Acura to Make and Sell Tony Stark's New Car from THE AVENGERS!

That sexy open-top sports car that Robert Downey Jr. was seen driving on the set of The Avengers was supposed to be a one-off, but Acura has had a change of heart.

The website Jalopnik is reporting that Tony Stark's hot new ride won't just be a fictional vehicle for the movie, but in fact be hitting a showroom near you in the future. The new vehicle that is designed to look like the one in the photos below is an Acura NSX. It will be a hybrid!

According to an Acura dealer national meeting attendee's furtive report from the Aria hotel in Las Vegas, the new Acura NSX that'll reportedly be shown at next month's Detroit Auto Show will look extremely similar to Tony Stark's car in the upcoming Avengers movie. But wait, there's more.

It'll also be, according to our tipster, a "hybrid" — yes, you read that correctly — and "will hit dealer showrooms in 24 months." Also, it'll be AWD. - Jalopnik





Marvel's The Avengers picks up when an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security.

@Bman - I agree. I don't see any scenario where Stark would be driving a Honda, except if his company was bought up and he now is the pokemaster.

does anybody know what the powerplant/drivetrain is supposed to be? It better be RWD or AWD, nobody wants a FWD sports car. Are you listening Acura? As far as looks and proportions go, I have to say that from the front it looks alot like the Audi R8(only with a more agressive/angular Iron-man design aesthetic).

well I prefer the look of the Audi and it's a little bit like when Bond started driving BMWs.

True, the Audi is alot more refined and sophisticated looking, but don't forget, Tony is a tech-obsessed uber-douche, so the more garrish and obnoxiously futuristic lokking car would be more to his taste.
