However, this new video has something even cooler attached to it. Can you say new Cars 2 footage?
There has been a Twitter account set up called ChromeLeaks, which has sent out a few mysterious tweets:

For you eagle-eyed viewers out there, you will notice something during the video that will help you come across brand new footage of Cars 2.
