In Pixar's Cars 2, what is the name of the secret weapons scientist villain?

Professor Zündapp is the secret weapons scientist villain in Pixar's Cars 2.

Professor Zündapp is a small German automobile based on the Zündapp Janus microcar. He works with Sir Miles Axlerod and helps develop the electromagnetic weapon used in the film's plot. The weapon is designed to make Allinol-powered cars appear dangerous during the World Grand Prix.

Zündapp operates behind a conspiracy involving a group of lemons, old and unpopular cars who want revenge against the wider automotive world. His mechanical appearance, monocle, and German identity make him visually distinct from the British spy Finn McMissile and the American agent Holley Shiftwell.

Cars 2 expands the series from a small-town racing story into an international spy adventure. It visits locations including Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. Professor Zündapp is a supporting villain, while Axlerod functions as the conspiracy's public-facing mastermind.
