Audi A8 Shows Up at Spider-Man Premier Appropriately Disguised

[See image gallery at www.vwvortex.com]

Much like Spider-Man, the new A8 is constantly showing up in disguise and with a camera (several, in fact). Much like J. Jonah Jameson, I’m constantly yelling at my employees for more photos of both and smoking giant cigars at my desk (HR and I do not get along).

Fortunately for us all, the latest shots of both came at the same event at Hollywood’s TCL Chinese Theater, when both the A8 and the Spider-Man showed up to the premiere of the latest eponymous film in the series, A8: Homecoming.

The star of the film, the A8, can be partially seen in the film, ahead of its official reveal on July 11. According to Audi, parts of the front and side are visible in the film, as is the car’s level 3 autonomous driving function, which allows Happy Hogan (played by Jon Favreau) to take his hands off the wheel, freaking out Peter Parker (Tom Holland).

At the premier, meanwhile, Tom Holland was ferried in by a specially camouflaged A8. Dropping the usual swirl camouflage, it donned a spider web camouflage pattern for the special occasion.

Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr, for their part, showed up in an uncamouflaged R8 Spyder (get it?).

The film, which is receiving rave reviews, opens worldwide in July and is the first Spider-Man film to take place in the wider Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
