00: Dick Dastardly and Muttley in The Mean Machine. The villains of the series, in a rocket-powered car with an abundance of concealed weapons. Dastardly would concoct a plan or set a trap once he got into the lead of the race to make sure no other car would catch up to him. Every plan of his failed, however. As a result, he could have easily won each race had he just kept on driving and had not attempted to cheat. Ironically, many tricks Dastardly uses are not unlike the ones the other racers use. However, he quite proudly calls them cheating.

01: The Slag Brothers (Rock Slag and Gravel Slag) in The Bouldermobile. Cavemen (covered with hair like Cousin Itt from The Addams Family; their design was recycled for Captain Caveman) driving a wheeled boulder. The Slag Brothers sometimes reconstructed their car from scratch just by using their clubs on any large boulder that was available. On one occasion the car was shown to be using an unseen, living creature as its engine.They can speed up by hitting the car with their clubs.

02: The Gruesome Twosome (Big Gruesome and Little Gruesome) in the Creepy Coupe. Monsters (Big spoke like Boris Karloff and Little like Peter Lorre), driving a car with a belfry which housed a dragon and various ghosts/ creatures/ witches on broomsticks etc. The Creepy Coupe was able to fly short distances through use of the dragon's wings and has bats constantly circling the bellfry. Also,they can summon bats and storms to help them fend off the other cars.

03: Professor Pat Pending in the Convert-a-Car. A scientist in a car that can change into just about anything that moves. This ability often helps him gain first place. He's sometimes seen as a rival of Dick Dastardly and Muttley, since his car is equipped with a lot of gadgets, just like the Mean Machine, although they are more defensive, or merely speed-boosting, in nature.

04: Red Max in the Crimson Haybailer. An air ace (loosely based on WWI German aviator, Max Immelmann) in a car/plane hybrid that was capable of limited flight, usually just enough to leapfrog over racers or obstacles in its path. The Haybailer also had a machine gun mounted, which was sporadically used. The Haybailer's transformation from car to car/plane hybrid seems to have significantly weakened its flying ability, and Max often has to bail out when the Haybailer breaks down.

05: Penelope Pitstop in the Compact Pussycat. A female racer driving a pink feminine car with personal grooming facilities which would sometimes backfire on the other racers, shampoo foam hitting the faces of the other racers, in one example. She always has time to relax and worry about her looks, because her car is like a beauty salon.

06: Sergeant Blast & Private Meekly in the Army Surplus Special (AKA The Surplus Six). Two soldiers racing an army tank/jeep hybrid. The Army Surplus Special made use of its tank facilities while racing, including its cannon.The Army Surplus Special didn't win many races.

07: The Ant Hill Mob in the Bulletproof Bomb (AKA the Roaring Plenty), led by Clyde, with Danny, Kurby, Mac, Ring-A-Ding, Rug Bug Benny, and Willy. Gangsters in a 1920s saloon car. They re-appeared with the wingmen wearing blue outfits and had name changes ( Dum Dum, Pockets, Snoozy, Softy, Yak Yak, and Zippy) and also a new living car Chugga-Boom in the spinoff The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. Although he is sometimes rude to the rest of the gang, Clyde actually cares for them. In one episode, when the rest of the gang was stuck in the Creepy Coupe, Clyde was menacing the Gruesomes: "Alright,you Creeps, where are my boys?" The gang drove in car number 7 and were pint-sized characters, a reference to the seven dwarfs. Their usual method of improving the speed of their car involved adding their leg-power to it.

08: Luke and Blubber Bear in the Arkansas Chuggabug. A hillbilly who sleeps during most of the races, with his feet on the steering wheel, and a nervous bear in a wooden buggy driven by a coal-fired range. Blubber often shakes and wakes up Luke, who always says: "Blubber, what in tarnation is goin' on here?" or "What in tarnation is that?".

09: Peter Perfect in the Turbo Terrific (AKA The Varoom Roadster). A jock (he had a crush on Penelope, so often stopped to help) driving a drag racer that often falls to bits. He always stops to say hello to Penelope. His car is likely the least resistant in the races, usually breaking down right after he makes a remark on its reliability. On one occasion,the pieces got stuck in Penelope's hair dryer. She said: I'm sorry about that, Peter honey. But I have all of the pieces. Perhaps you can put them together again?" In development, the car was called the Varoom Roadster, a name used in the Gold Keybcomic book series.

10: Rufus Ruffcut and Sawtooth in the Buzz Wagon. A lumberjack and a beaver in a wagon with buzzsaws for wheels, which gave it the ability to cut through almost anything, damaging or destroying the object in the process. Rufus is sometimes seen as a rival to the Slag Brothers, as they not only get their car destroyed in this way frequently, but also reconstruct their car with ease.
