Ivan (pronounced Eeván) is the quaternary antagonist of Cars 2 and one of Victor Hugo's workers.
History
Cars 2
In Cars 2, Ivan is the tow truck who works for Victor Hugo. He is Victor's personal transportation, towing him place to place. He also serves as a bodyguard. During the film, Mater disguises himself as Ivan to infiltrate the lemon meeting being held in Porto Corsa to get info. Holley Shiftwell tases Ivan before this so he doesn't blow their cover. He later regains consciousness and captures Holley. When Mater was trying to get Lightning McQueen's attention in a crowd, the lemons grab him with Ivan taking his place. He was last seen near the end of the film trying to attack McQueen only to be taken out by Mater and arrested in London with all the other lemon employers.
Cars 2: The Video Game
While Ivan himself doesn't actually appear in Cars 2: The Video Game, he only appears as one of the skins/paint jobs for Mater like he did in the film. It is labeled as "Mater Ivan".
Physical description
Ivan is a 1983 Hookov H9 tow truck. He is painted blue with a red front bumper and tow hook and cable.
Bio
Meet the Cars
- Most tow trucks just look tough, but Ivan is really tough. From his front grille to his rear hook, he's built solid. What else would you expect from Victor Hugo's personal chauffeur? The rumor that he demolished a subcompact with one drop of the tow boom may sound preposterous, but it's absolutely true. Still, every tough truck has a weakness and for Ivan it's helping a pretty sports car with a flat tire. All she has to do is give a wink and a shy smile, and he's ready with "roadside assistance".

Trivia
- According to IGCD, he is based on a 1956 Chevrolet Task-Force 4100.
- Ivan's model is almost the same as Mater's, with their differences: Ivan has a grille (mustache), his hood is higher, doesn't have buck teeth, and shares Mack's same exact style of rims, even on his 1:55 scale model.
- Despite being dual-rear-wheeled, the rear wheels are the same as the front, which is a lie.
- Despite the design taking inspiration from a 1950s style, his model year is actually 1983. Although that actually is a thing, implying that he may be Russian, and could be rather based on a ZIL-130 and/or GAZ-52/53.
- For some reason, those two did not even have tow truck versions yet Ivan is anyways.
