Robert Downey Jr. arrived for the premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles in an Audi R8 Spyder. It was a scene straight out of the Marvel Studios movie, in which main character Tony Stark drives the open-top two-seater.

The supercar matches the Super Hero's indestructible suit with its own carbon fiber composite materials in parts of its exterior skin, along with a high-strength aluminum frame known as the Audi Space Frame. And, they both have their hearts in the right place: a glowing artificial one in Iron Man's chest, and an impressive mid-engine design in the R8, which is visible externally.
