http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2011/09/starkacura.jpgNext summer, when The Avengers opens to packed multiplexes, playboy billionaire Tony Stark will be rolling in a trick new ride. After driving an Audi R8 in the two Iron Man features, Stark apparently switches to a never-before-seen Acura sports car (in keeping with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s use of all Acura vehicles, as seen in this summer’s *Thor *and *Captain America *films).
The new ride appears in a series of on-set photos published at SuperHeroHype.com (borrowed from WENN.com) showing Robert Downey, Jr. standing next to it as Chris Hemsworth (Thor) and Tom Hiddleston (Loki) look on. Another shot, posted at WorstPreviews.com (we’ve posted a cropped version here), shows the mystery Acura convertible sportscar by itself, parked on the set in New York’s Central Park.
Note to the spoiler-averse: the WorstPreviews.com report explicitly details the scenes that were filmed, and they’re reportedly for the the conclusion of the movie. So, you’ve been warned.
We also have a note in to Acura to see if they’ll give up any other information. We’ll update the post accordingly if and when we know more.Tony Stark trades his Audi for mystery Acura in The Avengers originally appeared on Autoblog on Sat, 03 Sep 2011 13:05:00 EST.
