'''Sir Miles Axlerod''' is the main antagonist of Pixar’s 12th full-length animated feature film ''[[Cars 2]]'' and a cameo character in its 2017 sequel, ''[[Cars 3]]''.

He was a rich oil baron before his arrest in [[London]] for destroying the climax of the [[World Grand Prix]], his own scam of an event.

Early concepts of ''Cars 2'' had considered a [[Zil|Russian car]] or 1967 Ford Corsair as the main villain instead of Miles. His last name, "Axlerod", apparently originated from an old joke his voice actor [[Eddie Izzard]] once told concerning the invention of the wheel and axle.

==Official profiles and statistics ==

** "''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 host of the World Grand Prix, a three-country race he created that attracts the world's top athletes to promote his new clean burning fuel, Allinol.''"<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20160410205828/http://www.stitchkingdom.com/disney-cars-2-meet-miles-axlerod-nigel-gearsley-14788/ 'Cars 2' Meet Miles Axlerod and Nigel Gearsley] (Archived)</ref>

** Weight class: Heavy

*Portuguese (Brazilian): ''Miles Eixodarroda''

*Russian: ''Сэр Майлз Карданвал'' (transcription: ''Ser Maylz Kardanval'')

* Miles' tires' texture repeats a leaf-shaped motif.

**During his interview on the ''Mel Dorado'' TV show, Axlerod eagerly says that oil costs a big fortune, hinting at his greed and saying how alternative energy is the way for future and no one would have to use gasoline by the end of World Grand Prix, which mirrors what he says about everyone racing back to gasoline during the Lemons' meeting.

**While speaking to Mater at the party in Japan, Axlerod's eyes widen at the sound of oil leaking when he quickly says that Mater had leaked oil. This implied that Axlerod realized he had leaked oil and blamed it on Mater, in order to hide the fact he's not truly an electric car.  

***This comes back to light when Mater realizes that Axlerod had leaked oil while realizing that Axlerod is [[the Lemons]]' mysterious mastermind.

*** After a major crash during the second race, Axlerod rushes to speak to the press; hinting that Axlerod had to quickly change into his public persona so he can discredit the usage of Allinol in the next race.

** When speaking to McQueen before the race in London, he tells him he has hopes of him winning and expectations of him proving that Allinol is safe. This implies that Axlerod wants McQueen to participate in the race just so he can be killed and prevent him from backing out in order to find Mater whom Axlerod's minions had managed to capture.
