Audi A8 will star in Transporter 2

The original Transporter action film featured British bad-ass Jason Statham as Frank Martin, an ex-special forces agent turned driver-for-hire who goes up against a gang Asian people-smugglers. Damn shame it didn’t win Best Picture that year based solely on its incredible chase scenes featuring a BMW 7-series. The sequel that’s set to be released in the U.S. on September 2nd will have a new supporting star, the Audi A8 W12. Audi contributed four specially built A8s, two A3 Sportback 3.2 quattros and a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster to production, and we’re guessing it probably didn’t get them back when shooting wrapped.
