Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Mach5 at Comic-Con

Original - Speed Racer's Mach 5 race car from the upcoming live action motion picture. On display at Comic-Con International in San Diego, California. July, 2007.

Reason: The image should pique readers' interest in the upcoming motion picture. At the time the photo was added to Wikipedia (a year before the film's release), trailers were unavailable. The image on the Mach Five page should lead some readers to the article about the 2008 film. Unlike other images now available showing the car, this one was not an ad. People in the background illustrate the lively environment which surrounded the car but without drawing attention or intruding into the view of the car. The photo is a high quality image of high resolution, has a free license, adds value to two articles, is accurate, has an informative caption, is neutral, and has no digital manipulation other than trimming of the left and lower edges in order to center the car in the image.
