2008 Audi R8 (Iron Man)
The Audi R8 made its debut appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the 2008 film Iron Man, instantly becoming synonymous with Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark. The fact that this was Audi’s first supercar was a big step for the company. One of the R8’s most recognizable features is its LED daytime running lights, which at the time no other production car had. The R8 was ahead of its time in a lot of aspects, which is why it fits with the movie so well (via Fandom).
The R8’s construction features an Audi Space Frame (ASF) made of aluminum. If you’ve ever driven a lightweight car you know what that means. But, the R8 was a lot different than other high-end performance cars from the period. The R8 stuck with the Iron Man franchise and the car ended up becoming a modest success for Audi.
