Sir Miles Axlerod is the true antagonist in Cars 2.
Cars 2
"Axlerod is a former oil baron who has sold off his fortune, converted himself into an electric vehicle and has devoted his life to finding the renewable, clean-burning energy source of the future—ultimately discovering what he believes is the fuel everyone should be using. Axlerod is also the car behind the World Grand Prix, a three-country race he created that attracts the world’s top athletes—but it’s really an excuse to show off his new wonder-fuel, Allinol."
Though at first Professor Zundapp appears to be the main villain (like Randall from Monsters, Inc.), it is revealed near the end of the film by Mater that Axlerod is actually the villain. His supposed "alternative fuel" was actually gasoline engineered to expand if hit with an electro-magnetic pulse, and was part of a plot to turn the world against alternative energy and have them rely on gasoline, bringing profits to the lemons and himself due to the fact they owned the largest untapped oil reserves in the world.
Eventually, Axlerod arranges for Zündapp and the lemon cars to implant a bomb on Mater's air filter as a backup plan to kill McQueen. Mater later discovers that the story about the conspiracy after helping McMissile and Shiftwell arrest Zündapp and the lemon cars, and confronts Axlerod for it, and his suspicions are confirmed when he forces Axlerod into deactivating the bomb with a voice command in order to prevent from killing himself. To proceed further, Mater opens Axlerod's hood, revealing the same engine (a Rover V8) of the unseen mastermind depicted in the photo, which Finn and Holley got hold from their American counterpart earlier, proving to be a perfect match. It is not told what happened to Axlerod after being exposed of his criminal plot, but it can be implied in the end of the movie, that he gets arrested on the charges of conspiracy to crime, murder, and embezzlement.
