Marvel Studios' latest production, The Avengers, recently premiered in Hollywood, and among the red carpet head turners was the arrival of Robert Downey Jr., who plays the affable billionaire genius-turned-hero Tony Stark. The actor showed up driving none other than Tony Stark's Acura NSX Roadster, which was designed specifically for the movie. A few of the other Avengers (Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Jeremy Renner and Chris Hemsworth) also arrived to the premiere in Acuras. The silver screen car is dark mahogany and covered with chrome details that make it stand out in a crowd. This concept vehicle is a preliminary glimpse into the return of the NSX sports car, which has not been offered since 2005, but is due to return by 2015.

The NSX concept car, which debuted in Detroit a few months ago, also made an appearance at the New York Auto Show alongside the Avengers S.H.I.E.L.D. Acura MDX that was used in the movie. This SUV was specially-designed for the film, and its fictitious features included blue and red flashers in all the exterior lights, a night-vision HUD windshield, bulletproof tires, tinted radar-proof windows and a steering wheel with palm-scan ID. Acura placed the vehicle value at around $3.6 million, and also claimed it had a fuel economy of 302 MPG on the highway, which proved the vehicle was not actually available, despite a display that made it seem real to guests of the show.

While this highly-customized SUV will likely never exist in real life, car lovers can see it in action in the new Avengers movie, due to premiere nationwide on May 5. Those in the market for a tough SUV like the Acura MDX or a sportier model reminiscent of the NSX can head to New Jersey State Auto Auction, which has a variety of used makes and models at affordable prices.
