Heroes Drive Audi’s!
It’s true, heroes drive Audi‘s. Close your eyes for a second and think back about all the action movies that you have seen lately. Now tell me what stands out the most?
- The
Transporter 2 - Ronan
- I-Robot,
- Hitman
- and the latest is Iron Man.
Without a doubt, these movies have truly encapsulated the image of Audi and have used the vehicles as key roles in the the movies that further add the cool factor to the characters!
I-Robot would have simply been another action movie without the Audi RSQ, Hitman without the Audi S5 would have been Wimpman and Iron Man without the Audi R8 would have been called Jelly Man. Dammit, even Starsky and Hutch drove an Audi 100!
Many of you will argue that BMW and Aston Martin in the Bond films is probably bigger and fair enough. Aston Martin does deserve mention here. BMW, however, doesn’t deserve recognition. In fact, the only reason that BMW was favoured by the MI6 was because Aston Martin held the license to supply cars for the movies, and BMW had just bought Aston. It was decided that the image of BMW needed the lift and with a complete disregard to tradition, the idiots at Ingolstadt gave Bond a BMW instead.
Thank heavens that things have sorted themselves out and Bond rolls in an Aston Martin again!
Thanks for stuffing up the tradition BMW!
So, if Superman develops a fear for heights and can’t fly anymore, you can be sure that he will be found an Audi!

November 19, 2008 at 9:56 amThank you for the kind affirmations of our superb product. Yes, Audi's can only be found being driven by super-stars and people who appreciate supreme quality, classic sophistication and orgasmic sex appeal sportiness. Don't hesitate to contact me should you feel that you qualify to the aforementioned attributes. :) P.S. Lest we forget the all-time greatest car chase scene by an Audi S8 in Ronin!

November 19, 2008 at 10:11 amHey Jacques, Luckily I do qualify and I've been an owner for a lil while now. I never get invited to the new car launches though, so upgrading me might be a battle ;) Absolutely right, Ronin's car chase is STILL the greatest of our time! Keep me posted on any new developments on your side and I'll be more than happy to post about it!

November 19, 2008 at 11:12 amHey Dee, I KNOW that you qualify!! In fact you're over qualified, so we're honored to have you as part of our family, good thing incest is a game the whole family can play! JT
