Disney-Pixar has released its first official trailer for Cars 3 – a sure-to-be summer hit coming out June 16th. Lightning McQueen sets out to prove to a new generation of racers that he’s still the best race car in the world. Helping him to do that is director Brian Fee and a voice cast including Owen Wilson, Armie Hammer, Cheech Marin, Bonnie Hunt – and yeah, Larry the Cable Guy as “Mater”. Take a look:

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician with her own plan to win, inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!
