In Pixar’s Cars 2, what is the full name of the spy villain who initially poses as a billionaire?

In Pixar’s Cars 2, the spy villain who initially poses as a billionaire is Sir Miles Axlerod.

Axlerod presents himself as an inventor and environmental advocate who organizes the World Grand Prix. He promotes Allinol, an alternative fuel intended to demonstrate that racing can support cleaner transportation. The apparent environmental campaign conceals a plot involving electromagnetic pulses and cars made to become dangerous during the races.

The character is eventually revealed to be the mastermind behind the international espionage crisis. His scheme is connected to his earlier identity as a notorious anonymous racer, and the film’s climax exposes his role to Lightning McQueen, Mater, and the other agents.

Professor Zündapp is a separate villainous character in Cars 2, serving as a German scientist and operative. Finn McMissile is a British spy who works against Axlerod, so neither name identifies the film’s central hidden antagonist.
