The trailer is a fast-pace two-minute clip. Audience are given a breath taking teaser when Walker's character, Brian O'Conner, levels up to new, action-packed car chases together with his co-stars.
"Just when you didn't think it could get any better," was Walker most catching phrase.
The trailer highlights Walker's most explosive and stunning stunts as his character gets ready for a battle with Ian Shaw's (Jason Statham).
"One last ride" was what Vin Diesel's character, Dominic Toretto, has to say to his longtime pal.
Walker, 40, died in a car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif.
His death caused production delays.
Walker's brothers, Caleb and Cody, became part of the Furious 7 cast April to complete filming.
Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, and Elsa Pataky reprise their role, while veteran actor Kurt Russell and Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea join the cast.
Vin Diesel and other cast members reminisced Walker and the memories that they had as a "family" during the film's 13-year run.
After Walker died, Vin Diesel and Tyrese joined the actor's fans who visited the crash site to light candles and offer flowers and prayers.
"Even when that moment happened, of us losing our family and Paul, we all have significant others...or not, we all have our own immediate circle of family and friends and loved ones, but they didn't know Paul the way we knew Paul," Tyrese said.
Furious 7, the seventh installment of the Fast & Furious series is slated for release on April 3, 2015.
The Fast and the Future franchise showcases illegal street racing and heists. The first series was released in 2001 and was titled The Fast and the Furious. The first film's success spawned five sequels: 2 Fast and 2 Furious (2003), The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006), Fast & Furious (2009), Fast Five (2011) and Fast & Furious 6 (2013). Two short films was also tied with the series: Turbo-Charged Prelude (2003) and Los Bandoleros (2009). The film has earned a whopping $2.3 billion in box office receipts, making it one of Universal Studio's highest-grossing franchises of all time.
