If you happen to see the upcoming film adaptation of the bestselling book from E L James, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” to be released on February 13, 2015, know that Audi will be doing plenty of product placements.
Five Audi vehicles will be featured in the movie: a 2014 R8 V10 Spyder, a 2013 S8 Quattro sedan, a 2012 Q7 3.0 TDI SUV, a 2013 S7 fastback, and a 2014 A3 1.8 hatchback.
Apparently, Audi chose different body-styles so as not to confuse movie-goers…(though, in all fairness, some of these models were mentioned in the book).
“It was a natural fit for Audi to be a part of ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ as it’s brought to life in theaters,” added Loren Angelo, Director of Marketing for Audi of America. “Audi is a brand that symbolizes performance, technology and modern design. The natural inclusion of our hottest models in this series illustrates how Audi has become truly synonymous with sophisticated luxury.”
Over the past few years, Audi has made several appearances in movies, including Ender’s Game with a futuristic concept and Iron Man 2.
