Editor’s note: Audi of America has just released ’15 Movies Featuring Audi Vehicles to Watch While You Social Distance’ and in my opinion, they left out an important one…well at least to me. I know the star car of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is the 1961…Ferrari…250 GT…California (ooooh yeah) but did you know Mr. Bueller (the dad, not the ersatz younger Sausage King of Chicago) drove an Audi 5000 S Turbo? Easter egg- the Audi’s tag was MMOM for the movie ‘Mr. Mom’. Anyway, an exemption noticed by this Gen Xer whose favorite movie just happens to be Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
And who can forget the opening of Layer Cake with the RS 6 Avant, The Cult, and Daniel Craig???
Now on to the article and can you think of other movies that has an Audi in it?
