Disney/Pixar has just posted images of three brand new characters that will be seen on the racetrack in Cars 2. From the looks of it, they will probably be competing against Lightning McQueen in the different races located around the world.

The images are not hi-res and the characters do not have descriptions just yet. The Cars Showcase on the Cars 2 Facebook page, which was the source of these images, has blank fields where the character descriptions normally reside. If I had to call it, we will probably see high-resolution images and descriptions for these three later today. Stay tuned.

Update 1 (3:30 PM): Due to a glitch on the Cars 2 Facebook page, the images were released before they were meant to be. Out of respect for Disney/Pixar, I have removed the images. I am sure we will see them again soon!

Update 2 (8:00 PM): Disney/Pixar has unveiled brand new character Carla Veloso. Click here to view hi-res image and video.
