Did You Miss the Audi e-tron GT in This Record-Breaking Marvel Movie?

The Audi e-tron GT plays an underrated role that is still very in-your-face as it drives directly towards the screen in a grand entrance. While you may have not have paid much mind to the new electric vehicle the first time around, you'll certainly be paying attention the next time you watch it.

If you’re a Marvel fan, then there is no doubt that you’ve seen Avengers: Endgame, which brought together the Marvel universe into one fantastic show on the screen. Chances are you were so busy watching all of the action-packed scenes to notice that the movie showcased a car that had yet to be officially released at the time: the Audi e-tron GT.

It makes sense for the character, Tony Stark, to be driving an electric vehicle, but if you’re doubling back to watch the movie again you may notice something weird. In fact, chances are unless you were paying attention, you didn’t think much of the car in the first place, as it was so new that most viewers didn’t recognize the car for the amazing piece of engineering that it is. What’s weirder is, when the car pulls up to the Avenger’s headquarters in the movie it sounds like a gasoline-powered vehicle.
