Passing data from tableView to ViewController in Swift

Question

I have an App that i'm trying to adapt exactly how i want

I have been following a Youtube tutorial of Seemu Apps to make it but I need to finish it adding an optional ViewController

This app has 2 tableViews showing vehicles and if we click in one row of the first tableView then second tableView will show us a list of selected vehicles.

Here is what we have until now: (image link , because i haven't got ten points reputation on stackOverFlow)

All is running perfect, but i want to be able to display information in an optional detailViewController (label with a detailed description of each vehicle and a bigger image of this ) depending of which vehicle we click in the secondTableViewControlle (or modelViewController in the App) exactly how i was following in the tutorial between tableViews

i know that we need to passing data through prepareForSegue method , i have understood this making the steps in the tutorial but when we have 2 tableviewControllers

For example : if we want to display a last viewController with information of Ferrari 458 and a great picture of this car

What do we need to do exactly to show information of each vehicle?

PD : I'm beginner in the programming world, maybe i would need to see it in a very simple way

The whole code:

Try this.

ModelViewViewController

var selectedImage:String?
var selectedLabel:String?

func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        println("Row \(indexPath.row)selected")
        selectedImage = self.tableData[indexPath.row]
        selectedLabel = self.tableData[indexPath.row]
        performSegueWithIdentifier("detailView", sender: self)  
    }

    override func prepareForSegue(segue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: AnyObject?) {


        if(segue.identifier == "detailView") {
            var vc = segue.destinationViewController as DetailViewController 
           vc.img = selectedImage
           vc.lblDetail = selectedLabel
        }      
    }

class DetailViewController: UIViewController {                
    @IBOutlet var imgDetail: UIImage!                
    @IBOutlet var lblDetail: UILabel!
    var img:String?

override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()   
        // Do any additional setup after loading the view.

      imgDetail = UIImage(named: img)
    }

This should work.
