It's clearly got a lot of kinetic energy, but if the car is on an elevated freeway, it also has some potential energy.

The kinetic energy can be calculated as E=1/2*mv2, or one-half of the mass times velocity squared. So .5*1200*10000=6,000,000 Joules of energy.

How does potential energy turn to kenetic?

Potential energy turns into kinetic energy when an object at rest begins to move. As velocity increases, KE increases and PE decreases.
