The Avengers Acura S.H.I.E.L.D. MDX is a Multi-Million Dollar Superhero Ride

It comes with an unmanned aerial drone, stealth invisibility generators and is completely made up.

Comic book superheroes have been and will continue to hit our screens riding dirty in Acura cars, following the Japanese luxury brand's multi-picture deal with Marvel. Captain American and Thor have already featured them and the next superhero spectacular The Avengers will have a couple of models filling the screen. Recently spotted driving on set was Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), caught in a Acura NSX Spyder concept.

While the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division aka S.H.I.E.L.D. will have this MDX at their disposal. According to the accurate-looking Monroney sticker, the S.H.I.E.L.D. MDX with the Sentinel Package comes with the same Palladium-powered titanium engine, 9-speed hyper-shift and diamond quartz brakes as Stark's roadster, and boasts 234/304 mpg city/highway. An aerial drone is stored away in a briefcase in the back, the steering wheel has a palm-scan ID, and it also comes with a cloaking device - an invisio-shield exo-system wave modifier to be exact.

Other cool features include a bulletproof body, retracting repulsor canon, and advanced targeting system. Running the car won't come cheap as Palladium fuel costs $448/oz. But that won't be a concern to most as the MDX with special tactical packages is priced at almost $6m.
