What is the name of the antagonist in Pixar’s Cars 2 who leads the Lemons?

The story behind the answer

Sir Miles Axlerod is the Cars 2 antagonist who leads the Lemons.

Axlerod is introduced as the organizer of the World Grand Prix and a former oil tycoon who claims to have converted to electric power. His public support for Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel, hides a plan to discredit the fuel and profit from the resulting chaos.

He secretly coordinates the Lemons, a group of international criminal cars, and uses electromagnetic weapons to make Allinol-powered racers malfunction. The plot turns the World Grand Prix into a global conspiracy.

Professor Zündapp is Axlerod’s collaborator and a separate villain, while Finn McMissile and Rod “Torque” Redline are spies or agents caught up in the investigation. Their roles are distinct from Axlerod’s leadership.
