Apple Unveils Exclusive Cars 2 Triptych Poster

Apple has exclusively debuted a monstrous Cars 2 Triptych poster that is as stunning as it is huge. It includes artwork from the four major countries that the characters drive through: Japan, England, France, and Italy. There are also some nice clues to the storyline of the film. Read on and take a look at the hi-res image.

Make sure to click the image to view it in its original size and take in all of its small details.

This is our first look at Holley Shiftwell stretching her wings. Her flying ability had been hinted at in film descriptions and interviews with the filmmakers, but seeing her off the ground for the first time is pretty great.

The triptych poster seems to show off many of the characters that have been rolled out over the past few months, but some are also seen for the first time. While the famous double-decker buses have been seen in concept art, until now we have not seen actual images of them. Also, look closely and you will also notice some of the villainous characters, such as Acer and Grem, who look to be up to no good!

Cars 2 hits theaters on June 24!
