Zil (Russian: Зил) is a conceptual character in Cars 2. Originally the main antagonist, he was replaced by Miles Axlerod and Professor Zündapp.
History
Not much is known about Zil, but it has been revealed that early during the development of Cars 2, Zil was conceived as the main antagonist of the film, being behind the Lemons' plot to turn the entire world against alternative fuels and make money out of it. An alternate opening for the film, storyboarded back when Zil was set to be the main antagonist, at deleted scene Prague, has Agent Heeley being chased by the Lemons while trying to contact Finn McMissile until he hides in a dumpster. However, just as he believes that he is safe, Heeley discovers the wrecks of many other cars before the Lemons appear and a crane grabs him to then toss him into a car compactor. As Heeley gets his tires busted, Zil appears from the shadows and asks Heely where is Finn McMissile, but Heeley refuses to tell him, vowing that Finn would stop him. Zil is unmoved and turns around to wait for Healy to be destroyed, saying they will see the results before Healy is destroyed.[1]
While not directly appearing, in the deleted scene Oktoberfest, he orders 3 lemons to hunt down and kill an unnamed agent, which they succeed in. Like in the final film, Mater is mistaken by both the Lemons and the unnamed agent to be an American spy.
While once again not directly appearing in the deleted scene Meet Finn, he orders Tomber (one of the lemons from Oktoberfest who was originally a villain in this script opposed to a minor anti hero in the final film) to kill Mater but he fails. It is also revealed that Zil is planning to assassinate the the Queen.
Livery
According to concept art, Zil was to be painted jet black, and have a chrome bumper.
Model
His design is based on the 1951 ZiS-112/1, a race car made in the Soviet Union that performed poorly.

Trivia
- Cars 2 is probably based on Zil's Personality and traits they came up with, such as behind everything and positive leadership or implementation, and finally split his personality into two roles, such as Miles Axlerod is behind everything; Professor Zündapp is frontal leadership or implementation.
