An Audi R8 Is Apparently The Only Thing That Can Excite An Old Retired Astronaut
If you're old and used to be an astronaut, you'll need an R8 to reinvigorate yourself. At least, that seems to be what Audi is trying to tell us in this curious new Super Bowl advert...
The new Audi R8 is no spaceship, but it is a rather good car. Click here for our verdict.

This commercial makes me ultra sad :(
I Don’t want to be picky but he gave him the old style key. And the r8’s have the new style key same as the New (TT,Q7,A4)
Brilliant advert, won’t be long before it’s removed for “glorifying speeding” or some other rubbish, it’s a shame the world has to be so P.C. …….
Born to drive. Addicted to speed. That’s life.
They should have played Chris Hadfield’s cover of Space oddity.
YES!
Astronauts drive Corvettes, not Audis.
Never noticed this before. Love it lol
Because Audi is going to test Quattro on the moon
So VW/Audi has money to justify a Superbowl commercial, but not buy back the vehicles affected by the diesel scandal?
I am pretty sure that this commercial doesn’t cost a couple of billion dollars. Also most of their vehicles are legal in many countries (pretty much every country except USA), so it’s a special case of problem just for USA.
the bowie song fits it so well!
2nd comment, was a proud hater of Audi until i started watching Lemans in 2009/10 and realised they really have their act together. Since then Audi R8’s just get better and better and if i had the money lying around, it would be going on an R8 for sure (yellow)
