In Pixar’s Cars 2, who is the villain behind the World Grand Prix conspiracy?
Answer
Miles Axlerod
Miles Axlerod is the villain behind the World Grand Prix conspiracy in Pixar’s Cars 2.
Axlerod is introduced as a former oil tycoon who claims to have become the first car to complete a world tour using alternative fuel. He presents the World Grand Prix as an international showcase for Allinol, the fuel used by the competing racers.
The plot later reveals that Axlerod has organized the conspiracy and is using electromagnetic pulses to make Allinol-powered cars malfunction. The scheme is designed to discredit alternative fuel and increase demand for oil.
Professor Zündapp assists Axlerod and supplies the weapons used in the plot, but he is not the mastermind. Finn McMissile is a British spy working against the conspiracy, while Francesco Bernoulli is one of the racers competing in the event.
