the R8 Spyder sports cars

Robert Downey Jr. has returned to his role as the ingenious engineer and superhero Iron Man ... which is motoring to the top of the box office charts.

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.

With its jet propulsion, the Iron Man suit worn by Robert Downey Jr. is unrivalled - and the R8 Spyder, with its 525 hp engine, needn't fear its rivals either.

The 5.2 litre FSI engine of the R8 powers the two-seater convertible to a top speed of 313 kilometres an hour.

Only flying could be better - and in this case, Iron Man clearly comes out on top.

But Robert Downey Jr. hardly needs to concern himself. In the movie, he has the best of both worlds.

"Just like the first movie, Iron Man 2 is the perfect environment for the Audi R8. Like us, the technologically ingenious Super Hero Tony Stark represents Vorsprung durch Technik. And just as the R8 Spyder was developed from the Audi R8, the Super Hero Tony Stark surprises us with new innovations," said Lothar Korn, head of marketing Communications at Audi.
