I saw some clips from this film tonight on ET. Not sure if any clips are out anywhere, have not tried to look. I guess this is the trailer they showed. Looks very CGI-ish, that is the action of the racing is very much in line with a cartoon verse reality. Probably a good thing they stay in a cartoon universe. Colors are bright, there are camera pans that fly around the characters and cars and the tracks look so unreal.

As far as the car's design, from that one still image, I'd agree that it's a pretty good interpretation. But there are compromises. The wheel arches are not correct and the main crease line along the body side does not follow the cartoon version. But overall, pretty good.
