The main set piece of Hollywood Dream Machines will be the &#8220;deconstructed&#8221; Audi R8 V10 driven by Tony Stark in\u00a0<em>Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/em> and <em>Captain America: Civil War<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And if I have to tell you who Tony Stark is, then I don&#8217;t know how I can help you son.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this R8 was inspired by Swiss artist Fabian Oefner. It&#8217;s one of those &#8220;exploded diagrams in real life&#8221; sort of deals with the vehicle\u2019s many components suspended in midair on wires. Standing next to it will be one of the iconic red and gold Iron Man costumes worn by Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s character.<\/p>\n<h2>Perfect Marriage<\/h2>\n<p>Conveniently enough, this is the 10th anniversary of the collaboration between Audi and Marvel Studios. Or, to put it another way, this is the 10th anniversary of Audi paying huge amounts of money to a Hollywood studio for a fantastic product placement opportunity. For example, The Petersen Automotive Museum points out that Tony Stark has driven multiple generations of the R8 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including the Audi e-tron GT concept in <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>They didn&#8217;t say that Tony also drove an NSX in one of the movies, but hey, why quibble?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re proud to highlight Audi and Marvel Studios\u2019 connection in \u2019Hollywood Dream Machines,\u2019\u201d said\u00a0Terry L. Karges, Petersen Automotive Museum Executive Director. \u201cThis exhibit is a love letter to the science fiction and fantasy vehicles that spark our imaginations and the amazing technology of both Audi and Iron Man are a perfect example of this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also falling into the &#8220;conveniently enough&#8221; category is how it&#8217;s also the anniversary of Audi having the good sense to raid the corporate parts bin and drop a Lamborghini V10 engine into the R8. Genius move, just brilliant. Audi is taking this opportunity to mark <em>that <\/em>occasion with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/2020-audi-r8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-lasso-id=\"17133\">limited edition R8 V10 Decennium<\/a>. They&#8217;re making 222 of the beasts with the last 50 being available in the United States.

For example, the\u00a0Audi RSQ concept, driven by Will Smith in<em> i, Robot<\/em>; the Warthog from <em>Halo<\/em>; the DeLorean time machine from <em>Back to the Future<\/em>; Black Beauty from <em>The<\/em>\u00a0<em>Green Hornet<\/em>; the Weyland Industries RT01 Group Transport from <em>Prometheus<\/em>; Bumblebee from the <em>Transformers<\/em> series, and the GM Ultralight from <em>Demolition Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, a Batmobile, although sadly, it&#8217;s one of the Tim Burton versions.<\/p>\n<p>Also on display will be the Lexus from <em>Black Panther<\/em>, which seems like a normal Lexus only all scratched up. Somehow they got Rick Deckard&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.automoblog.com\/blade-runner-flying-cars\/\" data-lasso-id=\"17135\">Sedan from <em>Blade Runner<\/em><\/a>, which is rarely seen in public. Frankenstein&#8217;s Shala Vette from <em>Death Race 2000<\/em> will be there &#8211; I didn\u2019t even realize that thing was a Vette! The not driven (but definitely seen) Ford Flathead Roadster from Tony Stark&#8217;s garage is there, as is a Ford Explorer from <em>Jurassic Park<\/em>. They actually sold these <em>Jurassic Park<\/em> ones to the public. There was one in the parking lot of the Ralph\u2019s all the time when I lived in Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>And last but not least, the\u00a0Pontiac Firebird from\u00a0<em>Knight Rider<\/em> will be on display.
