Disney Pixar CARS 2: The Five CARS Families …
The Five Families that run the CARS underworld … the Corleone, Barzini, Tattaglia, Stracci, and Cuneo families … er, whoops, wrong franchise …
The Trunkov’s, Pacer’s, Hugo’s, Grem’s and Professor Zundapp.
Vladimir Trunkov … & family.
Tubbs Pacer (no diecast info as of yet) heads the Pacer Group.
Victor Hugo heads the Hugo family.
Ivan is his driver …
There is also the Gremlin crime syndicate – headed by J. Curby Gremlin …
And Professor Zundapp who have a whole slew of various-color henchman – unlike the other families where everyone dresses in black.
Professor Zundapp’s henchman will be covered in Part II of this post.
And the following “proto’s” have been shown off so they should be coming soon? Next 6 months? Then the crime spree begins?
Vlad (apparently Petrov is Guido – never go against the family and never get a diecast release before the head guy. He’s been trying to hide from his brother by naming himself everything under the Sun including Eric Guftasen).
Victor Hugo – he does look like an ill fitting thing made of resin. 🙂
And Don Crumlin.
That leaves only Tubbs Pacer unaccounted for.
It’s Vlad & Tubbs.
In this case, crime doesn’t pay but will charge you for the zinc and plastic … these look good to eat like a cannoli.

So if each boss has 4 black henchman, I count 19 REPAINTS and 2 new castings (Hugo and Ivan).
Anyone else notice that Vladimir is listed as wanted in New Rearendia, Rip’s homeland? Gotta love Easter Eggs…
J. Curby Gremlin is too!
Victor looks like he has some sort of extra tyre thing going on in the diecast version but not in the movie screen shot. Canon?
I’m with Luca on this one – definitely NEED the lemons. Is it possible that the gloss black dudes are the same henchman cars that were multicolored and banged up in the earlier scenes in the movie? Like maybe they got new paint jobs as the oil money started coming in?
MATTEL!!! Now is the time to do 5-pack.. BUT… As follow: Hugo group; The leader with other family dress in black. Same with Grem family and Trunkov family. I am convinced collectors won’t have any issues buying “repeat cars” this way… Am I right??? Unfortunately this will never happen… Am I right???
Great set concept, my kids love the lemons much more than the race cars. For Kohl’s they could do a set featuring Karl, Victor Hugo’s chauffeur (black transport truck), and a couple of Yugo’s, um Hugo’s.
Strictly speaking, the Gremlin, Trunkov and Hugos are crime Families, the Pacers seem to be a gang.
i n…
i nee……….

Quite nice… bring on the lemons… if they release several new ones in one package to help us add to our collection is it… lemonade?
Lemon line – a 10 pack would be fun.
