Oscar-winning Actress Attends Launch of the New Audi Super Avant
  Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow descended on Piccadilly in London to attend the launch of the latest Audi - the RS 6 Avant - an estate with supercar performance. The RS 6 Avant is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine and it is the most potent Audi currently made.  It features 560Ps and 700Nm of torque, a sprint time to 62 mph of just 3.9 seconds and a top speed electronically limited to 155mph (which can be raised to 189mph upon request). Gwyneth has many links with Audi through the movies – as Pepper Potts she drove models from the prestige German brand in all three of the Iron Man action series  –  and America’s leading lady of the moment also drives an Audi in Los Angeles.  Gwyneth marked the car’s  launch by signing its ‘Lunar Silver’ leather interior and immortalizing it as an unrepeatable one-off.
