Wink R8 too damn good for IRONMAN stunt crew - 05-04-2008, 12:08 AM
Quote:
Director Jon Favreau had planned for the Audi R8 to be used in a final scene by being involved in a dramatic collision with Iron Man's wicked adversary. This had to be omitted from the final cut, Director Jon Favreau explains: "The crash just wasn't spectacular enough! Our stunt specialists did their best to turn the R8 over onto its roof, which would have given us a dramatic final scene, but they failed -- the car clung to the road too well!"
Jon Favreau, Producer Kevin Feige and John Armstrong, Picture Car Coordinator, give an impression of their efforts.

Looks like they have the worst special-effects team of the whole business... Or they have been paid by Audi to say crap like that.

When you want your car to go on the roof, you just put a special hydraulic or pneumatic arm (piston...) under it with a button. Press the button and the cars jumps on the roof. With that, you can make a double-salto on a flat road with a Carrera GT.

To see that in action, just watch the scene of Casino Royale when the DBS jumps in the air for no apparent reason when Bond tries to avoid Eva Green.

I would say its the later.
I'm now patiently awaiting for a photo to appear of an R8 on its roof at wreckedexotics.
