Max was on a professional circuit, bearing the #4, and as his horsepower increased, he converted himself to carbon fiber, dropping his weight and getting into prime racing shape. A naturally brilliant engineer, he used logic and analytics to refine his build, and plans to approach the World Grand Prix in the same perfectly calculated manner.
