Check Out Tony Stark's New Ride in IRON MAN 3

This new Iron Man 3 photo gives us a look at Tony Stark showing off his new ride, the Audi R8 e-tron. It's the first electric car from the German automaker. It's not just a product placement car though, there's a reason they used this car in the movie. Variety reports that "Marvel was looking for a car partner that could provide a hybrid or electric-powered convertible for the movie since the drop top plays a significant role in the script." It's not known what role the drop top will play, but I guess we'll find out! I think the car actually gets destroyed when the Mandarin attacks Stark at his mansion. Unless that was different Audi that we saw in the trailer. As you know, Stark likes Audis.
