Whilst Audi offers a taste of their proposed vehicle lineup like the SQ7, the best part is Marvel gets share some of their latest beautiful CGI work. A masterpiece even though it’s only a minute and a half. Audi choreographs a family getting sandwiched in a high-speed pursuit featuring Captain America, Black Panther and the Winter Soldier where the families red Audi Q7 easily maneuvers out with a swift turn for greener pastures. Our buds at Automotive News spoke with Audi who said to be on the lookout for latest A4 and A7 Sportbacks, Prologue Concept and the ultimate in Audi tech the R8 V10 Plus Coupe shown above with Iron Man at the wheel.

Let’s toss it in the air, destruction to cars in movies isn’t new. If I recall right every James Bond movie car has been wrecked or massively trashed. It’s a Special Agent 007 signature to wreck Aston Martins. It’s also become the Iron Man’s signature to destroy the R8 so I’m giddy to see how they are going to wreck this V10 Plus Coupe. Jalopnik reported back in 2013 specifically how much damage to cars Iron Man caused in films. Now the movie industry has taken that to the next level from Transformers with GM, Mission Impossible with BMW and the Need for Speed movie with every last generation hypercar. Add the pressure for heavier product placement, with the intensified level of demand for more excitement in action films drives this era of amazing destruction.
