Supercar Meets Superhero: 2008 Audi R8 vs. Iron Man
Superhero or Supercar  by Vernon Heywood
 
 

Introduction

I’m not Robert Downey Jr., and I’m definitely not Tony Stark, but for one night I did get to be a star. OK... maybe just a supporting actor to the real star that accompanied me to the official wide release opening of Iron Man: the 2008 Audi R8. It seems our invitation to the red carpet premiere in Hollywood got lost in the mail, so we had to make do with seeing it with all the other eager fans of the anodized-alloy clad superhero. But a question arose, were these fans here to see ol’ Metal Head on the big screen, or were they actually coming out to see Audi’s supercar?
