Default T1 Does Show an A8

In the trailer you can clearly see both interior and exterior shots of the D2 A8L, but they are interspersed with shots of a BMW 7 Series. Looks to me like the director couldn't make up his mind. In particular notice the shot of the trunk being closed.

Transporter 2 is always switching the cars too, one minute there is facelift lights next minute not loads of other little things too, yes I'm a geek 😀

Holy blast from the past. I loved the 7 series in the first Transporter and then he switched to Audis and I was even more in love.

As for the Audi S8 in Ronin.....YES PLEASE! Those two movies made me fall in love with the big boy Audi and am very pleased to own one now.

Some of the features on car were just fantasy.
Just watched the transporter reloaded or whatever.
Mmi screen was like radar three red dots coming from behind ( the cars that were chasing him )
Press the remote and the doors pop open and smash the bad guys.
Any way good movie if you want to watch a8/s8/w12 or whatever flogging every other car around. Like a big Audi commercial.

Can you spot how many time the car changes?

For what ever reason, Hollywood can't ever seem to keep the same A8 from scene to scene. Last time they did where the car was prominent, I think was Ronin.
