What is the name of the villainous car voiced by Eddie Izzard in Pixar’s Cars 2?

Sir Miles Axlerod is the villainous car voiced by Eddie Izzard in Pixar’s Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former oil baron who became an electric vehicle and organized the World Grand Prix. He promotes Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel, as part of the event’s international publicity campaign.

The film later reveals that Axlerod is secretly behind the plan to make Allinol-powered cars explode when exposed to electromagnetic radiation. His scheme is intended to discredit alternative fuel and restore the dominance of petroleum-based energy. The reveal makes him the central antagonist of the spy plot.

Sir Miles Axlerod is voiced by English comedian and actor Eddie Izzard. He is sometimes confused with Professor Zündapp, another Cars 2 villain who helps develop the electromagnetic weapon. Finn McMissile, by contrast, is one of the film’s heroes.
