Which character is revealed as the villainous spy in Pixar’s Cars 2?

Sir Miles Axlerod is revealed as the villainous spy in Pixar’s Cars 2.

Axlerod presents himself as a former oil baron who became an electric-car advocate. He organizes the World Grand Prix, an international racing event intended to promote Allinol, a supposedly clean alternative fuel. The film later reveals that he has secretly planned the crisis surrounding the race.

His scheme involves using modified cameras and electromagnetic technology to make Allinol-powered cars appear to explode. The plot is designed to discredit alternative fuel and increase demand for oil. Axlerod ultimately exposes himself when Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell uncover the conspiracy.

Cars 2 combines the racing world of the first film with a spy-adventure structure. Lightning McQueen remains central, but Mater becomes entangled in international espionage. Sir Miles Axlerod is distinct from Professor Zündapp, another antagonist who works on the technical side of the plot.
