Audi Makes a Return to the Big Screen For Spider-Man

Audi’s vehicles will feature prominently in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming film.

The all-new Audi A8 will be making its big screen debut in the film, showing off the latest in the automaker’s AI technology. The film will also feature other Audi models including the R8 V10 Spyder, a vehicle that Tony Stark, otherwise known as Iron Man, has taken a liking to in other Marvel films. Additionally, the Audi TTS Roadster will make a guest appearance with Parker behind the wheel.

As part of the collaboration, Audi will release exclusive content including the digital short seen above, titled “Driver’s Test.” Featuring Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man, along with comedian J.B. Smoove, the video shows off some of the semi-autonomous features Audi is putting into its vehicles.

Spider-Man: Homecoming will be released on July 7, 2017.

“With ‘Spiderman-Man: Homecoming’ and our continued partnership with Marvel, we have the opportunity to reach the next generation of both superheroes and innovators,” said Loren Angelo, vice president of marketing, Audi of America. “At Audi, we are constantly redefining what superpowers are through our vehicles and this partnership and platform provide an organic way for us to showcase select current and future Audi Intelligent Technologies to that next generation audience that will be behind the wheel of our next generation models.”

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power.
