Think you can be like Marvel’s resident millionaire Tony Stark? The same guy who wows the ladies, cashes in the big checks and wears a red and yellow (or gold, depending on how he’s colored) armor in his spare time and fights crime? Well, if you think you can, then one thing you need to do is find a way to hook yourself up with his newest ride: the Audi R8.
Driven by Tony Stark (played by Robert Downey Jr.) in the upcoming Iron Man movie, this sleek sports car packs a punch (a huge one as a matter-of-fact) and isn’t just for show. I mean, if you’re Tony Stark, you wouldn’t settle for anything less, right? Now what makes this bad boy a favorite of our armored hero? Well, let’s start off first with its powerful engine. The Audi R8 uses a 4.2-liter engine that can give you a maximum speed of 414 hp. If you thought that was fast, then ask yourself this: in how many seconds can this baby hit 60mph? The answer: 4 seconds. Now that’s fast. Aside from having a powerful engine, much like the Iron Man armor, the Audi R8 relies on the use of technological advanced gadgets like a 6-speed manual transmission robotic gearbox called the R-tronic gearbox and magneto rheological dampers for its suspension. And of course, it comes with a high-end and state-of-the-art sound system from Bang & Olufsen, to help bring out the player in you.
So if you feel like you can strut and fill the shoes of Tony Stark, then you’d better get yourself an Audi R8. In case you can’t afford to get one now, then just try catching him cruise around town when the new Iron Man hits the big screen. Or better yet, if you just happen to have a sports car of your own and you just want to spruce or customize it to make it look more similar to the Audi R8 used in the movie, then try hooking it up with some auto parts that you think might help get that dream ride of yours up and running like an Audi R8. Better hurry though as Mr. Stark has his sights set on stealing all the beautiful women.
