Audi Opens "Iron Man" R8 Micro-Site, Gives Us A Few More Seconds Of Hot Video Action

After the big Super Bowl blitzkrieg, we all kind of knew the media marketing on Iron Man would muscle it's way beyond mere trailers, and it just has. The culprit? Audi, of course. The multi-ringed brand has spent some serious Deutsche-marks to set up a mini-site for the movie that shows off the R8, the rest of the Audi lineup, some historical background on the brand all about the Vorsprung durch Technik and about three whole seconds of all-new footage from the new movie with some Audi hand-job action spliced with it. Whatever. We're still excited about the movie and everyone already knows how excited we already are for the Audi R8. Although we'd prefer they'd have used the "Iron Man Red" Audi R8 V12 TDI Le Mans we saw live in Geneva. Full press release below the jump.

Iron Man Crushes Cobra, We Cry

Poor little Cobra. From what we can tell from this one screen shot found on the official Iron Man web site, the 427 we saw in the teaser shot of the Iron Man Super Bowl commercial — and then in the full commercial itself — doesn't quite make it out of the film in one piece. Ok, so it's probably obviously just a replica (It may be a big-budget flick, but nobody is THAT careless). Either way, we're saddened by the loss. Maybe Iron Man is just placing old supercars on notice, seeing as he does also have that Audi R8. Whatever the reason and despite it more than likely being a kit car, we lament the need to destroy one for the Coliseum crowds coming to watch this comic book cinematic spectacle. (Hat tip to Earl!)
