Cruz Besouro is Carla Veloso's crew chief. He appears in Cars 2, giving orders to Carla and her pitties during the three World Grand Prix events in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. He is a Volkswagen Beetle that is painted green, with Brazilian designs on his doors. His license plate reads "FSHBWL".
"You'd think being born and raised in tropical Brazil would make Cruz Besouro the most laid-back crew chief at the WGP. Not true. Although air-cooled, that hasn't stopped Cruz from being one intense little Beetle. He's been known to put 100 kilometers on his odometer in one race just by pacing back and forth while he barks instructions in the pits. On the other hand, his driver, Carla Veloso, is pretty used to it, and she always responds with a level head. Cruz may be aggressive, but his technical knowledge of racing makes him the best chief Brazil's ever known! Pra Caramba!"
