Miles Axlerod secretly leads the plot against the World Grand Prix in Pixar’s Cars 2.
Axlerod presents himself as a former oil baron who has converted to clean energy. He creates the World Grand Prix to promote Allinol, an alternative fuel, while publicly claiming that the event will demonstrate the fuel’s safety and performance.
The film later reveals that Axlerod is the mastermind behind the conspiracy. He uses electromagnetic pulses to make Allinol-powered cars malfunction, intending to discredit alternative fuel and preserve the importance of petroleum.
Cars 2 shifts the franchise from Radiator Springs to an international spy adventure. Mater is mistaken for a secret agent, while Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell investigate the plot. Michael Caine voices Finn, and Eddie Izzard voices Miles Axlerod.
