Four Audi vehicles take the spotlight
The fully electric Audi RS e-tron GT* is driven by Sierra Six (Ryan Gosling) and the fully electric Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron* is driven by Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas).

The Audi RS 7 Sportback* is featured in a chase sequence with Agent Dani Miranda behind the wheel and the Audi R8 Coupé* is seen in a drive up sequence with Avik San (Dhanush).

“This film has a global appeal and intrigue,” says Henrik Wenders, Head of Brand, AUDI AG. He explains the true extent of Audi’s role in creating the production, which went far beyond simply providing vehicles. “This cooperation made us feel action and high speed. Like the Russo brothers we at Audi are leveraging technology to create something unseen and unexperienced before,” he said. “Audi worked with the directors Joe and Anthony Russo on selecting the new cars. It was fascinating to be partners on this film production and to work closely with Netflix.”

Anthony Russo commented: “As storytellers, we have always been very interested in finding and exploring new technologies to find new tools to do something no one has ever done before. That’s what excites us. That kind of approach I would apply to anything particularly to the evolution that’s happening with cars right now.

As much as I love the cars of the past and today, I am certainly most interested in where cars are going tomorrow. That is an exciting new frontier that’s going to bring whole new experiences for us not only as drivers or consumers but also as people who have to coexist with cars.”

Following the Netflix launch on July 22, 2022, Audi will tell the story behind the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron* in a digital short film where viewers will learn how Agent Dani Miranda (Ana De Armas) was first acquainted with her electric car.

This collaboration between Audi and Netflix will come to life across nearly 30 countries around the world, with global premiere arrivals that include Audi’s fully electric fleet as well as social and digital activations for fans to further immerse themselves in the world of The Gray Man.
