Here’s the official review:
Tow Mater and his friends The King and Ramone are charged up and ready to go with this Disney Cars Turbo Pullback Racer Set. Just pull them back, then let go to launch them forward for some high speed fun.
A bit pricey for what you get and it doesn’t always work, but when it does, this is a speedy little racer. Try to pick it up for about $10 and you’ll be in good shape.
