Shu Todoroki Drives Into Cars 2

Disney has just released details on new Cars 2 character, Shu Todoroki (which HeyUGuys alerted us to and Slashfilm debuted). Check out the hi-res image and official description of the Japanese character below.

Official Description:

Shu Todoroki is a Le Motor Prototype racer representing Japan and bearing #7 in the World Grand Prix. Shu was raised at the base of the active Mount Asama volcano in Japan, and soon became a champion on the Suzuka Circuit. His sleek design sports a fiery red Ka-Riu dragon, which Shu borrowed from Japanese legend because he relates to the small, yet fierce nature of the dragon. His team legacy is filled with victories – his coach, a Mazda, was the only Japanese car to ever win at Le Mans – and Shu hopes to prove his champion-level racing on the international stage of the World Grand Prix.

UPDATE (11:45 AM): Here is the turntable video for Shu Todoroki, which is our first look at him in motion:

Wow, he looks intense! May not want to mess with him.
