Don't tell Toyota, but Iron Man drives an Audi - at least in the movies.
Not to be confused with longtime Toyota off-road truck racer Ivan "Iron Man"
Stewart,
we're talking about
Tony "Iron Man" Stark here. Word from
Variety is that the newest
big screen superhero
will be piloting Audi's
latest supercar, the R8. The Ingolstadt
flyer was chosen by Marvel
Studios and Paramount Pictures to be the personal
wheels of
billionaire industrialist
Tony Stark. At least when he's not donning
his armor as Iron Man, he'll be tooling
around in this mid-engine
stunner.
And from the sound of it, the movie will be a
family affair
with the A6, Q7
and the upcoming S5 playing supporting roles.
Expect a huge movie tie-in
campaign for the film's release
that's scheduled
for May 2nd 2008. |
