And then, beyond expectation, we see their cars flying off from a plane, parachutes flailing, and ended up racing towards a high-tech armed bus. The blood-pumping scenes further showed a woman getting rescued by Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker) and the crew.

More car maneuvering and cliff-hanging, and then the sequel's main antagonist, Ian Shaw (Jason Statham) introduced himself to Toretto. Shaw is Owen Shaw's sibling seeking revenge on Toretto's "family" for the death of his brother.

"One last ride" – the trailer then shifted with the rest of the team doing their thing in some Middle Eastern location.

Aside from Diesel and Walker, Furious 7 will once again feature the acts of Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson, and more others.

Also reported to appear in the movie are names including Djimon Hounsou and Kurt Russell.

For those wondering, after the death of Walker in November 2013, the film was completed with the help of his brothers Cody and Caleb standing in for the star.

"Caleb and Cody are helping us complete some remaining action for their brother and fill in small gaps left in production," the movie's official Facebook page announces. "Having them on set has made us all feel that Paul is with us too."

Directed by James Wan, "Fast and Furious 7" is set to race over the theaters on April 3, 2015.
