*Along with [[Grem]], [[Acer]], Miles Axlerod and [[Victor Hugo]], Professor Z is playable in ''Cars 2: The Video Game'', even though they are villains, as well as all five should be residing in the London Prison, as the game takes place shortly after the second film.

*Professor Z is always referred to by his real name by Finn McMissile. However, McMissile refers to him as his nickname, "Professor Z", in the cutscene of the start of ''Cars 2: The Video Game''. And although McMissile and his voice actor, [[Michael Caine]] are British, McMissile pronounces the "Z" in Zündapp's name in the American way ("Z" in America and Canada is pronounced "zee", while in Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, it is pronounced "zed"). However, it could be that the "Z" in his name is always pronounced "zee" even in Britain (when referring to Professor Z) in that cutscene. However, it could be that all people pronounce the "Z" in his name the American way. Also, although Professor Z pronounces "missile" in the British way (miss-i-all), he pronounces "can't" in the American way. | *Professor Z is always referred to by his real name by Finn McMissile.
