The men are described as black, with one about 5ft 10in (1.8m) tall, of slim build and wearing a green and white mask.
'Dedicated operation'
The car - registration KW65 AXK - has black wing mirrors and black alloy wheels, police said.
Last month a woman was attacked in Kings Heath with a stun device during a carjacking - the sixth such attack in as many days.
Det Sgt Toni Holl, from the investigation team at Bournvillle Lane police station, said: "We have a dedicated operation in place to address the recent spike in car robberies and have arrested several people.
"Four of those - including two youths aged 14 - have since been charged and put before the courts.
"We do not believe Sunday's incident is linked to these offences."
