R8 caught in LA during video shoot

Not clear if it was a commercial or if it was a movie - the forum says commercial at first but a later post says it was filming for Die Hard 4. Who knows? Nice pictures nonetheless.

Doubtful that it's the movie either for the same reason.

Curious.

on the ad saying *(Euro model shown)

Even on audiusa.com....

putting a Euro license plate on it.

The former happens all the time, like you say, the latter almost never for ads that will run in the US.

Every car on the home page has a euro plate.

I just heard an announcement about closing the 105 freeway for weekends during November in order to do action scenes for Die Hard; so I guess that means it could have been shooting in town for that movie!

From Audi of America: "It is not in Die Hard 4. The set was being used to shoot for an internal purpose."

Audi uses Euro models in ad's all the time and then put a disclaimer on the ad saying (Euro model shown) Even on audiusa.com.... __________________ ------------------------------------------- Current: 2004 S4 No Warranty: 66K Fuel filter $45 67K Motor mount $200 67K Coil pack(s) $402 67K Window regulator $100 71K Battery $135 2003 TT 1.8T No Warranty: 50K Hazard Switch $50 Past: 1998 A4 1.8TQMS B6/7 S4 Hawk Pad part number update!
