Audi's new R8, which stars alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow in Paramount Pictures' and Marvel Studios' Iron Man, took to city streets yesterday in honor of the premiere. A motorcade of 10 police-escorted R8s blitzed the Los Angeles area, departing from Audi's downtown dealership at 11 a.m. and ending at the Hollywood Roosevelt hotel at 3, after proceeding through downtown, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Westwood, and Brentwood. (The spectacle of the fleet is not likely to be seen again anytime soon: The car has a two-year waiting list for mere mortals.)
Later last evening, a crowd of celebrities arrived at the movie premiere at Grauman’s Chinese in the R8 cars plus a fleet of black Audi Q7 SUVs and A8L sedans.
