Marvel superhero Iron Man was spotted shopping in the Clifton Village area of Bristol.
He was driving around doing chores as baffled passers-by stared at the Marvel hero.
The iron-clad superhero was driving the new Hyundai Kona Iron Man Edition due out in the spring.
The limited edition superhero-styled car will do 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 130mph.
The Marvel superhero’s alter-ego Tony Stark isn’t known for carrying out everyday chores during his downtime.
Bemused onlookers watched the comic book legend take a dog for walk, go for a KFC drive-thru and drop off a load of cardboard at the local recycling plant.
He was spotted in upmarket Clifton Village, home of Brunel’s famous suspension bridge, where he carried out his grocery shop, visited a florist and checked out the offers at an opticians – to the shock of passing shoppers.
But the superhero wasn’t in the UK for his latest adventure – it was a lookalike visiting to show off the new Iron Man-inspired Hyundai Kona.
After being unveiled at Comic-Con in the USA last year, Hyundai has now confirmed it will bring 300 of the Kona Iron Man Edition SUVs to the UK.
The Kona has matte grey and ‘red armour’ exterior paint like Iron Man and rolls on a set of 18-inch alloy wheels which feature the superhero’s face.
Inside, the leather seats have red stitching and piping while the heated and ventilated front seats are embossed with the STARK Industries logo and Iron Man image on the backrests.
When the 177bhp engine is started up, both the infotainment and dial instrument screens display the Iron Man eyes.
And open the door when it’s dark and the Iron Man mask is projected onto the ground outside.
The Kona Iron Man Edition will do 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds and is capable of a top speed of 130mph.
It is on sale now for £27,995 and will arrive in UK showrooms on March 1.
Ashley Andrew, managing director, Hyundai Motor UK, said: “The Kona range has always had a strong identity with its expressive styling and choice of vibrant exterior colours.
“Kona Iron Man Edition takes this further, standing out even more with its Iron Man inspired looks and equipment.
“With only 300 cars coming to the UK, the Kona Iron Man Edition will be a unique ownership experience, combining the Kona’s style, technology and performance with a slice of superhero fun.”
