The dreaded Victor Hugo is the head of the Hugo crime family. Sure he's known to break down quite often, has leaky seals and gaskets, and is still waiting on major replacement parts to get him back on the road again, but Mr. H has got [[Karl Haulzemoff|Karl]] to haul him and [[Ivan]] to tow him wherever he needs to go.

[[File:VictorHugoCars2.png|thumb|left|220px|Victor listens to his boss's words.]]
In ''[[Cars 2]]'', Victor and a group of Hugos travel to [[Porto Corsa]] to attend a secret meeting with the Gremlin, Pacer and Trunkov families. Before Victor arrives at [[Casino di Porto Corsa|the casino]] in [[Karl Haulzemoff]], [[Holley Shiftwell]] tasers his other transporter [[Ivan]] to allow for [[Mater]] to take Victor into the casino and sneak into the meeting in disguise, while [[Holley Shiftwell|Holley]] and [[Finn McMissile]] view the meeting from an invisible camera placed on Mater. At the meeting, Victor and the lemons learn from their [[Miles Axlerod|boss]] that in order to pay the world back for making fun of them, they shall sell all of their oil from a secret [[Oil Rig|oil reserve]] once the [[World Grand Prix]] is declared to no longer be run on [[Allinol]] and every car will shun alternative fuel. However, once Grand Prix racer [[Lightning McQueen]] announces that he will still use [[Allinol]] for the race in [[London]], the lemons all hatch a plan to kill him.


Victor is the head lemon of the Hugo family, being referred to as "the boss" by fellow Hugos. During [[Cars 2]], Victor uses Ivan, a blue tow truck, as his own personal transportation towing him place to place instead of having to drive on his own. He attends the meeting with the other main heads of the three lemon families (Gremlin, Pacer, Trunkov) in [[Porto Corsa]] with [[Professor Zündapp|Professor Z]] to discuss their evil plans about discrediting the [[Allinol]] by using the [[WGP Camera|electromagnetic pulse generator]] (disguised as a TV camera) to crash out the racers in the [[World Grand Prix]] that use the gas, and ensure that all cars keep using conventional fuel to secure the profits of their "lemon" organization who managed to secure the largest unexplored oil resources in the world.
In [[London]], Victor, [[Tubbs Pacer]], [[Vladimir Trunkov]], [[J. Curby Gremlin]] and [[Professor Zündapp]] prepare for a bomb they have planted to kill both [[Lightning McQueen|McQueen]] and [[Mater]], only for [[Finn McMissile|Finn]] and [[Holley Shiftwell|Holley]] to chase after [[Professor Zündapp]] and rescue [[Lightning McQueen|McQueen]] and [[Mater]]. Shortly, Victor and every other lemon corner [[Finn McMissile|Finn]], [[Holley Shiftwell|Holley]], [[Lightning McQueen|McQueen]] and [[Mater]] to prevent them from escaping, but all of [[Lightning McQueen|McQueen]] and [[Mater]]'s friends arrive to help them fight the lemons. Ultimately, Victor and the rest of the lemons are all arrested by the police for their crimes, such as crushing [[Leland Turbo]] into a cube, torturing [[Rod Redline]] with Allinol use, and fully sabotaging the World Grand Prix.


Near the end of the film, Victor is arrested in [[London]] with his fellow lemons.
