Errors

Although the book serves as an guide for the film, the Essential Guide for Cars 2 is filled with misinformation that does not align with the final product and promotional material. This most likely means that the book was written with a earlier draft of Cars 2 instead of one that was closer to the final release.

These errors include:

  • Racers top speeds such as McQueen being labeled at 220mph (Francesco's top speed), Raoul at 200mph (McQueen, Miguel, and Jeff's top speed), and Shu Todoroki and Jeff Gorvette inexplicably having their top speeds be 250mph.
    • Other top speed errors include Finn McMissile's being labeled at 180mph, and Acer and Grem having top speeds of 150mph.
  • Francesco's hometown being Monza instead of Porto Corsa.
    • However, later in the book that focuses on Francesco notes Porto Corsa being his hometown, but his stats still state that he is from Monza.
  • Rip's hometown simply being "New Rearendia" instead of Wheeli.
