Vince is the leader of the gang from Queens. He likes using the word "you's" instead of "you" or "your", and has usually been depicted as a side-antagonist along with Boost and his gang.
Cars: The Video Game
Vince and his gang (Barry, Sonny, and Lenny) came to Ornament Valley to help Chick practice. They soon got into a rivalry with Lightning. They often hang out at the Ornament Valley gas station. Vince was also interviewed by Darrell Cartrip, and he was shown to be very nervous, little more than "Hi, Ma!" left his mouth. In Story Mode, he appears as an opponent in Ornament Valley Circuit, Tailfin Pass Circuit, Chick's Challenge, Tailfin Pass GP, and Ornament Valley GP, as well as being a Speeder in the final level of Sheriff's Hot Pursuit. He is not playable in Arcade Mode, but will appear as an opponent in certain races. However, using Mods, he can be made playable.
Cars: Mater-National Championship
Vince is still around during the events of Cars: Mater-National Championship and appears in a few events, those being Fillmore's Nature Preserve, Ornament Valley Airport, Team Relay 3, The Upper Mine, and Levels 2 and 8 of Race-N-Chase. You still can't play as him, but he has been made playable through modding. He also appears on one of the posters in Luigi's Casa Della Tires.
Cars: Race-O-Rama
Vince makes a cameo that is highly similar to Otto's, he is on one of the portraits in Luigi's Casa Della Tires. However, this cameo is extremely well hidden and as a result, not everyone knows this cameo exists. Like with the previous games, he has been modded into the game as a playable character.
Cars:IGNITE Remake
While this Fangame never came to be, it was widely speculated that Vince would have been in the game as a playable character. However, that was never officially confirmed.
Livery
Vince is red and white with the number 9. In most versions of the games, he has no license plate. When it appears, it simply reads "VINCE".
Personality
Vince is extremely tough and rude, and happens to charge in his enemies' faces and force them to "Throw down, right here, right now", and will thrash anyone who ticks him off, notably pounding Barry's hood. However, he also has a timid side, getting incredibly nervous when being interviewed on Live TV.
Abilities
Vince has the highest acceleration stat of any character in Cars: Mater-National Championship, even higher than Sarge, the only playable character with a 5 accel. stat. He also is training to learn Chick Hicks' various "cheating" moves.

Trivia
- He sometimes appears in exploration mode in Ornament Valley in Cars: The Video Game.
- Although he competes in Tailfin Pass Circuit and Tailfin Pass GP in Story Mode, he won't appear in Arcade Mode in those two events.
- Very early concept art not in either game depicts him with 3 jet-like intakes with small fins, but this was turned against due to the fins taking up size and hitbox and the jets being too "over-creative". However, the intakes can still be seen on his Cars: The Video Game icon (only in some versions), they don't have fins, though.
- Vince is the only character to be the opponent in more than one Race "N" Chase level in Story Mode.
- Vince, Barry, Sonny, and Lenny tend to be "Chick Hicks' protoges" of the first game, however, despite Vince and Sonny being shown as very mean, Barry and Lenny are rather nice when they’re on their own, none of them ever seek revenge like Boost, Wingo, DJ, and Snot Rod, and don't say they need better of everything like Candice, El Machismo, and Stinger.
- Vince is the only Queens Car whose name does not end with "Y" nor have two of the same letter right before it.
- In Cars: The Video Game, Vince's turning animations are messed up, one of his pupils will pass the edge of his windshield, making him seem to have only one eye like Mike.
- Vince claims to have 500 horsepower, making him the only other character besides Lightning to have their own horsepower precisely confirmed.
- Vince is the only Queens car to not appear in any Stadium Races in Mater-National.
- In work-in-progress Mods to add him into Cars 2: The Video Game, he is known to use a hybrid model where he has the proportions of his model from the Xbox 360 games, but with a license plate, like in the Wii games.
Later Concept Art, Vince still has 2 of 3 intakes, but no fins.
