What is the name of the main villain in Pixar’s Cars 2?

Sir Miles Axlerod is the main villain in Pixar’s Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former oil baron who became an electric car and founded the World Grand Prix to promote Allinol. His public image suggests that he wants to demonstrate the fuel’s safety and encourage a global shift away from petroleum.

The film eventually reveals that Axlerod is secretly behind the plot involving Allinol, the races, and the attacks on competitors. He uses the World Grand Prix as part of a scheme designed to discredit alternative fuel and benefit his own interests.

Professor Zündapp is Axlerod’s principal scientific ally, while Jackson Storm is the major rival in Cars 3. Chick Hicks is Lightning’s antagonist in the first Cars, so these characters should not be confused with Cars 2’s central villain.
